Anxiety & overwhelm
A persistent sense of worry, dread or pressure that can be difficult to settle, even when life appears to be going well.
How I can help
You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis—or all the words.
People come to psychotherapy for many reasons. Sometimes there is a clear difficulty; sometimes there is simply a sense that something is not right, or that life is being lived at a distance from yourself.
The list below is a starting point, not a definition of youAreas we might explore
What may be bringing you to therapy.
Depression & low mood
Feeling flat, hopeless, withdrawn or disconnected from the life and relationships around you.
Relationship difficulties
Conflict, distance, dependency, mistrust or a sense that the same painful dynamic keeps returning.
Identity & belonging
Questions about who you are, where you belong or how culture, family and expectation have shaped your sense of self.
Loss & bereavement
The emotional impact of death, separation, estrangement or the loss of a role, community, future or former self.
Life transitions
Change relating to work, relationships, ageing, parenthood, illness, relocation or a period of personal uncertainty.
Low self-esteem
A harsh inner voice, shame, self-doubt or the feeling that you are somehow less worthy than others.
Trauma & difficult experiences
Events or relationships from the past that continue to affect your emotional life, body or sense of safety.
Feeling stuck
Outwardly coping or achieving while inwardly dissatisfied, restless or unable to move forward.
Repeating patterns
Noticing that familiar reactions, choices or relationships recur despite your efforts to change them.
“You may recognise yourself in several of these experiences—or in none of them exactly. We can begin with whatever feels most present.”
A thoughtful first step
We can begin with a conversation.
The initial consultation is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to therapy, ask questions and consider whether working together feels right.
