About me and my therapy practice
Together we can look at what brings you into therapy and what’s not working for you anymore. You might find yourself stuck in the same patterns in relationships, saying yes when you want to say no, overthinking every interaction, or feeling low and anxious without really knowing why. It can be hard to untangle all of that on your own. In our sessions, you can expect a calm, steady space where you don’t have to edit yourself. We slow things down so you can notice what’s really going on underneath the surface – in your thoughts, your emotions, and sometimes in your body too.
Together we’ll gently trace the threads between past and present – the patterns you keep getting pulled into, the roles you find yourself playing, the beliefs about yourself that may have started a long time ago. As we notice these patterns with curiosity , new choices often begin to appear – in how you respond, what you allow, and how you care for yourself.
Practice description
Therapy with me can sometimes feel tender or uncomfortable – we’re touching real places – but my intention is that it also feels relieving, validating, and hopeful. We might look at relationship patterns, experiment with new ways of responding, or find simple tools you can use between sessions to support your wellbeing.My first session
In our first session, I’ll spend around 10 minutes at the start gathering brief contact and GP details so we can work safely, without taking time away from your 50‑minute session. I’ll also explain confidentiality, how I manage risk, and other key parts of the counselling agreement, and you’ll have space to ask any questions before we begin your therapy work.What I can help with
