Beyond The Surface
Counselling for Chronic Conditions and Skin Conditions
Because living with a chronic condition can affect so much more than your physical health.
Welcome to Beyond The Surface
Maybe your skin or health condition has changed the way you see yourself. Maybe youโve noticed a shift in your confidence, relationships, identity or how comfortable you feel in your own body. Or perhaps youโre simply exhausted from managing something that other people canโt always see or understand.
You might find yourself grieving the life you had before, feeling frustrated by your symptoms, struggling with your confidence, or having days where you just donโt feel like yourself. Sometimes, the hardest part can be feeling like nobody really understands the emotional impact of it all.
Beyond the Surface is a space to talk about those parts too.
This work is particularly personal to me because I have lived with chronic eczema and topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) myself. Through my own experience, I understand how a chronic condition can impact so many parts of life, affecting how you feel about yourself, your confidence, your relationships and your everyday experiences.
You donโt have to minimise what youโre going through or pretend that youโre okay. There is space here for everything that sits beyond the surface.
You donโt have to carry it all on your own
If youโve found yourself relating to what Iโve shared and feel like it might be helpful to have someone alongside you, Iโd love to hear from you.
You donโt need to know exactly what you want to talk about, and you donโt need to have the right words. Sometimes simply knowing that you want things to feel a little different is enough to start.
I offer a free 20-minute introductory call where we can have a relaxed chat, you can tell me a little about whatโs been going on for you, and you can ask any questions you may have. Thereโs no pressure to book. Itโs simply a chance for us to see how it feels to talk together.
