Life can feel overwhelming at times. Things might look fine on the outside, while inwardly you're feeling lost, stuck, lonely, or unsure of who you really are anymore.

The parts we learn to hide

Perhaps from an early age, you heard you were “too sensitive” or “too emotional”. You started to believe your feelings weren’t okay and learned to hide or keep them quiet. Perhaps you were praised for being mature for your age or for being the “good” child. You learned to read the room and became an expert at noticing other people’s moods. This could mean not receiving comfort when you were upset, struggling to express feelings that weren’t accepted, or doing everything possible to avoid making a mistake.

Perhaps these ways of relating feel like part of who you are. Difficult experiences growing up — complicated relationships with parents or siblings, friendships, bullying, school, loss, illness, or feeling like you don’t quite fit in — may have left their mark. Or perhaps nothing obviously difficult happened, yet you still struggle to trust how you feel, doubt yourself and your decisions, and don’t know what you want from life or who you are underneath all the “shoulds” and expectations.

When life shifts

Or something more recent may have unsettled your sense of who you are. Someone you love has died, a relationship has fractured, a hoped-for future is no longer possible, or another change has divided life into a before and after.

Grief can bring sadness, anger, guilt, relief, numbness or feelings that are difficult to make sense of. Perhaps you were functioning surprisingly well but now it feels impossible to continue as you were. Other relationships may have changed too, and you’re struggling to know where to look for support.

When familiar parts of life change, old roles and ways of coping that once helped can stop working in the same way. It can feel as though you’ve lost your ability to function as you normally would, making it difficult to imagine a way forward.

Working with you, not fitting you into a box

Every person who comes to therapy is different, so the way we work together should be too. Working holistically, I’m curious about your whole experience — not only what you think, but what you feel, what you notice in your body, the patterns you find yourself repeating, and even the things you sense but can’t quite find words for yet.

Drawing on trauma-informed, relational, body-based and parts-based approaches. I bring in what fits for you, rather than asking you to fit a particular approach. 

Sometimes our work might take us back to earlier relationships or experiences and what you learnt about yourself, your feelings and your needs. At other times, we might slow something down and notice what’s happening in the moment, get curious about a part of you that’s reacting strongly or automatically, or use metaphor or creativity to explore something that doesn’t quite have words yet.

I’m not a blank-slate therapist. I’ll be alongside you in the work — sharing what I notice, asking questions, gently challenging where it might be helpful, and sometimes bringing humour into the room too.

Therapy doesn’t usually lead to one big lightbulb moment. More often, you begin to notice a series of smaller, less obvious shifts. Over time, that might mean noticing your own needs sooner, trusting your feelings without immediately questioning them, or recognising an old pattern while there’s still space to respond differently. Together, these small shifts can leave you feeling more connected to yourself and more present in your own life.

If something here resonates and you’re curious about what working together might look like, you’re very welcome to get in touch to book a free 15-minute telephone consultation. This gives us a chance to see how it feels to connect, talk briefly about what’s bringing you to therapy, and for you to ask any questions you might have.

If it feels like a good fit and we decide to work together, in our first session I’ll invite you to share what’s brought you to therapy and what feels most present for you right now — this can be clear, messy or uncertain. There’s no expectation to know exactly what to say or where to begin, and you don’t need to prepare anything in advance.

Our first session gives us a chance to begin getting to know each other and for me to understand more about what’s happening for you, what has brought you to therapy now, and what you’re hoping might feel different by the end of our work together.
