I offer direct therapeutic sessions for any situation where people are struggling with a range of stresses and feel as though they have exhausted their own ideas for resolving the situation.  These could include:

• family/relationships stresses such as those arising from separation, divorce, bereavement, unemployment.
• dilemmas and challenges for parents and carers including foster carers and adopters. 
• behaviour difficulties in children.
• common emotional difficulties including anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, fears and phobias, low mood, voice- hearing and anger based issues in children, young people and adults,
  
• ​couple's relationship problems.
• the impact of trauma, abuse and neglect.
• self harm.
• substance misuse.
• issues that are affecting young people’s school behaviour attendance, performance and friendships and work related stress in adults.

My aim would be to assist you as early as possible, often before the problems have reached a level that would meet the threshold for NHS services.  My services are also for those people and families who prefer to obtain help outside of the NHS for more longstanding concerns.
