Something feels harder than it should and you might not even have the words for it yet. Maybe you're overwhelmed, anxious, or carrying grief you can't quite name. Perhaps becoming a parent has brought unexpected emotions to the surface. Or you're in the middle of a life transition that's left you feeling lost. I offer warm, relational psychotherapy tailored entirely to you, a space to slow down, make sense of what's happening and feel less alone with it.

Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

Hello! I'm Soirse and I'm a Creative Therapist practicing in Islington, London. I help adults and adolescents who are living with the impact of difficult life experiences, struggling with low mood, or feeling disconnected from their authentic identity. Sometimes past experiences show up in the present - in your emotions, your relationships, and how you see yourself - leaving you feeling stuck or disconnected. Do you feel constantly on edge, replaying painful memories, or struggling to switch off? Maybe you’re finding it hard to sleep, coping with waves of anger or sadness, or noticing yourself withdraw from people and situations.

You may be here because you’re looking for someone you can truly talk to — someone who will listen with empathy, curiosity, and respect. My role as a therapist is to offer a space where you feel safe and supported as we explore current challenges, past experiences, or beliefs about yourself and the world that may hold you back from living a more fulfilling life. A clear picture of what exactly troubles you isn't always necessary — only to know that you desire change. Together, we can develop a deeper understanding of what’s happening for you and explore how therapy might support your growth, healing, and potential.

You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or a general sense of being stuck or disconnected. Perhaps you've tried therapy before and found something missing - it helped to a point, but didn't quite get at what keeps you struggling. You might recognise you keep encountering the same difficulties in different relationships or situations. Or you understand intellectually why you feel or do certain things, yet find it difficult to change. You're looking for more than symptom management - you want to understand the patterns underneath your struggles and find a way forward that feels genuinely different.

I find the Person-Centred Approach fits my own philosophy as it has at its very core, an unshakable belief that all people are good. Person-Centred counselling believes that each and every person can, and will, become a more fully functioning person if given the correct conditions. The underpinning principles of the Person- Centred Approach are focused on the counsellor being honest, non-judgmental and fully accepting whilst being fully integrated in the relationship allowing the client to lead and set the pace. I aim to offer these conditions as best as I can during our relationship.

With over a decade of experience as a UKCP-registered Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist, many families come to me because their child or young adult is anxious, overwhelmed, autistic, traumatised, or struggling with big emotions. You may feel exhausted or unsure how to help them feel calmer and more connected. You want someone who understands your child’s world, supports you as a parent, and can also help older teens/young adults who feel stuck or lost. Many families I meet feel isolated or unseen, and they’re looking for my support to help the whole family feel more connected and move forward.
