Adult counselling and therapy

In therapy, we see grief as any "significant loss" - this includes the loss of a relationship, job, receiving a medical diagnosis that changes your future, and more. Therapy can help unpack these complex life changes and provide a space to process this loss.

We are all supposed to grieve the death of someone we love, the pain we feel is a natural response to a significant gap in our lives. There are many reasons this "gap" becomes unbearable, therapy can help you process this pain and find what is at the centre of it.

 Trauma can be many things to many people, and it isn't just about what happened to you. It's how those experiences continue to echo in your daily life. Whether it's a single overwhelming event or years of chronic stress, trauma can leave you feeling disconnected, on edge or trapped in old thinking patterns. 

Chronic stress can shrink your capacity to enjoy life, relationships, and achievements. If you find yourself constantly overwhelmed, dreading the start of the week, or feeling disconnected from the things you used to love, these are burnout red flags.

 Anxiety can be exhausting. It's the constant static in your mind, the endless loop of worst cases, and that heaviness in your chest. 

Anxiety is not a character flaw, it's an over-protective nervous system trying to protect you from perceived danger. 

Our relationships shape the quality of our lives, but they can also be a source of stress. Find yourself trapped in a cycle of pleasing, struggling to set boundaries, or falling into anxiety spirals about your relationships? Your relationship patterns do not have to be permanent. 

When emotional pain becomes too heavy, the mind and body find other ways to cope.

Here, you never have to hide your pain or dark thoughts, and you never have to apologise for them. We can work together without judgement to find healthier ways to cope 

Suicide isn't a big scary word at FOFC. We're here to provide you a space where you can say all the scary thoughts out loud. We will work with you to process what's behind the thoughts and safety plan for the really bad moments.

As adults we can sometimes lose a sense of who we are, and start to be the titles we are given. Mum, Dad, carer, staff member, we lose sight of who we were as individuals. Therapy can help us remember the parts of us that make us feel most "us", and refocus on what we want from life.
