Difficult feelings and states of mind – Anxiety, depression, anger, shame, guilt, stress, low self-esteem.

Relationship issues – divorce, parents, parenting, family conflict, workplace issues, couples work, infidelity, betrayal, friendship, co-dependency, dealing with a narcissistic parent or partner, growing up in a narcissistic family, echoism (the other side of the coin of narcissism) pregnancy, becoming a mother.

Addiction – I do not work with life-threating addictions, which require specialist expertise, but I work with people who use food, substances, or behaviours as a maladaptive support.  Addiction is a wide spectrum of a multitude of things that calm, numb, excite, or just make us happy in the moment, but they are always a sticking plaster over the wound, and so they are guides to where the work needs to focus.

Co-dependency – this is about the person who sacrifices their needs for the needs of others, and as a consequence loses themself. Often the co-dependent finds themself in a relationship with an addict.

Identity – sexual identity, imposter syndrome, not feeling you are authentically you.

Childhood legacies – abandonment, neglect, emotional neglect, the parentified child, bullying, troubling memories of school, boarding school, academic pressure, being seen for who your parents wanted you to be (not who you are) not being seen or heard, having to be something you were not.

Trauma and PTSD – I am qualified in, and use, EMDR to help with single event trauma, or adverse childhood experiences which were the norm. More information can be found at https://emdrassociation.org.uk/discover-emdr/
