One barrier to getting started can sometimes be uncertainty around what presenting issues or focus areas are deemed "suitable" for therapy. Therefore,  it could be helpful to take a look at some of the most common presenting problems and focus areas clients have brought to therapy with me:
​​

• Feeling low

• Depression

• Anxiety 

• Panic attacks

• Moving on from a relationship breakdown

• Healing following a traumatic experience

• Making sense of childhood experiences

• Grief following the loss of a loved one

• Struggling with loneliness

• Work related difficulties

• Relationship difficulties

• Family issues

• Managing stress

• Low self-confidence

• Low self-esteem

• Finding a healthy work-life balance

• Feeling lost in life and lacking direction

• Lacking motivation

• Managing a stressful life transition/event

• Existential issues

​

The list is simply intended to provide you with an idea of the wide range of presenting difficulties and focus areas that can be addressed in therapy.
