Are you exploring Autism or ADHD later in life? Navigating anxiety, burnout or the exhaustion of masking and people-pleasing? I'm Tory and I know you might have arrived here feeling stuck - overwhelmed by stress, disconnected from your sense of self or carrying old patterns of shame. Lots of my clients experience low self-esteem and are coping with difficult family issues or relationship dynamics. I'm hopeful I can help you understand the roots of all these struggles and that together, working at your pace, we can explore your whole story with curiosity and consider change together.

You may have spent years appearing to cope whilst struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm or relationship difficulties. Perhaps you find yourself repeating the same patterns, struggling to set boundaries, feeling responsible for others, or constantly questioning yourself. These difficulties often have roots in earlier attachment experiences, trauma, or relationships where you did not feel safe, seen or valued. I specialise in helping adults understand and heal the lasting impact of trauma, attachment wounds and difficult life experiences.

Culture constrains our growth and personal development. Conforming to social norms places immense pressure on us to please others and perform... so much so that we endure trauma, create defenses and make ourselves sick with worry trying to fit in with others' image of ourselves.

In my experience, people seek psychotherapy for a variety of reasons ranging from crisis to personal development. The psychotherapeutic relationship is unique, separate from the rest of life, and offers a confidential space to explore and understand your relationship with yourself and others. My practice is anchored by the belief that we are all fundamentally ok and we all have the capacity for change and growth.

I have been trained in transactional analysis, gestalt, and person centred.
If you’ve spent most of your life holding it together for everyone else, it can be hard to know what you actually need. I work with thoughtful, high-functioning women who feel overwhelmed, stuck in relationship patterns, or disconnected from themselves. Together we explore where these patterns began and how to start changing them.
