Living a life of meaning, purpose & integrity - Lost your Mojo? Feel an emptiness inside?
Life is precious and short and therefore there isn’t a minute to waste.
Happiness is often derived from knowing who you really are and living a life of integrity and with a clear sense of meaning and purpose.
Our sense of meaning is the knowledge that we truly make a difference, that we are needed, important and that our lives count for something. A person’s sense of purpose is the determination to act in ways that are consistent with our sense of meaning and that are consistent with the knowledge that we truly do make a difference.
To live a life of integrity you first have to know who you are (not hide or suppress parts of yourself e.g. mask wearing, people pleasing) and be true to yourself, respect and value yourself, find the courage to accept that not everyone is going to like you or your choices, speak your truth, be honest with yourself and others, respect yours and others’ rights, feel whole and unhampered by past baggage.
'He who has a why to live for can be almost any how’
Friedrich Nietzsche.
Sometimes clients say to me that despite money, holidays, love, great jobs and friendships they still feel an emptiness inside. Or that at some point in their lives they have lost their mojo, drive, excitement about life and very often when I ask them what their Meaning and Purpose is, they answer – I don’t know. We help you find out what yours is and how to live your life with true integrity too.
Help Counselling with True Freedom
How we can help
Therapeutic Counselling will help you to get to the root of these sometimes painful and/or confusing feelings and beliefs and why you feel and do what you do, it will help you make sense of what has happened to you and also help you safely release any painful feelings and often out of date or misinformed limiting beliefs safely once and for all. An advantage of Therapeutic Counselling is that once the work is done you will no longer need to have counselling again.
Using expertise, tools, experience and insight as a professional qualified Counsellor drawn from over 10 years of success with clients we know the right questions to ask you, really listen and learn all about you and your life and then we use special tools and techniques best tailored to your situation and personality to help you draw out the answers and understand what has happened to you and why you feel and behave the way you do now.
Your counselling will identify what is getting in the way of your happiness and help you to safely release those painful feelings and get rid of those limiting beliefs which are colouring your perception of yourself, others and the world around so that you can move forwards, feeling happy inside, know who you are, feel calm, confident, in control and have the life you really want.

You will be encouraged to take ownership in the process so in time when you feel ready to go it on your own again you will no longer need the Therapist or any other Counsellor again.
Clients have fed back that online sessions were surprisingly just as personal a feeling as face to face, with no travel costs or time is taken up and can fit around your busy lifestyle or time zone with more appointment flexibility at short notice. The therapy goes at your pace and the number of sessions will vary according to your needs but as soon as you feel you have achieved what we agreed then formal sessions will come to an end and maintenance sessions are available on an ad hoc basis if clients wish whilst they are starting their new lives.
A dread I have is that clients might think I would keep them attending longer than they need but I take pride in saying I have never done this my whole career and often I am the first to say – ‘Do you know I feel you are ready to do this on your own now. I think you are ready." Honesty, integrity and trust are my top three personal values. - Sarah Cunliffe

Case Study – Jack (name changed)
Jack a successful business man in his early 40’s dialled into an early morning initial consultation with me and rather shame faced sadly confessed that he felt he’d lost his way, no longer found his job brought him excitement and fulfilment and that his family no longer seemed to need him. He felt worthless yet he felt guilty expressing it. After all, he had a loving wife, family and had earned himself a decent income to afford a comfortable lifestyle. I explained to him about the importance of having a Meaning and Purpose and we explored what had changed in his life for him to feel this way.
Once the main breadwinner, provider, father and entrepreneur he felt needed, valued, respected, successful in providing but as the years passed he realised his children no longer needed him so much, his wife was often out with her friends or doing her hobbies and the business pretty much ran itself so he no longer saw what value he was bringing or what was the point of what he was doing. We agreed that his meaning and purpose needed re-defining in order to find new fulfilment, direction and happiness again.
We explored his strengths and what his passions had been before the children came along. We removed the dust sheets on things he used to enjoy and new things too. I helped him to identify some limiting beliefs he had about himself and this new self-awareness freed him up to consider other new life goals.
He particularly enjoyed having some time for himself to speak openly about his feelings without consequence. Finally, we looked at how he and his wife could create some new joint goals now that the children were growing up and this ignited a new excitement and closer bond between them as a couple.
