Anxiety, low mood, finding it hard to cope – Life can feel stressful! Life Story Psychology provides a place to better understand what’s going on for you. It’s a space to explore how our current experiences link to earlier life circumstances, our attachment and relationship experiences, possible traumas, and sense of self and self-worth. By exploring our values, our primary needs, emotional experiences and general coping, we discover our true selves, become more aware of how we function and how to nurture our body and our mind - to heal, to learn, to find contentment.

I integrate these approaches with mindfulness practices and somatic techniques to help clients explore their inner world, develop coping strategies, and cultivate greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.
If you're an adolescent or woman feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in unresolved past experiences, you're not alone. You might be exhausted by the internal chaos, constantly battling big emotions, or struggling to silence that critical inner voice. You want to feel grounded, confident, and free from the pasts' grip. You yearn to understand your emotions better, to stop feeling like 'too much', or 'not enough', and to genuinely feel at peace within yourself, finally embracing all the parts that you, you.
