What it is

Counselling for people experiencing ongoing worry, low mood, or a sense of hopelessness—especially where past experiences make these feelings stronger. Support is practical, paced with you, and focused on what helps in daily life.

Trauma-informed approach

Anxiety and depression can be linked with, or intensified by, traumatic experiences. The work is gentle and respectful. We aim to:

• Offer a non-judgemental space where you set the pace

• Use grounding and present-focused strategies when emotions feel intense

• Build on your strengths and what is already helping, rather than only focusing on problems

We do not push into painful memories before you have enough safety and choice.

Client experience

Sessions are mainly by telehealth. You choose what you share and how fast you go. Work may include understanding triggers, practising coping skills (for example grounding, breathing, or simple routines), and finding ways to reduce how much anxiety or low mood runs the day.

Tools such as mindfulness or journaling are offered as options if they suit you—not as a fixed programme.

Outcomes

People often work toward:

• More ways to manage difficult days

• Reduced intensity or frequency of overwhelming worry or low mood

• Greater confidence in handling mental health day to day

Progress is individual. There is no single timeline.
