My work brings together existential counselling and extensive experience supporting people with ADHD and autism-offering space to understand yourself, explore what matters to you, and work through life&#8217;s difficulties.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Counselling is there to help you to navigate your way through those overwhelming feelings. More than that, counselling is there to help you find a pathway towards a fulfilling life that gives you a sense of purpose.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to seek counselling isn&#8217;t an easy one. It&#8217;s essential that when you decide to begin your counselling journey, you find a counsellor you can connect with. My approach is to give you a safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore the emotions that are troubling you. We can all learn valuable lessons from our feelings, which we can use to teach us how to choose a life that makes us happy.<\/p>\n<p>I offer online video and telephone counselling for clients in Bristol and across the UK, and welcome international enquiries. Face-to-face sessions take place in Ross-on-Wye, welcoming clients from Hereford, Monmouth, Forest of Dean, Gloucester and surrounding areas. A limited number of concessionary spaces are available &#8211; please ask about availability.<\/p>\n<p>My clients have found that therapy has helped them regain a sense of purpose in their life. It has given them a sense of power over their recovery.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, clients dealing with loss and grief, depression, anxiety, <a href=\"https:\/\/brighter-pathways.co.uk\/index.php\/start-your-counselling-journey-today-3\/\">addiction<\/a>, ADHD, and PTSD have found that this sense of empowerment has helped them move forward with their lives.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to find out more about counselling, please get in touch. We can have an informal chat to help you decide whether you think it&#8217;s right for you.
