Symply Being Counselling Service
A safe space to reflect,
heal and grow.
Parenting can be one of life’s greatest joys and one of its most challenging tasks. On some days, you may feel exhausted, anxious, or disconnected. And even if you're not a parent, life can still bring its own stresses and struggles; you don't have to face them alone.
At Symply Being, you’ll find a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space to share what’s really going on. Whether you’re a new parent adjusting to sleepless nights, a single parent balancing it all, co-parenting after separation, raising teenagers, or simply an individual navigating life’s ups and downs, this space is yours.
A place to grow and simply be
What I offer
All counselling sessions are online via Zoom, giving you flexible, confidential support wherever you are.
Sessions are 50 minutes and tailored to your needs; whether you want short-term support or long-term space to grow.
Together, we can explore:
● Stress, anxiety, or burnout.
● Low mood, overwhelm, or loss of confidence.
● Relationship struggles with partners, children, or family.
● Parenting challenges, from early years through teenage transitions.
● Past experiences affecting your present.
● Reconnecting with yourself and your sense of balance.
Counselling isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about giving you the room to breathe, reflect, and find your own way forward.
Why Symply Being?
Because you matter too.
Many parents put themselves last while caring for everyone else. People navigating life’s challenges often feel like they’re carrying the weight of the world alone. But needing support doesn’t mean you’re failing; it simply means you’re human.
When you feel calmer, clearer, and more confident, the change extends into everything around you. Your children benefit, your relationships thrive, and you feel more aligned with who you are. Whether you're raising children or walking your own path, releasing stress and stepping into your strength can be truly life-changing.
Symply Being is here to walk alongside you as you rediscover confidence, clarity, and calm.
Support within reach
I believe counselling should be accessible. That’s why the cost of sessions is flexible and depends on your circumstances.
After your initial assessment, we’ll discuss your financial options together and agree on a fee that feels affordable for you.
Because support should never feel out of reach.

Meet Abena
I am a BACP-registered counsellor, offering support through a person-centred approach.
I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside parents in many different situations, and I know how easy it is to feel like you’re carrying the world on your shoulders. While I’m particularly passionate about supporting parents, I also work with non-parents, offering support tailored to your unique circumstances.
My practice is built on warmth, compassion, and respect.
I welcome people of all genders, races, and cultural backgrounds, offering a safe and confidential space where you can feel heard and understood.
Together, we’ll explore the experiences that matter to you and work towards growth, resilience, and well-being.
My role isn’t to judge or lecture, it’s to walk beside you with empathy, warmth, and respect for your unique story.
