Areas I Can Help With
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You might be experiencing relationship difficulties, struggling with your sense of self, or noticing familiar patterns affecting your life in ways you don't fully understand.
You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Sometimes, it's simply about having a space to pause, explore what's happening and begin to make sense of your experiences.
Relationships and connection
Our relationships can have a significant impact on how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. You may be navigating relationship difficulties, the effects of betrayal, family challenges, or feelings of loneliness and disconnection.
Therapy can offer a space to explore these experiences, understand what matters to you in your relationships, and consider how you might want to move forward.
Anxiety, stress and emotional wellbeing
You may be experiencing anxiety, social anxiety, low mood, stress or feeling overwhelmed by everyday life. Perhaps you're finding it difficult to switch off, feeling under pressure, or struggling with confidence and self-esteem.
Therapy can offer time and space to explore what may be contributing to these feelings, understand your responses and develop a greater sense of self-awareness and compassion.
Attachment and relational patterns
Our early experiences and relationships can shape how we connect with others, how safe we feel in relationships, and how we understand ourselves. Sometimes patterns that once helped us cope can become difficult or limiting in adult life.
I'm particularly interested in attachment and how these experiences can continue to influence us. Together, we can gently explore where certain patterns may have come from, how they show up in your life today, and whether there may be different ways of relating to yourself and others.
Life changes, loss and difficult experiences
Life can bring experiences that leave us feeling uncertain, unsettled or alone. This might include bereavement, pet loss, infertility, childlessness not by choice, changes within the family, or challenging experiences at work.
You may be carrying feelings that are difficult to talk about, or finding that an experience is affecting you in ways you hadn't expected. Therapy can provide a supportive space to acknowledge and explore what you're going through.
ADHD and neurodiversity
Living with ADHD or other neurodivergent experiences can influence many aspects of life, including relationships, self-esteem, emotional wellbeing and how we understand ourselves.
Whether you've received a diagnosis, are exploring the possibility of ADHD, or are reflecting on your experiences, therapy can provide a space to make sense of things without judgement.
My own experience of receiving a later-in-life ADHD diagnosis has given me an appreciation of the questions and emotions that can arise when we begin to see ourselves through a different lens.
