Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma, Shame, and Relationship Difficulties
People often come to therapy when they feel stuck, worn down, or as though they have been holding things together for too long. You might be living with constant worry, panic, or a busy mind that will not switch off. You may feel low, numb, irritable, or disconnected from yourself. You might carry a heavy sense that something is wrong with you, struggle with shame, or feel as though you are never quite enough.
For some people, there is an extra layer of pressure. You may have grown up feeling criticised, overlooked, or as though your needs did not matter. You may have learned to stay quiet, push on, and cope alone. Anger, stress, shutdown, or addictive coping may have become the only outlets you felt you had.
You may also be dealing with trauma or complex post traumatic stress, relationship pain, unhealthy dynamics, difficulties with boundaries, or patterns shaped by early experiences. Whether your struggles have a name or not, they matter. Therapy can be a place to speak honestly, be met with respect rather than judgement, and begin making sense of what you have been carrying.
Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy for ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD
If you are autistic, have ADHD, or relate to AuDHD, life can feel exhausting. You may spend a lot of time trying to fit in, second guessing yourself, and working twice as hard just to manage what others seem to find easy. You might feel overwhelmed by noise, crowds, interruptions, or too many demands at once. You may mask your struggles to get through the day, then crash later feeling burnt out and drained.
You may also have spent years being misunderstood, judged as lazy, difficult, too sensitive, or not trying hard enough, when in reality your nervous system has been under constant strain.
Therapy should not treat you as a problem to be fixed. It should make room for how your mind works, what you need, and what helps you feel steadier. Together, we can untangle overwhelm, reduce pressure, strengthen boundaries, and build more self trust. The goal is not to change who you are, but to help you live in a way that feels more manageable, natural, and true to you.
Open, Integrative, and Collaborative Therapy
Therapy with me is open to anyone, and it is always a collaborative process. Sessions move at a pace that feels manageable for you. When life has been overwhelming, or when you have been stuck in survival mode, we may begin by building safety, grounding, and stability. If you have been through abuse, controlling relationships, or long periods of emotional strain, therapy can be a place to breathe, rebuild trust, and start finding your feet again.
My core training is in Person Centred therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I work integratively, which means I draw from these approaches depending on what fits you best. Some people want space to explore feelings and be deeply heard. Some want to understand patterns shaped by the past. Others want practical tools to manage anxiety, mood, and day to day challenges. We can blend these approaches in a way that feels right for you.
At the heart of the work is a safe and respectful relationship built on warmth, honesty, and trust. Alongside that, therapy can help you strengthen boundaries, reconnect with your values, build confidence, and move towards the changes that matter to you. If something in you is ready for things to shift, you are welcome to reach out for an initial consultation.
