Anxiety, overthinking & stress support counselling

​

You might find yourself worrying a lot, going over conversations or decisions in your head, or feeling on edge without always knowing why. Your thoughts may feel loud or hard to switch off, even when you’re tired or want to rest.

​

Anxiety can show up in many ways — tension in your body, difficulty sleeping, feeling irritable or overwhelmed, or constantly preparing for things that might go wrong. Over time, this can be exhausting and leave very little space to feel settled or at ease.

 

Counselling can offer a calmer space to slow things down, gently explore anxiety, stress, and overthinking, and help you feel more grounded. We’ll work at a pace that feels manageable for you, without pressure to “fix” anything quickly.

​

Low confidence, self-doubt, & self-esteem counselling support

​

You might be very hard on yourself, questioning your choices or feeling like you’re never quite enough. You may notice yourself comparing yourself to others, people-pleasing, or avoiding situations because you don’t feel confident enough.

​

Low confidence can quietly affect many parts of life — relationships, work, decision-making, and how you feel about yourself day to day. Often, it’s shaped over time through experiences rather than coming from one clear cause.

 

Counselling can help you begin to understand where these feelings come from, develop a kinder relationship with yourself, and feel steadier in who you are. This isn’t about becoming someone different, but about reconnecting with yourself and building trust in your own thoughts and feelings.

Counselling for low mood, feeling stuck, & emotional exhaustion

​

Sometimes life just feels heavy. You might feel flat, emotionally tired, unmotivated, or unsure how to move forward. Days can start to blur together, and things that once felt manageable may begin to feel like too much.

​

You don’t need to feel deeply distressed to seek counselling — feeling stuck, disconnected, or worn down is reason enough. These feelings often make sense in the context of what you’ve been carrying, even if they’re hard to put into words.

​

Counselling offers space to explore these feelings gently, without judgement or pressure. Together, we can begin to understand what’s been weighing on you and what you might need to feel more supported and grounded.

​

Counselling for past experiences & unresolved emotional impact

​​

Past experiences can stay with us in ways we don’t always realise. You might notice patterns in relationships, strong emotional reactions, or feelings that don’t quite make sense in the present. Sometimes it’s only when life slows down or feels safer that these experiences come to the surface.

​

You don’t need to revisit everything in detail for counselling to be helpful. We can work carefully and respectfully, focusing on how these experiences are affecting you now, rather than reliving them.

​

Counselling can help you make sense of these patterns, develop a greater sense of safety and self-understanding, and feel more able to respond to life in ways that feel right for you.

​

Anything you'd like to bring

​

You’re also welcome to bring anything else you’d like to talk about. Counselling doesn’t have to fit neatly into a label or category — this is your space, and we’ll focus on what feels most important to you.​

​

If at any point you and I feel that another counsellor or service might be better placed to support you, we would always talk this through gently and openly. My priority is that you have the support that feels right for you, even if that means helping you find something different.

If you’re unsure whether counselling feels right, you’re welcome to get in touch for a free initial chat — just a chance to talk things through and see how it feels.
