Sarah Hughes Counselling Service

Description

Problems like depression, anger, worry and anxiety can affect anyone and make it hard to know how to move forward in life. I work with people to see how these problems (and others like them) have influenced your life and your relationships.
I ask questions to help generate ideas on how you want to move forward in ways that fit your life and your values. I help people connect to their own stories in ways that help them have new perspective and new ideas. We work together to look at ways to strengthen skills that are already known to you. I work with individuals, couples and families in response to: • anxiety and panic • relationship issues • grief, loss and sadness • struggles with anger • issues around drug and alcohol use • depression • the effects of abuse and trauma • chronic illness I have training in many ways of working with people and I collaborate with each person to find a way that fits for you. I am very influenced by ideas of Narrative Therapy. This is a therapy model that is based on the idea that we live our lives through stories, the meanings we create and we have many stories of who we are. Through therapeutic conversations, we develop your preferred stories and move towards problems having less influence. Contact me today to book a consultation.
