I specialise in working with people (expat/immigrant backgrounds) who are struggling with navigating life, it could be because of different: cultures, values, traditions, beliefs, expectations, or needs within family, spiritual community, social circle, modern society, work and within yourself.
This can cause the following feelings of being overwhelmed, feeling lost, not knowing who you are, negative thoughts and self talk, comparing ourselves with others, people pleasing, self judgement, self blame, lack of boundaries, unable to be an advocate for yourself, and/or trust issues.
Counselling can help you work through and manage these feelings, thoughts and experiences. Find relief and a way forward.
Counselling is where you can explore personal difficulties in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental and supportive space. Sometimes it's helpful to speak to someone outside your personal circle. I am here to listen and understand, create a space for you to be seen, heard and process what is going on for you, support you in understanding yourself and situation better.
Starting therapy can be quite scary for some people and having to open up to a stranger, but you will be in control and go at your own pace during the sessions.
With compassion and curiosity we will explore how your family, parents, main carers, siblings, past experiences, and upbringing have shaped your current values, self-beliefs, perceptions, behaviours and thought patterns.
You will be supported in becoming aware of these aspects, clearer understanding of them and unpacking the feelings that come up. Leading to insight into your present situation, to challenge unhelpful perceptions, thought patterns, behaviours and core beliefs. This process can foster growth and lead to positive change in your life.
I can help you have a healthier relationship with yourself, enabling trust and self-confidence. Ultimately, becoming and feeling more whole and empowered as a human being.
If you are ready to change for the better, I would love to support you on your personal growth journey!
