About me and my therapy practice
Life can feel overwhelming at times. Things might look fine on the outside, while inwardly you're feeling lost, sad, lonely, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself.
Maybe something in your life has become difficult to carry. You might be grieving someone who has died, struggling in a relationship, dealing with a change you didn't expect, or finding that something from your past has come back to the surface.
Or perhaps there isn't one obvious reason. You might be hard on yourself in ways other people don't see, question your decisions, worry about getting things wrong, or find criticism difficult to shake off. You may be used to putting other people's feelings first, while struggling to know what you feel, need or want.
Sometimes earlier experiences and relationships become part of this too. Difficult relationships with parents or siblings, bullying, loss, illness, feeling different or not belonging may have affected how you learnt to cope, adapt or protect yourself. And sometimes childhood looked perfectly fine from the outside, yet there were feelings or needs that had very little room.
How therapy can help
Therapy gives you somewhere to be honest about how things really feel, without needing to have everything worked out first.
Together, we can explore what's happening in your life now, make room for feelings that may have been difficult to express elsewhere, and notice the patterns that keep pulling you back into familiar ways of responding.
Over time, therapy can help you trust yourself and your feelings more, be less harsh with yourself, feel more able to express what you need, and respond differently when old patterns show up. It can also give you space to grieve what you've lost, adjust to changes you didn't choose, and begin finding a way forward that feels more your own.
Practice description
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 — 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.
I draw on trauma-informed, relational, body-based and parts-based approaches, bringing 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.
My first session
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.
