Welcome to Hope Over Fears
I wonder what brought you to this site? Are you struggling with persistent and intense feelings such as sadness, anxiety, anger, panic, low self-esteem? Maybe your problem is that you can’t feel, that there is a sense of numbness and disconnection. Perhaps life has thrown something at you which feels unbearable, a bereavement, the loss of a close relationship, or divorce. Maybe, all that you counted on for your stability, has simply dissolved away.
Brief counselling for specific problems and longer-term psychotherapy for more complex difficulties can offer you a process leading to a better understanding of yourself and improved relationships with others.
My overarching aim is to provide a safe, confidential, empathic relationship which decreases emotional suffering by helping you to find your way through to a more fulfilled and balanced experience of yourself and your life.
I am a friendly, experienced counsellor who uses evidence-based therapies tailored to your individual needs. Currently sessions are online via Zoom or What’s App and in person in Heathfield.
