"But part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself—to let go of the limiting stories you’ve told yourself about who you are so that you aren’t trapped by them, so you can live your life and not the story you’ve been telling yourself about your life."

Lori Gottlieb

My Approach to Therapy

I offer a compassionate and safe therapy space where you will have the space to share how you are really feeling without any expectation or judgement.

My approach provides a validating space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing, build a trusting therapeutic relationship and be gently challenged around thoughts or behaviours that may be working against you.

Every client I see is unique in their own way and I encourage you in being able to bring all parts of yourself into our sessions.

I am a qualified CBT Therapist (CBT helps us to identify and change our unhelpful thoughts, beliefs and behaviours) but I work in an Integrative way where I use various approaches to therapy depending on what support is most valuable for you.

I offer support for a range of presenting issues such as: Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Trauma, ADHD, and Autism.

Alongside this I have a special interest in supporting clients that struggle with people-pleasing and disconnection (to self, others, their wants/needs).

Impact of Therapy

“Awareness is the greatest agent for change“ - Eckhart Tolle

Through therapy you can gain understanding of your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and patterns of reacting.

This increased self-awareness can support you to make changes that allow you to live in alignment to what feels important to you.

Common benefits of therapy include:

gaining self-understanding
improving your relationship with yourself, and others
gaining confidence and self-worth
reducing anxiety
learning healthy ways of coping
feeling more able to enjoy things
understanding and regulating your emotions
processing stuck emotions
changing your behaviours and habits
valuing your own needs
improving communication
understanding and setting boundaries
breaking the cycle of people-pleasing
overcoming perfectionism and procrastination
improving your relationship with food and your body

Therapy can help you to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

When we feel overwhelmed we can often feel disconnected from ourselves, others and the world. Therapy can ease the pressure you are feeling, provide you with skills to cope, and help you to re-connect.

In addition to talking, learning self-soothing techniques to calm your nervous system can be an important part of therapy for some clients.

Looking into therapy and taking the step to reach out can feel like a lot, so make sure to give yourself credit for taking this step and I hope you get the support you deserve soon!
