You receive a short message and immediately wonder if someone is upset with you or if you might have done something wrong. You monitor other people’s moods and adjust yourself to keep the peace.
You say yes to plans when you would rather rest and take on extra work because saying no feels selfish. Afterwards, you feel tired or resentful but still worry you have let someone down. Others may see you as capable, helpful or “the strong one,” without realising how much you overthink, struggle to switch off or question whether you are good enough.
Seeking therapy can feel difficult when you are used to coping alone. You may worry that your problems are not serious enough or that talking about yourself is self-indulgent. In therapy, we can explore why approval matters so much, what makes saying no feel difficult and how to recognise your own needs without being overwhelmed by guilt.
I work integratively, adapting therapy to you rather than following a set programme. We may connect present situations with earlier relationships, notice what happens between us, and pay attention to emotional and bodily responses that are difficult to put into words. I offer therapy in English and Polish, in person in Hale and Altrincham and online.
