MH Counselling & Therapy Durham

About Counselling & Therapy

I work with individuals encountering a range of challenges, including persistent anxiety, feelings of sadness, struggles with self-worth, overwhelming stress, and significant life changes.

I also provide sessions for those seeking personal growth to find a clearer sense of direction or experience greater fulfilment in life.

Counselling and therapy provide you with the opportunity to work on:

• Making sense of your experiences.

• Uncovering your inner resources.

• Actively pursuing positive change.

• Building resilience.

• Moving forward with an increased sense of well-being.

Counselling for students and university staff

Academic life comes with its own unique set of pressures and challenges. Whether you're dealing with stress and burnout or struggling with self-doubt and low self-esteem, therapy might be the help you need to regain balance and confidence. With prior experience working at Durham University, I have insight into the common issues faced by students and staff at academic institutions.
