FOR WHEN YOU'RE TIRED OF JUST COPING. 

Get ready to understand yourself deeply - and actually change what needs to change. 

THE BIT YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT... 

You've been holding it together for a long time. 

Maybe you're the one everyone leans on. The one who keeps things running, stays calm on the outside, and deals with it later. Except later never really comes, and the weight of it all is starting to show.

Maybe you're snapping at the people you love. Maybe you're shutting down when things get too much. Maybe you're lying awake replaying conversations, second-guessing yourself, or wondering why you can't just get over something that happened years ago.

You've probably told yourself you should be coping better by now. That other people manage. That it's not bad enough to need help.

But here's the thing: you don't have to be in crisis to deserve support. And "coping" isn't the same as living.

If you're carrying emotional overwhelm that won't shift, trauma that still shows up in your body and your relationships, or patterns you keep falling back into no matter how hard you try, therapy can help you understand what's really going on and actually change it.

This isn't just talking for the sake of talking. We get curious about where your patterns started, what's keeping them stuck, and what needs to shift. Then we work on it together, at your pace, with tools that make a real difference in your daily life.

 

Difficulties I work with

  • Emotional overwhelm and difficulty managing intense feelings
  • Trauma and its lasting effects on your body, relationships, and sense of self
  • Relationship difficulties and repeating relational patterns
  • Low self-worth, shame, and self-criticism
  • Burnout, people-pleasing, and the pressure to hold it all together

 

What you can expect

HOW I WORK

Therapy that goes beyond talking

Yes, we talk. But this isn't about going over the same ground week after week hoping something shifts.

I use three evidence-based approaches, each doing something different:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing)

For processing trauma, shifting stuck emotional responses, and helping your body feel safe again. Particularly helpful if you're carrying things that talk therapy alone hasn't shifted.

DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy)

Practical tools for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. I lead DBT services in the NHS and have received the Association of Psychological Therapies Excellence in DBT Award.

CAT (Cognitive Analytic Therapy)

For understanding the relational patterns you keep falling into, where they started, and how to start doing something different.

YOUR FIRST STEPS

Initial Consultation

We start with a free 15-minute call so you can ask questions, get a feel for whether I'm the right git, and decide if you'd like to go ahead. No pressure, no commitment.

Ongoing Sessions

Sessions are 50 minutes, held weekly or fortnightly depending on what works for you. We work at your pace. Some people come for a focused block of sessions around a specific issue. Others stay longer to work through deeper patterns. There's  no set number and no pressure either way. 

Between Sessions

This isn't the kind of therapy where nothing happens between appointments. You'll leave with thing to notice, try, or reflect on. Nothing overwhelming, just enough to keep things moving.
