We all feel depressed, anxious, down, or stressed at times, but if you’ve been feeling these things a lot or even most of the time, lacking any enjoyment with nothing to look forward to, life can feel miserable. Additionally, you may not understand why you’ve been feeling this way, but know that you just don’t feel like your usual self, and you may be feeling powerless to change how you feel, or hopeless about things getting better. You might want to talk to someone about how you’re feeling but don’t want to burden friends or family, and may feel nervous or apprehensive, or embarrassed about seeking help from a counsellor or therapist.

You may also be suffering due to difficulties within your relationship, and experiencing resentment, confusion, and other difficult and painful emotions. You might be struggling to understand the dynamics and patterns in your relationship, and why you keep arguing with your partner or don't communicate, or why there is no intimacy when there used to be, asking yourself why your relationship is a source of pain and stress rather than love, comfort and joy.   Alternatively you may be aware that you struggle with feelings of low self-worth, confidence or esteem, and are very critical (a strong inner critic) of yourself, or others. 

I’ll provide you with a space in which you feel safe, and supported to explore, express and understand your feelings and relationship difficulties in confidence and without judgment, so that together we can help you find a way through them to greater wellbeing and enjoyment, and discover the solutions to the problems and challenges in your relationships and your life. I provide counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples in London (Brixton, Clapham, Streatham, and elsewhere in South West London) and online.
