Are you tired of just surviving? Giving everything you've got just to get through another day? Do you feel lost, alone and in pain, with no idea who you actually are or what you need or want? Perhaps too many years of perfectionism, people-pleasing and masking have taken their toll, and now you're ready to heal and discover who you really are underneath it all. Through Phoenixology therapy with Dr Naomi Parsons you'll find someone to walk the path alongside you, someone who's travelled the route themselves and knows that the view from the top is 1000% worth it. Sessions are always bespoke, filled with empathy, warmth and compassion.

My clinical work includes anxiety, panic attacks, mood-related concerns, self-esteem difficulties, stress, post-traumatic stress, and psychosomatic symptoms such as migraines and persistent headaches. I also support individuals coping with serious and terminal medical conditions. They want relief from persistent emotional and physical symptoms that interfere with daily life. They want to feel calmer, more in control of their reactions, and able to function.

The ways we cope, relate and protect ourselves often develop through experiences where we may not have felt fully safe, seen or understood. Therapy can offer a different kind of relational space, one where you can explore your experiences gently, at your own pace, and begin reconnecting with yourself in ways that feel more grounded and authentic. Together, we can begin to make sense of patterns in how you experience yourself in relationship with others that may leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or alone. I offer a warm, reflective and emotionally attuned space where you can feel heard with care and without judgement.

People often come to me when life feels overwhelming, stuck, or harder to manage. You might be feeling anxious, exhausted, low, tearful, on edge, numb, or in emotional or physical pain, or just coping day to day. Perhaps you’re overthinking, not sleeping well, burnt out, grieving, or noticing repeated patterns in relationships, work, or life changes. I offer a calm, confidential space either in person just outside Bowness-on-Windermere, within 5 miles, in a peaceful Lake District countryside setting or online.

If you (or your child) are seeking support to overcome some challenges in your life, counselling is a great way to explore your difficulties in a safe and non-judgmental space. A key part of the counselling process is the therapeutic relationship and I believe that due to my age this allows me to support you in greater ways. I empathise and understand the anxieties and pressures put on you by school/exams/university, the impact that growing up with social media and having an online persona can have on your self-esteem, how delicate family/friend relationships can be and the difficulties they can put onto you.

I am here to support your healing process. Looking for a therapist is a courageous first step. I have found that common themes clients bring to therapy include: Feelings of shame and a lack of worthiness; being very self-critical; Feeling rejected, hurt, and alone; Stuck in relationships that are not fulfilling; Feeling that your life lacks purpose; Traumatic experiences that feel like they define you. Do any of these sound familiar? Would it help to have a space to work through these issues, to let go, and to feel greater freedom in your life? If any of these issues resonate with you then we can work together to make a difference.

My clients come to me from a range of backgrounds, and experiencing a variety of challenges. Some of them know very clearly what they want to achieve from therapy, whereas others do not - only that they feel the need to be heard. In all cases, I provide a counselling approach that is tailored to the personality, wants and needs of each and every unique person I have the privilege to work with. Over many years of practice, my clients consistently tell me that it is my ability to create a safe, respectful and caring environment that means the most to them.
