You don’t have to keep holding it all together on your own
You might look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly overthinking.
Perhaps you’re exhausted from trying to manage everything alone. You may want to feel steadier, clearer, and more in control of your reactions. To have relationships that feel secure rather than anxious and to feel like your mind is working with you, not against you.
At times, emotions can feel intense or hard to manage. You might notice patterns that repeat in relationships, or feel stuck in ways you can’t quite explain. Your nervous system may rarely feel calm.
In our work together, we focus on understanding what’s happening for you in a way that feels safe and manageable. We work at your pace, helping you feel more grounded, regulated, and able to respond differently over time.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to you, including how your mind, body, and nervous system respond to stress and life experiences.
Therapy with me is not about fixing you. It is about understanding your patterns, building stability, and helping you feel more secure in yourself and in your relationships.
Counselling Approaches
CBT can be helpful for understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact, particularly when working with anxiety and emotional distress. I use CBT in a collaborative and flexible way, supporting you to notice unhelpful patterns and develop practical coping strategies. This work is paced and adapted to you, with an emphasis on self-compassion rather than self-criticism, and aims to support greater clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience.
SFT can be helpful when you feel stuck or overwhelmed and want to move towards change in a practical and manageable way. This approach pays attention to your strengths, resources, and what is already working, rather than focusing solely on difficulties. I use solution focused work collaboratively, supporting you to clarify goals and take small, meaningful steps forward, while remaining mindful of your pace and individual circumstances.
DBT-informed work can be helpful for people who experience intense emotions, difficulties with impulse control, or challenges in relationships. I draw on DBT skills in an integrative way, focusing on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach is used flexibly and collaboratively, alongside other therapeutic work, and can be supportive for clients who experience emotional dysregulation, including some neurodivergent individuals.
I work in a trauma informed way, prioritising safety, pacing, and emotional regulation. Therapy may include stabilisation, gentle exploration of traumatic experiences, and integration, depending on what feels appropriate for you. I adapt the work to your individual needs, ensuring you remain in control throughout the process. I am also trained in the Rewind Technique, which can be helpful for single incident trauma. I do not currently work with war veterans or military personnel.
Attachment and inner child work explore how early relationships and experiences may continue to influence your emotions, beliefs, and patterns in adulthood. I use this approach gently and collaboratively to support greater self understanding, self compassion, and emotional safety. This work can help you recognise and soften unhelpful patterns, develop healthier relationships, and feel more securely connected to yourself and others.
I work in a neurodiversity-informed way, recognising that differences in thinking, processing, communication, and sensory experience are part of human diversity rather than deficits to be fixed. I aim to adapt therapy to your individual needs, pace, and communication style, offering flexibility and clarity where helpful. My focus is on understanding your lived experience, reducing overwhelm, and supporting emotional wellbeing without pathologising or pressure to mask.
