Who I Can Help
I work with adults who want to go deeper, beyond coping, and towards understanding themselves in a more meaningful way. This kind of deeper exploration can bring clarity, self-understanding, and a more compassionate way of relating to yourself.
Do you resonate with any of the below?
Relationship and Attachment Difficulties
Do you struggle to trust yourself or others? Do you find it difficult maintaining relationships, or holding and maintaining boundaries? Or do you notice patterns in relationships or behaviours that you don’t fully understand?
Together we can identify and unpick these recurring patterns and behaviours, carefully and sensitively.
Maladaptive Coping Behaviours
Have you learned to cope by pushing things down, but it’s no longer working? Do you notice you act on complusive and impulsive behaviours, or find it difficult finding effective coping strategies when things get tough?
I can offer support where we can look at these behaviours and help identify realistic and effective strategies and relapse prevention tools, to help you rediscover a sense of calm and control.
Trauma and Trauma Support
Have you experienced childhood or other past traumas? This could be relationship or family trauma?
Trauma is not just about what happened, but how this experience is held within your body and nervous system. Using a strengths-based approach, we look at what has happened to you, not what is wrong with you.
Together, and at your own pace, we can explore the emotional, physical, or relational impact of your trauma, helping you re-stabilise and move into a space that feels safe.
Anxiety, Stress and Low Mood
Do you feel overwhelmed or emotionally drained, and you’re not sure why?
Our exploration into these feelings and emotions can facilitate a lighter, more manageable sense of self, helping you undertand your feelings and yourself better.
Feeling Disconnected to a Sense of Self
Do you feel disconnected from who you are or how you feel?
In an age where identity is making the headlines, and parts of ourselves are being scrutinised or questioned, understanding and accepting your own identity may feel scary or confusing.
Using compassion-focused methods, we can carefully explore your values, sense of self and how these make you up. Together we can re-discover your self-esteem and self-compassion, and move towards acceptance, personal growth and resilliance.
Just not Feeling Yourself
Sometimes you might not know what to come with. You might recognise you are just not feeling yourself, but can't put your finger on why, and that's ok. We can look at this together, at your own pace.
If you resonate with any of these issues, please know you are not alone and support is available, if you feel ready. Contact me today and we can discuss putting a plan in place that suits you.
