Feeling anxiety and overwhelm? Together we can understand persistent patterns. If you're struggling with difficult memories or find yourself unable to make decisions, I offer gentle guidance to uncover the root causes and support you in overcoming these challenges. Reaching out is a courageous first step, I commend you for taking it. With 25 years of experience supporting individuals with mental health challenges; I get it, when you are faced with psychological distress and burnout. Offering LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed therapy in Leeds for anxiety. Gender dysphoria support, and a empathic space for autistic clients.
I'll explore the unconscious dynamics, early life experiences, and relational patterns that shape how you perceive yourself and your gender. Work together and understand why these feelings exist, so you can develop greater self-awareness, compassion, and agency and living your authentic self.
Whether you are new to therapy or have prior experience, I provide a supportive and respectful space for exploring your past, understanding the present, and developing strategies for the future. My approach emphasizes trust, honesty, and working together; problem-solving to address obstacles and internal conflicts.
