Counselling for burnt out, neurodiverse and queer people
​
Offering a space to redefine yourself
outside of the predetermined social scripts
Are You Feeling Lost?
Life is like a long voyage at sea, with opposing forces pulling at you and leaving you lost.
Perhaps you reflect on your life and you don't know how you got here. You feel like you fell into a life that was decided for you, one that you felt obliged to follow. Your day to day is dictated by 'shoulds' and 'musts' with little to no autonomy or time for yourself. And you feel exhausted.
Perhaps you are exploring your gender identity and sexuality (maybe not for the first time) and struggling to find what these mean to you. On top of your own struggles you feel like you are constantly dealing with how people react to you, in their eyes, falling short of being gay/bi/trans/queer 'enough'. Or you feel unprepared and stressed about sex because no one took the time to talk about this with you.
Perhaps you feel disconnected from your body. You get surprised by sudden emotional breakdowns that seemingly come from nowhere. You are stuck in the state of alertness, not knowing how to soothe your racing mind, overwhelmed emotions and overstimulated body. Or you feel numb and distant, unable to connect with any emotion or sensation in your body. You feel like a shell of a person moving from one place to the next with little purpose or meaning.
At the core of it all you feel lost in all that the world expects of you, who you are, what is meaningful to you and what you need.
About Me
Hello, my name is Azbel (they/them). I am an integrative counsellor, registered with the BACP, offering open ended counselling in London and Online.
​Over the years I felt lost too, and at times still need to pull myself out of the deep waters. I've also seen the struggle and the transformation that my clients have gone through as they learned to navigate their lives more intentionally and authentically, and so can you.
From personal and professional experience I know how difficult it can be to feel lost in your life, what it takes to weather these storms and how to give yourself moments to rest, reflect and find yourself again.
This is Where We Find a New Way Forward
