Zoe

Hello and welcome

I am Zoe, I believe reaching out for support is one of the hardest things to do but is often one of the most life changing and rewarding things you will ever do. Life can feel overwhelming at times and having someone impartial and external to your situation to offload and share your experiences with can be invaluable. I can offer you a calm non judgemental space where a trusting empathic, genuine therapeutic relationship can develop in which way we can work together to support and empower you in your life moving forward.

Over the past 4 years I. have specialised and having an interest in working with adults that are navigating periods of change in their lives. This could be relationship  changes or general life changes which might have brought up feelings of anxiety or uncertainty. You may be someone who is finding it hard to find their way in life, or navigating a hard divorce, we can work together to find a way forward. In my experience it has proven valuable to adapt my methods depending on the person I am working with. I am more than happy to work with you in a way that works best. I can help to challenge those automatic responses/reactions you might have caught yourself having, helping us to break that negative and unhelpful cycle of thinking!

I also have experience and a keen interest in working with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, behavioural issues, self-harm, family breakdowns and anger issues.

How we work together:

Having had therapy myself I can empathise with how nerve wracking the thought of counselling can be. But rest assured I value myself to be patient, caring, friendly and a trustworthy sounding board for you to get to know. I help clients explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviours so they can develop a better understanding of themselves and others. I will not give my opinion or advice. I hope to help clients find their own solutions – whether that’s making effective changes in their life or finding better ways of dealing with emotional issues and providing coping strategies where appropriate. Sessions are completely led by you and are at your own pace, once we have explored the issues at hand we can then look at ways of alleviating that anxiety, pain or stress which is holding you back from being the best version of you. What might life look like free from the issues you are having? We can work together to achieve that goal.

Thank you for considering me as your counsellor.

I have had both of my Covid vaccinations and my booster.
