BSL Counselling Mood, Identity & Self-Worth Counselling Near King’s Lynn

When You Feel Low, Lost or Disconnected From Yourself

There are times when life can feel heavy without a clear explanation. You might feel persistently low, emotionally flat, restless, self-critical or unsure of who you are becoming. Perhaps anxiety hums in the background, or motivation has slowly faded.

Sometimes this shows up as:

Ongoing low mood
Loss of interest or energy
Self-doubt or harsh inner criticism
Feeling “not good enough”
Anxiety that feels hard to switch off
Questioning your identity or direction
Suicidal thoughts without wanting to act on them

I offer counselling near King’s Lynn for adults experiencing low mood, identity struggles and difficulties with self-worth. I work with clients across West Norfolk and Norwich, as well as online across the UK.

Therapy provides space to explore not only symptoms, but the deeper emotional patterns beneath them.

Depression & Emotional Numbness

Depression does not always look dramatic. It can feel like:

Exhaustion
Irritability
Emotional disconnection
Loss of meaning
Feeling stuck or behind in life

In therapy, we explore contributing factors gently — whether relational history, trauma, burnout or chronic stress — and work towards gradual reconnection and stability.

Anxiety & Internal Pressure

Although anxiety is common, it often sits alongside deeper patterns of self-criticism, fear of failure, or difficulty tolerating uncertainty.

You may experience:

Constant mental overthinking
Physical tension
Fear of making mistakes
Avoidance of certain situations
Needing reassurance

Rather than only managing symptoms, we explore the emotional drivers behind anxiety and build steadier regulation skills.

Self-Worth, Shame & Identity

Persistent shame or low self-esteem can shape how you see yourself and how you move through the world.

You may:

Compare yourself constantly
Struggle to recognise strengths
Feel like an impostor
Hide parts of yourself
Feel unsure who you really are

Therapy offers a space to understand how these beliefs developed and to build a more stable sense of identity.

Suicidal Thoughts & Emotional Overwhelm

Sometimes emotional distress becomes so intense that thoughts of suicide arise. These thoughts are often a sign of deep overwhelm rather than a desire to die.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, therapy provides a confidential and supportive space to talk openly and safely. Where risk is significant, we will discuss appropriate support and safety planning.

If you are in immediate danger, please contact emergency services or a crisis helpline.

My Approach

My work is integrative and trauma-informed. We focus on:

Emotional stabilisation
Understanding underlying patterns
Reducing shame
Strengthening internal safety
Building sustainable coping strategies

Change is often gradual. Therapy offers consistency and reflection rather than quick fixes.
