You've done the work. Read the books, tried the approaches, maybe even done therapy before. And yet something keeps running: A pattern you can name but can't shift. That gap between knowing and changing is exactly what I work with. I see adults who are ready to move forward, not just understand their past. If you want real change, not endless processing, you're in the right place.

I work with people who are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. Together we explore "what hurts", what you desire and long for and how you relate to yourself and the world. Psychodynamic therapy respects the complexity of humans and looks to provide not only relief from symptoms, but the opportunity for a richer life.

You're good at holding it together on the outside, but privately running on empty. You say yes when you mean no. You shrink yourself to keep the peace. You're exhausted by how much space other people's feelings take up in your head.
You might feel disconnected from who you actually are, stuck in patterns you can't quite name, or like something's off but you can't fully explain it. You're not in crisis. You're just tired of carrying so much.
You want to slow down, understand what's been getting in the way, and start making choices that actually feel like yours.

My ideal client is an adult who is capable, insightful, and quietly overwhelmed. They may be neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, or both) and/or have a history of complex trauma. Daily life feels harder than it should — motivation, organisation, emotional regulation and follow-through are ongoing challenges. They are tired of feeling stuck, misunderstood, or self-critical. They want practical, compassionate support that helps them understand their patterns, work with their nervous system, and build a life that feels more manageable, meaningful and aligned with their values.

SJ's approach is influenced by psychodynamic psychotherapy. From this framework, treatment is centred on illuminating the unconscious narratives that we all carry within ourselves, impressed upon us by our early experiences. We may find ourselves feeling stuck, indifferent, or overwhelmed, despite immense efforts to change, unaware of the repeating patterns within ourselves, and in our interactions with others. Through the exploration of the past and paying close attention to what arises in the present moment-to-moment interactions, we can come to embrace the entirety of our experience and transformation begins anew.

I work with people who feel like they’re carrying too much. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, exhaustion, shame, or the sense that they’re caught in patterns they can’t quite see but can’t seem to change. For others, it’s tied to experiences of trauma, OCD, eating disorders, or the ongoing effort of living in a body or world that hasn’t always felt safe. Many are also navigating questions of identity, neurodivergence, or health alongside their mental health. What they’re looking for is clarity, steady support, and practical ways to start untangling the patterns that leave them feeling stuck.
