Welcome

Therapy for when you feel stuck, overwhelmed or not yourself.

Perhaps you’ve been holding things together for a long time, but something has started to feel harder. You might feel overwhelmed, anxious or disconnected from yourself, find yourself repeating patterns in your relationships, or struggle to understand why certain experiences continue to affect you.

You may be going through a significant life change: becoming a parent, adjusting to motherhood, navigating menopause, or simply reaching a point where you’re questioning who you are and what you want. Sometimes these transitions can bring older experiences, emotions and patterns to the surface.

You don’t have to work it all out on your own.

I offer therapy for women who want to understand themselves more deeply, process difficult experiences and feel more able to move forward. Together, we can explore what is happening for you, where it may come from, and what you need now.

What might bring you to therapy?

You might be:

• Feeling overwhelmed, anxious or emotionally drained

• Struggling with confidence, self-worth or your sense of identity

• Finding relationships difficult or noticing patterns you keep repeating

• Experiencing the impact of difficult or painful past experiences

• Finding a major life transition harder than you expected

• Adjusting to motherhood or struggling with aspects of the perinatal period

• Navigating menopause and questioning your identity, relationships or sense of self

• Feeling stuck and unsure how to make changes

• Wanting to understand yourself and your reactions more clearly

You don’t need to have a clear explanation for how you’re feeling before starting therapy. Sometimes the first step is simply recognising that something isn’t working anymore.

A space to understand what’s really going on

Therapy can give you time and space away from the demands of everyday life to slow down and pay attention to what you’re experiencing.

We can explore the experiences that have shaped you, understand patterns that may no longer be serving you, and make sense of the thoughts, feelings and reactions that can sometimes seem difficult to explain.

My approach is warm, compassionate and non-judgemental. I won’t tell you what you should do, think or feel. Instead, we’ll work together to understand what is happening for you and what you want to be different.

My particular areas of interest include working with the impact of past experiences and supporting women through significant life transitions, including the perinatal period, motherhood and menopause.

How I work

I’m an integrative therapist, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to you rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

The relationship we build is an important part of therapy. I want you to feel safe enough to be honest about what is really going on, including the things that may feel difficult to say out loud.

Depending on what you need, therapy might involve understanding where particular patterns come from, processing experiences from the past, developing greater self-awareness, or finding new ways of responding to situations in the present.

We can work together for a shorter period around a particular issue, or over a longer period if you want to explore things more deeply.

Thinking about starting therapy?

You don’t need to know exactly what you need from therapy before getting in touch.

I offer a free 20-minute initial telephone or Zoom call, giving you an opportunity to tell me a little about what’s bringing you to therapy, ask any questions and get a sense of whether I might be the right therapist for you.

If we both feel that working together could be a good fit, we can arrange your first session.

Sessions are usually weekly and last 50 minutes. We can review our work together regularly to make sure therapy continues to feel useful and relevant to you.
