Do you really know who you are?

Working with issues of identity and family to help discover your true selves

When we fall into 'psychological distress' and overwhelm there can be a myriad of reasons why. My specialism is working with adults who identify some of their issues as coming from one of life's most essential questions: who am I?

My aim is to create long lasting, sustainable change through a truer understanding of yourself.

will create a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can feel truly heard. I believe therapy is a guided process, where we will cover a broad range of issues your present, your understanding of the past and the projection of your future selves.

My approach is foregrounded by kindness, to yourself and each other. I bring together elements of body based (somatic) psychotherapy , psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I will ground this in neuroscience, mindfulness and art work.

Common Themes

In therapy, I have found themes which relate to issues of identity, in the way individuals initially tend to present themselves. They are often the starting point for deeper exploration, which we explore dynamically at surface and depth.

Emotional Fatigue

Common symptoms can include burnout, brain fog, a lack of sleep and general overwhelm. We may initially focus on rebooting your nervous system through 'felt' sense work and classical psychodynamic approaches.

Addiction

This can be anything from issues with substance abuse to your relationship to food. The path through long term recovery can often be related to existential questions. We will initially work with your present 'here and now' feelings.

Coaching

Many clients are searching for a goal-orientated approach to help provide clarity about their future selves. We can focus on collaborative planning and developing a plan to broaden your key strengths to meet your goals, as long as it's firmly rooted in a strong sense of self.

Neurodiverse related

There's too much noise in our lives, and as a result we become more susceptible to emotional fatigue. This is particularly relevant for individuals who suspect they may have ADHD or autism. Developing this awareness helps to ground my clients appropriately for the remaining work.
