Areas of support

Every person’s story is different. These are the areas I most often work with.

Trauma

Difficult experiences can stay with us long after they end: in the body, in sleep, in how safe the world feels. Therapy offers a steady place to make sense of them without being rushed.

You might notice

  • Memories that still feel present
  • Feeling on edge, or feeling numb
  • Trouble sleeping or concentrating
  • Avoiding places, people or reminders

How we work on it

We go gently: first building a sense of safety and steadiness, then making sense of what happened, at the pace you choose. You stay in control of what we talk about.

Anxiety

Anxiety can make ordinary days feel like hard work: a mind that will not rest, a body on alert, plans shaped around avoiding discomfort.

You might notice

  • Worry that will not switch off
  • Panic, tightness, sleepless nights
  • Avoiding what used to feel easy
  • Feeling tense in social situations

How we work on it

Together we understand what feeds the worry, practise ways to calm the body and the mind, and gently widen the space you can move in.

Depression

Depression can drain the colour from things that used to matter and make even small tasks feel heavy.

You might notice

  • A heaviness that will not lift
  • Losing interest in what used to matter
  • Feeling far away from people
  • Tiredness that rest does not fix

How we work on it

We make room for what feels heavy without judgement, look at the patterns that keep you stuck, and find small, realistic steps back toward what matters to you.

Life’s harder moments

Some seasons are simply hard: a loss, a move, a relationship under strain, or a feeling of being lost without knowing why.

You might notice

  • Grief and loss
  • Moves, changes and transitions
  • Strain in family or relationships
  • Feeling lost without knowing why

How we work on it

We make space to understand what this moment is asking of you, and find steadier footing to move through it.
