Counselling Stockton-On-Tees
A Counselling service that helps clients with life difficulties that are affecting your day-to-day life. Are you feeling it is time to help you? are you looking for support to get back on track, feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed.
It is all too often we put others before ourselves, keep our peace of mind on the back burner. Are you looking for support to get back on track?
Counselling for my clients has helped to unlock feelings and thoughts, by exploring what is said and reflecting on things felt. They feel understood, relieved, and heard. I have no agenda to meet or boxes to tick, it is about you, what you bring and what you need.
It is not just talking in our sessions I also work creatively and think outside of the box. Using creativity to dig deep and explore patterns of behaviour and letting go of negative thoughts. By giving you ways to see things hidden or face fears, you do the work and benefit from the results. The session is aimed around your needs and end goals.
I am not just guessing how it feels or reading a book to gain knowledge I have lived with what I specialise in, I suffered with anxiety, depression and work-related stress and now it’s the menopause.
I am a firm believer in 'there is no such thing as normal' so I wanted to be honest and tell you a bit about me and what made me become a counsellor and seek my own counselling.
Being a parent of a child with multiple complex mental health disorders was tiring, frustrating and lonely as I seemed to be on my own, at times I was expected to know more than the specialists. She is the reason I got into Counselling as watching someone I care deeply about from a child to an adult, feel continuously let down and judged over their mental health, just another statistic. I wanted to be that someone for them, so they did not feel alone.
Online therapy
Is provided through online video chat that allows the counsellor to talk to the client in real-time.
Some people might feel more comfortable talking about topics such as their feelings, personal issues, and goals over the internet rather than face to face. They can experience therapy from the comfort of their home and some counsellors are more likely to offer therapy outside of traditional business hours.

Specialisations
Do you think you are either "not enough" or "too much" for the people around you. Perhaps you feel guilty and think "it's all my fault" - that there's something wrong with you.
Maybe you're experiencing anxiety and stress as you try to please people. I can help you think in a more positive way leading to a happier life and healthy relationships.
Without even realising, you're probably telling yourself how bad you are. Counselling with me will unlock different thoughts so that you can lead a more positive life. Clients tell me they feel relieved, understood, and that they have a voice again.
** I cover more areas not listed see profile
Most common issues I support people with:
Anxiety: My clients often have anxiety as the core issue and are struggling to manage or cope with this on their own. This includes social anxiety and generalised anxiety disorder. Some clients have anxiety from using dating apps, starting fresh with someone new or ending something (e.g. relationship, job, moving etc..) and the anxiety that comes with it.
Depression: We all have times when our mood is low, and we're feeling sad or miserable about life. Usually these feelings pass in due course.But if the feelings are interfering with your life and don't go away after a couple of weeks, or if they come back over and over again for a few days at a time, it could be a sign that you're experiencing depression.
work related stress: My clients are going through a career change, do not like their jobs anymore or have started in a new job role and find it overwhelming or stressful. It's helpful to learn how to manage stress caused by work. If you often experience feelings of stress, you might be at risk of developing a mental health problem like depression or anxiety.
Feeling lost/ loss of identity: Feeling lost can be caused by several factors, such as a lack of purpose, fulfilment, or direction. Right now, it may seem like life has no meaning. The important thing to tell yourself is that you need to go easy on yourself instead of blaming yourself for feeling lost.
Feeling lost - like life has no purpose or meaning This could be due to:
- parenting a special needs child or child with complex mental health needs
- illness or the menopause
- handling difficult situations such as a job or relationship loss
- Loss (death or loss of loved one from breakup or job)
- Emotional factors like anxiety, depression
Feeling lost can make you question everything such as your relationships, careers and friendships.
You may feel like you no longer know who you are and this affects your confidence, Self esteem or self image.
Relationship Counselling for individuals: Do you struggle to form or maintain relationships with others? Maybe you're afraid to try again as you do not want to get hurt?
My clients have said it feel's like when a relationship ended for them it was ‘their fault ‘or ‘they were too much.’ I can help you find the mental strength to move forward, be more self-assured and confident in your relationships on a personal, work or friendship level.
