Life changes, loss, the pressure of keeping everything going, or ADHD-related overwhelm can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of who you are anymore. You may be tired of always being the steady one, longing for a space where you can drop the mask and be honest about how things really feel. I offer a calm, down-to-earth place to talk things through, make sense of what’s been building up, and begin to feel clearer, steadier, and more like yourself again..

Do you feel like you’re "managing" life rather than living it? Perhaps you’re waiting to feel like your "old self" again, only to realize that version of you no longer fits. Whether you are navigating the profound identity shifts of the perinatal period or processing long-standing trauma, the path forward isn't always about going back—it’s about discovering who you are now. You might feel stuck in cycles of perfectionism or burnout, tired of performing for others. You’re looking for a space to exhale, integrate your experiences, and safely begin the process of becoming your next, more authentic self.

So often the psychological distress we experience is an understandable reaction to the things we have gone through and the situations we find ourselves in. Therapy can help us make sense of what is happening and develop new ways of seeing or coping with things. What brings people to therapy can be vastly different. Maybe you’ve lost enjoyment in your life or work & are feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you’ve noticed patterns that keep showing up in your life & you want to get to the bottom of why you do what you do. Or maybe you’ve experienced some painful things & feel that they’re impacting your life & you want that to be different.

Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in the UK hold various credentials depending on their training and regional requirements. Counsellors and Psychotherapists registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) receive the designation MBACP and their qualifications and practice are overseen by BACP. Many Psychologists registered with the British Psychological Society receive the title of Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol), signifying that they have completed postgraduate training and supervised practice. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
