Based in Crewe and near Nantwich in South Cheshire, I have comfortable, private therapy rooms within a large terraced house available for clients.

There are lots of reasons why people decide to begin counselling. Some of these include a general sense of unhappiness, or important life changes and transitions, for example, redundancy, retirement, bereavement and loss, relationship breakdown or divorce, illness, changes to your sense of identity, a lack of purpose or direction in life, work stress.

Other factors can be trauma or a traumatic event, triggers from childhood experiences, lack of close support or a sense of attachment to other people, feeling depressed or anxious or misunderstood, having low self-esteem and a lack of confidence. Sometimes it is because current ways of coping no longer seem to be working as they once did and you can feel overwhelmed.
