Issues for counselling

You can consult me for advice, counselling or treatment of:

depressive complaints, gloom, loneliness or guilt feelings
stress symptoms because of problems at home, work, school, college, in a personal relationship
nervous exhaustion, burnout
low self-esteem
anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, hyperventilation
shyness, fear of social contact
trauma resulting from a shocking experience
coping with bereavement and grief
problems in a personal relationship (both partners or individually)
questions of identity
adapting to life's changes, stages in life
counselling during chronic and/or serious illness
unexplained physical symptoms

My personal experience working with some of these conditions:

Stress, anxiety and depression have significant physical symptoms, restlessness, agitation, tiredness. Cognitive therapy and working with your body can both help.

With burnout, I initially emphasise a phase of achieving calm, by focussing on structure, relaxation and identifying your limits, before embarking on further therapy, which may itself impose a strain on the client. I provide support and structure and investigate how a client can avoid losing control. Only then can cognitive therapy be employed to explore the causes and experiment with new behavioural patterns.

I have attended postgraduate courses in working with psychological trauma and grief. Those subjects are often intertwined. In cases of trauma, clients often also experience feelings of grief at the loss of physical intactness, unconstrained lifestyle or expectations. In cases of grief involving very sudden loss of a loved one or the occurrence of a physical handicap, there is commonly also a period of shock. Shock does not necessarily become a psychological trauma. Above all it is important that a person continues to follow his or her own healing impulses; these are different for every individual. People often need help to give these impulses room to work.

I came into personal contact with serious illness when my husband was diagnosed with cancer. I have seen and experienced the consequences of illness for an individual and his surroundings. Since then I have been better able to offer counsel to clients in such a phase of their life which can generate a major - and positive - revolution in their thinking. Very often there is initially a condition of shock, while at the same time decisions must be made. I can support and advise partners and family members, who are often trying to sustain two lives at the same time.
