Hi and Welcome to 'The Tattooed Counsellor'
Have you become stuck in life, not knowing which way to turn next or who you can talk to ?
Is life feeling something like this?
- Do you currently feel Stressed, Sad, Upset, Angry, Worried or Isolated in your life right now?
- Are you finding your relationships becoming strained, breaking down and struggling to communicate?
- Do you find it difficult to voice your feelings / opinions or to even understand what you need right now?
- Are you feeling on edge or simply confused with life right now?
When we feel like this everything can seem really hard, and we may over-think our problems causing them to grow bigger in our minds and become more unmanageable by the day.
It may be that our past experiences are influencing our present actions and behaviours and we feel stuck in a repetitive cycle which we simply can't seem to understand or make sense of.
It may be that we are aware that things need to change in our lives but we simply keep holding ourselves back via our thoughts that give us every reason not to change.
If this feels a little like what you may be experiencing, it may be that you simply need a non-judgemental space in which you can explore these thoughts and feelings in ways that offers you reflective feedback.
Maybe talking to someone can help support you whilst you:
- Explore what the problems or issues are.
- Find awareness and come to understand the underlying issues and what changes may need to happen,
- Examine you options and what choices you may have in a no-nonsense approach.
When things go wrong in our lives, it may be difficult to talk about these things with those closest to us, for fear of being judged, being a burden, being accepted, or simply because we know they will agree with us, and as such what we really want is an open, honest and truthful response, even if its not what we want to hear.
I work with both adults and young people to support better communication within relationships, to support better self-esteem, self-awareness and reconnecting individuals to themselves and those around them, ultimately empowering YOU to live your best life.
I also support individuals to become more comfortable in the discomfort of things (this is the definition of confidence) by facing or recognising our fears and then exploring ways in which we can improve this. For many people change is scary and will often require having to do things differently, which will mean stepping outside our comfort zone, (or dis-comfort zone) whilst also acknowledging that things can still go wrong, but this is where growth and happiness are found and improved.
It takes courage to come into counselling, often having a mirror held up to you, for you to face what you may have been avoiding needing to deal with for various periods of time. But simply by visiting this page today you are already recognising and understanding that things in your life need to change and are thus already taking the first steps in what has probably been something that has been nagging at you for a long while now.
If any of this resonates with you, then you are in the right place and please feel free to reach out, even if for an initial free phone consultation.
