Therapy

I have worked within the mental health charity Mind for 3 years meeting a diverse group of people with wide ranging issues some of which include anxiety, depression, attachment trauma, narcissistic abuse, domestic abuse, anger, stress, struggles with sexuality/identity, bereavement and grief. I have always contextualised my work within a socio-political-cultural framework and have supported people through varied forms of crisis. Many of my clients were survivors of C-PTSD so working collaboratively towards strengthening their sense of self was an important part of the work. Therapy can help restore self-agency and self-esteem. It is not only for people in crisis however, individuals often seek it for personal growth, to enhance their overall well-being.

 

I have come to appreciate that striving for authentic expression isn’t always easy. Understanding and becoming aware of our attachment patterns requires time, effort and self-compassion. How we talk to ourselves during difficult moments is incredibly important. It’s also normal to encounter resistance within yourself sometimes, or to feel uncomfortable when confronting deep-seated issues, but fear not as this is often a sign of growth.

I offer both short and long-term therapy where we are either specific about issues discussed or we can work in a more explorative fashion. There are rarely quick solutions but with persistence, hope and a willingness to be curious, we can begin shining a light on any darkness. I strive to help you make the most out of the life you have.
