IS THIS WORK FOR YOU?

The people I work with are often capable, thoughtful and functioning well in many areas of their lives.

They may have successful careers, relationships, families and full lives. They are not necessarily looking for therapy because everything has fallen apart.

More often, something simply isn’t working as well as it used to.

You may recognise yourself in some of this:

• You are capable and responsible, but increasingly exhausted by how much you carry.
• You function well, but it takes more effort than you would like.
• You keep finding yourself in similar relationships, situations or emotional experiences and wonder why.
• You understand yourself well, but that understanding has not necessarily changed the way you respond.
• You have done therapy before and don’t particularly want to tell your whole story again.
• You are tired of managing yourself and would like something to actually shift.
• You struggle to switch off or relax.
• You feel constantly “on”, as though part of you is always braced for what might go wrong.
• You feel easily overwhelmed by situations that previously felt manageable.
• You feel responsible for too much or too many people.
• Your life looks successful, but does not feel as satisfying or alive as you expected.
• You feel stuck, restless, disconnected or unsure what you want next.
• You are going through a relationship change, loss, career transition or significant turning point.
• You are experiencing stress or burnout and know something about the way you are living needs to change.
• You want more ease in your relationships and more freedom in how you respond.
• You are ready to move beyond simply understanding your history.

You do not have to be in crisis

You don’t need to think of yourself as traumatised, broken or mentally unwell.

Sometimes the reason for coming to therapy is much simpler:

“I don’t want to keep experiencing my life this way.”

You may want more vitality. More enjoyment. Better relationships. Greater confidence in your choices. Less guilt and responsibility for everyone else. More room to discover what you actually want.

Sometimes you simply know there is another way you would like to be living, even if you cannot yet articulate what that looks like.

This work may particularly suit you if...

You are curious about yourself and willing to look honestly at what is happening, but you don’t want therapy to become another exercise in finding everything that is wrong with you.

You are open to working beyond cognition alone, including the body, nervous system, emotions, relationships, family dynamics and the deeper adaptations that may still be influencing your experience.

And you want to work with someone who is actually human.

Someone who does not sit above you or assume she knows your life better than you do.

I see the therapeutic relationship as a partnership. Two human beings looking together at what is happening, with honesty, curiosity, warmth and compassion.

We work together.

You are not looking for another person to tell you how to live your life.

You are looking for someone who can sit beside you, help you understand what is shaping it, and support you in creating more freedom to decide for yourself.
