Common areas I work with in therapy sessions
People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons – sometimes about something specific, sometimes because they have a deeper sense that something’s not right. What matters is that something in you wants to make sense of things – and potentially move towards something different.
You might recognise yourself in some of these experiences…
Emotional overwhelm
You’re grieving – a relationship, a person, a future you hoped for, or a past that still lives in the present.
You feel anxious, overwhelmed or stuck – in patterns you don’t fully understand.
Relationships, identity and connection
You’re navigating relationship or family tensions – conflict, distance, affairs, betrayal, separation, co-parenting, or patterns that feel hard to shift.
You’re exploring identity, sex, sexuality or gender – wanting space to understand yourself more fully, without pressure or expectation.
You long to connect more deeply – with yourself and with others – and want to be met by someone who’s willing to show up with openness and vulnerability alongside you.
You want a space where emotional expression feels safe – whatever your gender, you’re ready to explore your feelings openly and without judgement.
Life transitions and uncertainty
You’re facing a major life change – the end of a relationship, becoming a parent, or something else that’s left you feeling unsettled or unsure.
Trauma, history and what’s been carried
You’ve been through things that have left a mark – trauma, loss, emotional neglect – and are ready to look at them, gently.
Self-worth and how you relate to yourself
You struggle with how you see yourself – your body, your worth, your place in the world.
You’re tired of performing – in relationships, in life – and want to feel more like you.
You’ve spent years being hard on yourself – and wonder what it might be like to relate to yourself differently.
Meaning, pressure and the wider world
You’re asking big questions – about meaning, identity, direction – and want space to explore them without pressure.
You care deeply about the world – but feel exhausted, disillusioned or shut down.
If any of this feels familiar, therapy with me offers a place to slow down, make space for the parts of you that need attention, and begin to meet yourself with more gentleness and compassion.
