Trauma
A traumatic event occurs when someone is in a situation where there is a risk of harm or danger to themselves or other people. Situations like this are usually frightening or cause overwhelming stress. In such situations, people feel helpless. There are many events in our lives which may cause trauma such as bereavement, loss, accidents, personal assault. I can help you understand the feelings and effects of trauma and support your recovery.
Loss
Coping with the loss of someone or something you love is one of life’s biggest challenges. Grief is the normal process of reacting to a loss. The more significant the loss, the more intense your grief. Loss can include the death of a person or pet, loss of physical health, a relationship breakdown or loss of a job. There are many reactions to grief which can include anger, guilt, anxiety, sadness, despair, headaches and problems sleeping. I can help you come to terms with your loss and cope with the pain.
Anxiety
Anxiety can affect people in many different ways. For some people it is a constant feeling of fear and worry about ‘what if….’ Anxiety can cause many physical symptoms such as shaking and sickness and it can become completely debilitating. Using CBT, I can help you manage the negative thoughts and feelings that anxiety can cause.
Stress
A reasonable amount of stress can be useful to us by driving us forward but not if it becomes overwhelming. Symptoms of stress can include feeling irritable or wound up, racing thoughts and having difficulty sleeping or making decisions. Counselling can offer you a different perspective on your life and help you how manage stress differently in the future.
