Firstborn Wellness
Today is the day.
You may have reached the end of your tether.
You know if there’s just one more day of this…
That things cannot go on the way they are.
You want to be able to understand and explain the life events that are impacting you right now.
You might be finding yourself affected by things in ways you didn’t expect and you, yourself might be behaving in way you had been trying to avoid your whole life.
You may have had counselling before and now want to experience something a little different.
You might be brand new to the process and want to find out how counselling can help you.
Whatever obstacles it is that you face-I am here to help you.

COUNSELLOR
My focus is domestic abuse.
the effects of abuse in the home are varied but include:
attachment disruptions
boundary issues.
anger issues
assertiveness issues
learning difficulties
and more.
One of the other key issues around domestic violence, especially parent-to-child violence, is secrecy.
Children are often conditioned to say nothing about what is happening to them behind closed doors so the abused go unreported.
It is only in adult life that many find the strength and courage to face those lifelong issues.
If you are one of those persons-I am here to help you.
How can I help you?
My approach is person-centred and psychodynamic and also underpinned by attachment and ecotherapy.
a number of approaches but firstly I will believe you, I will listen to you and I will help you find the best way for you to heal yourself.
We may talk about versions of you that are younger and I will help you in the present to meet your unmet needs from the past.
Ecotherapy?
The outdoors is an important factor in my work, some clients feel better about being outside rather than in a building where they may be overheard.
The natural environment has less psychological demand, allowing you to breathe and for the nervous system to regulate itself a little better.
