Lifestorm Counselling

Is your anxiety acting as a stumbling block in your everyday life? Do you feel overwhelmed and find it difficult to regain control? Have you lost your sense of identity or purpose in life? At Lifestorm Counselling, I offer confidential and personalised counselling services tailored to your needs, providing you with the support and tools necessary to navigate life's storms and restore balance.

The Lifestorm Philosophy: Adapting to Life's Challenges

The name 'Lifestorm' sprung to mind as I observed a Cape cormorant braving a severe gale off the coast of South Africa. It demonstrated remarkable adaptability, enabling it to land safely despite the harsh conditions. Human lives, in contrast, are infinitely more complex and challenging. We can't possibly be prepared for every storm that comes our way. As a counsellor, I am committed to accompanying individuals over the age of 18 through their unique storms and offering a helping hand as they work towards a stronger and more resilient position in life.

How I Can Help: Navigating Life's Complexities Together

Life's complexities can leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed, leading to behaviours and thought patterns that hinder our growth. Common issues that people seek help for include childhood trauma, family and relationship difficulties, work-related stress, sexuality, addiction, and other personal challenges. My role as a counsellor since 2008 has been to build trust-based therapeutic relationships with my clients, helping them explore their thoughts and feelings in a safe and judgement-free environment, and empowering them to navigate life's challenges and embrace new opportunities.

My Approach: A Positive Journey Towards Personal Growth

Counselling is a collaborative effort that fosters mental well-being, improved coping strategies, and better management of issues. With a strong belief in the importance of trust and honesty, I work with my clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, allowing them to gain a fresh perspective on their lives. Counselling can be an invaluable resource for individuals seeking a more fulfilling life, and it's not solely centred on negative events. It serves as a therapeutic process, providing support and guidance, and is perfect for those who wish to regain composure and storm back to life.

Services Offered: Flexible Counselling Solutions

At Lifestorm Counselling, I offer a range of services designed to suit your unique needs and preferences:

• Online Counselling: Access counselling services from the comfort of your home via video call or telephone.
• Therapy Outdoors: For those who prefer the great outdoors, I provide a 'walk and talk' option, offering fresh air and exercise as part of the therapeutic process.
