About me and my therapy practice

Because you are important and you matter. Your pain, hurt and challenges are personal to you. I will support you without pressure and judgement, with compassion, full respect, acceptance and with the kind warmth you deserve. 

- I truly believe that you have done your best to cope and survive so far and the evidence is - you are here.

Hi,

My name is Sanna and I am Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor. 

I offer online and face to face counselling for individuals in a safe, confidential, quiet and calm environment.

I truly understand how difficult it is to cope with life challenges. I do not want you to feel that you are alone with your worries and distress.

I will help you to find the answers that you need and are looking for to achieve a life that is more satisfying. I believe that counselling can help release your burdens, unlock your potential and restore hope for a balanced future. I believe in the possibility for change and healing in a therapeutic relationship, because I have witnessed it many times.

(Other area of counselling I work with which is not listed "what I can help section further below) : 

I feel huge compassion working with survivors of domestic abuse (including narcissistic abuse). I truly understand the complex nature and dynamics of abusive relationship and especially about trauma bond, which can linger for a long time after leaving an abusive partner. Feeling safe again and healing from abusive relationship is possible ! 

Practice description

You may already know the reasons why you are looking for counselling support or...

You may have experienced something that has left you feeling like you are struggling to cope. You may have "a sense that something is missing and something does not feel right, maybe you have lost your confidence and have low self-esteem, you feel anxious, depressed and you worry all the time" Or, does life just feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable, complicated and even messy? You may have trouble with relationships. Maybe you feel that everyone relies on you but no-one thinks about what you may need? You just want things to be somehow different, but not sure how. Do you feel burdened by pain and struggles that just do not seem to pass, and not know how to change things for the better so that you do feel happier?

Sitting with this on your own can worsen how you feel especially if you are unable to share your issues with friends and family or maybe they just do not seem to understand you and opening up has left you feeling judged or even to feel that you are burden on others.

I believe, not knowing is a good place to start and any change can feel very scary. I will help you to unpack and understand the emotional package that can feel so heavy on you.

I believe from my experience that investing in you may be the best decision you will ever make. Many clients have told me that through the counselling process, they have got to know themselves and understand all their parts better and gained more confidence to trust their own strengths and abilities to make their own choices. Clients often realise that "There is nothing wrong with me... I feel like this, because what has happened to me!" I believe when your relationship improves with yourself, the rest will start to follow.

My first session

What counselling will be like with me? (During first session and every session after)

I will respond to you with compassion accompanied with full respect, warmth, kindness, empathy and acceptance. I promise that you will meet an authentic me, and my attitude to you is one of total acceptance of you now - not simply what you may desire and might become.

My full focus is always you and your total wellbeing and I want to support you to achieve the outcome that you deserve. As our relationship develops and you feel comfortable and at ease with me, I believe that exploring and expressing yourself freely with me, will be a powerful way to move beyond hurt. I will welcome you to share whatever is creating pain, discomfort or suffering for you - no matter how dark your thoughts and feelings may be.

We will work at your pace and in a way that suits you, and work with issues that you want to focus on. Facing difficult emotions can be very scary, especially if we do not understand where they come from, what they try to tell us and how to manage them. I promise to help you to understand them ! 

Together we will make sense of and understand how your life experiences and beliefs may have influenced how you feel about yourself and your life. Together, we will figure out helpful ways to manage and tolerate discomfort, navigate relationships and ease your pain.

I work from my heart and I have been described as "a gentle soul". 

I have not met you yet and already I admire your courage to seek counselling help. Maybe I can be the person who you decide to invite in to your life to help you to connect the dots together to live the life that you deserve.

When you feel ready to take the first step towards feeling better and more in control of your life, I welcome you to contact me either by phone, text, or email so we can schedule our first session and give you hope to start feeling better.
