Do you ever find yourself wondering why you react the way you do, struggle to trust, overthink relationships, or feel like you’re constantly trying to understand yourself?
Maybe you’ve experienced difficult relationships, trauma, rejection, or times where your needs didn’t feel understood. Maybe you’ve learned to people-please, mask, over-function, avoid conflict, or put everyone else first.
For many people, these patterns make sense when we explore your attachment style, past experiences and the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself.
Sometimes the things we do to survive earlier experiences can stick around a little longer than we’d like, like an unwanted house guest who forgot to leave.
I’m Vanessa, a psychotherapist offering a warm, compassionate and honest space where we can explore the experiences that have shaped you and help you build a deeper understanding of yourself.
I believe therapy isn’t about fixing you or changing who you are, it’s about understanding yourself more deeply, making sense of your experiences and creating space to feel more like yourself. Therapy can be a place for honesty, curiosity, compassion and even moments of humour, because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy.
