Areas of support in depth
Every person's experience is unique. Below are some of the difficulties clients bring to counselling in Livingston and online — though you don't need a "reason" to begin.
Anxiety can show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks, difficulty sleeping or physical tension. Counselling helps you understand what triggers your anxiety, notice the patterns that keep it going and develop ways of coping that feel manageable — including support for generalised and social anxiety.
Trauma can affect how safe you feel in your body, your relationships and the world around you. As a member of the Action Trauma Group, I have a particular interest in supporting people living with the ongoing impact of trauma, working gently and at a pace that feels safe for you.
Feeling flat, exhausted, hopeless or disconnected can make everyday life feel heavy. Counselling offers a space to talk openly about how you feel, explore what may be contributing to low mood and gradually reconnect with what matters to you.
Grief is a natural response to loss, yet it can feel overwhelming and isolating. Bereavement counselling gives you time and space to remember, to feel and to make sense of your loss — whether it is recent or happened many years ago.
Whether you come alone or as a couple, counselling can help you understand recurring conflicts, rebuild communication and explore what you need from your relationships with partners, family, friends or colleagues.
Pressure at work, burnout, workplace conflict or bullying can affect every part of your life. Counselling can help you step back, regain perspective, set healthier boundaries and consider what changes might help.
A harsh inner critic or a feeling of not being good enough can hold you back. Together we can explore where these beliefs come from and build a kinder, more confident relationship with yourself.
Living through domestic or psychological abuse can leave lasting effects on your sense of self and safety. Counselling offers a confidential, non-judgemental space to be believed, to process your experiences and to rebuild.
Feelings after an abortion can be complex and may include relief, sadness, guilt or grief — sometimes all at once. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space to explore whatever you are experiencing.
Family relationships can be a source of great support and great pain. Counselling can help you understand family dynamics, navigate conflict and decide how you want to relate to the people closest to you.
