Life can be so challenging when you're struggling - You may be doing your best to navigate your way through a difficult and traumatic life event or be struggling with past experiences, feeling low or a bit lost. Perhaps you are overwhelmed with anxiety or have behavioural patterns that you just can't seem to break the pattern of. During these times, the future can be so very difficult to see, even the next step ahead can become unclear. You don't need to struggle alone anymore. This is your first step towards feeling better and I am so glad you are here. Something will grow from all you are going through and it will be YOU.

Freedom is that time in space when you are allowed to be truly yourself – a time to do what you want, when you want it and not be shackled by others agenda’s. This singular word is extremely precious and valuable to me because there have been times when I felt I had no freedom. My aim is to work with you in a holistic way, My training allows me to tailor make the therapy to you at any individual time. I work with a variety of issues and believe that everyone has the capability for change. Come and experience the lovely purpose built log cabin, a private space nestled amongst trees with a log burner and a cosy, homely feel.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or disconnected from yourself, even if things appear fine on the outside. I work with people who are experiencing stress, emotional tension, or a sense of being stuck, and are looking for a deeper, more embodied way of understanding themselves. Somatic psychotherapy supports you to slow down, reconnect with your body and begin to gently shift patterns that no longer serve you.

Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to coping on your own. You might be functioning on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that are getting you down. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone and you don’t have to carry it by yourself. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others. You may have an idea of what feels wrong, but feel unsure how to move forward, or whether change is possible.

I work with people who struggle with people-pleasing, self-doubt, and relationship anxiety. You might worry about disappointing others, replay conversations in your mind, or feel guilty for putting your own needs first. Over time, people-pleasing can leave you feeling exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from what you truly want. Therapy offers a space to understand where these patterns began and how they shape your relationships today. Together we can explore your needs, build confidence in expressing them, and practise setting healthier boundaries so you can feel more grounded, secure, and comfortable being yourself.

You may find yourself repeating patterns that feel difficult to understand or change, struggling with anxiety, food, body image, relationships, self-esteem, grief, or a persistent sense of shame or self-criticism. Often these experiences are shaped by earlier relationships and ways of coping that once helped but may now feel limiting. My work is grounded in a relational, psychodynamic approach where we explore how past experiences may continue to shape how you feel about yourself and others today. By bringing greater awareness to these patterns, therapy can create space for understanding, self-compassion and change.

Hello and welcome! I am an integrative therapist committed to helping you identify your needs and find ways to meet them. I offer a space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself, especially if you’ve spent much of your time caring for others (such as loved ones who are affected by addiction or illness, or an adult child leaving home home). I can support you in facing these or other challenges, where your own needs may have been pushed aside. Together, we gently explore your experience and support you in learning how to care for yourself as well as others.

Stress, anxiety, depression is no longer such a taboo subject, yet we often tell ourselves, I can cope with this myself or maybe nobody will want to listen because nobody has time, or how about I’m too ashamed and I blame myself so I will cope with this by myself...... Well I am here to offer you the space to speak the unspoken and explore worrying thoughts together. The problem might be a recent incident that has left you feeling unsettled or a long standing concern deep rooted in unresolved trauma that has affected you e.g. sleepless nights, social anxiety, fear, relationship issue, performance at work, mood, self worth.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.

What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.

How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.

What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
