Relationships
You may find yourself struggling in intimate relationships or friendships. Perhaps you feel caught between closeness and distance, or become stuck in conflict or dependence. Therapy can help you relate differently to yourself and to others.
Codependency
You may find yourself overly focused on another person’s needs and emotions, while losing touch with your own. This can leave you feeling responsible and drained. Therapy can offer a space to explore these dynamics and begin to step out of them.
Life transitions and decisions
At times, life asks something new of us: a change of career, a relationship ending or beginning, or becoming a parent. You may feel uncertain, divided, or frozen. Therapy can help you navigate these moments and find a way forward.
Painful childhood experiences
You may carry the effects of trauma. Therapy cannot rewrite the past, but it can help you make sense of its impact and find a different relationship to what happened.
Shame and self-worth
You may struggle with a sense of not being enough. Shame can inhibit relationships, ambition, and even the way you inhabit your own body. Therapy can offer a place where these experiences can be approached with honesty and care.
Sex, sexuality, and gender
I aim to offer a space where questions of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity can be explored without presumption or pathologising. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I work with people across a range of sexualities, gender identities, and relationship structures.
Problems with alcohol or substances
You may be caught in a behavioural loop with alcohol or substances. Therapy can help you look more closely at what this use is doing for you, what pain may be bound up with it, and what might make change possible.
I also support people through 12-step programmes.
Work-related stress and burnout
You may feel trapped in a role that no longer fits or overly absorbed in the pursuit of success. Therapy can help you reflect on your relationship to work and consider what a more sustainable way of living might require.
Lack of meaning
Sometimes the difficulty is harder to name. You may feel lost or no longer fully engaged in life. These experiences can be painful and isolating. Therapy can provide a space to discover what makes life worth living to you.
