Welcome to my e-mail counselling service. I hope after reading this page you will understand a little more about e-mail counselling and how it works.

There are many, varied reasons why we may all at some point in our lives benefit from the services of a counsellor.

You may have recently lost a loved one. You may feel depressed, energy less, as though life has no purpose. It may be that you are leading a life that you feel is simply not YOU but feel trapped or powerless to change your present circumstances

Often we find ourselves in a crisis, having to be strong and responsible while inside we are distraught and exhausted, such as when we lose a partner, but we are still responsible for the wellbeing of our children and trying to be there for them emotionally. Later on, sometimes years later ,we may find ourselves feeling listless, tearful, for no apparent reason, or detached from our feelings, finding it hard to feel anything. The feelings and grief unable to be expressed at the time are re-appearing in a different form. We are being offered the opportunity to experience our grief and the feelings around our loss and then move on with our lives.

Or you may wish to explore your hopes and fears around a change of direction in your life, leaving a long term relationship, a new career, a move abroad, or milestones in your life such as marriage, planning a family or retirement.

Change is always possible, when we learn how to distance ourselves from the intensity of the trapped feelings our problems create in us and instead learn to find in ourselves a little , calm space from which to view our problems from a non reactionary place .

Problems are simply "invitations in disguise",to change self defeating patterns that do not serve us and stop us from realising our full potential and feeling free to be who we truly are.These patterns are often inherited beliefs that have been passed down to us through the generations. When we learn how to free ourselves from these beliefs , we become free to live our lives in a way that feels congruent with who we feel we are deep down inside.

Whatever you find yourself facing e-mail counselling can generally help.
