You May Be Here Because
Many of the women I work with have experienced long-term emotional strain or relationship trauma, including narcissistic abuse or growing up with emotionally immature parents. Others come to therapy during midlife or significant life transitions, noticing patterns of self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or a loss of identity that no longer make sense.
- Chronic self-blame, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting your own judgement
- Feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly on edge
- Relationship trauma, narcissistic abuse, or repeating patterns that leave you feeling unseen, responsible, or not enough
- Difficult parent relationships, family guilt, emotional neglect, or struggling to create boundaries with loved ones
- Childhood trauma or past emotional wounds resurfacing in adult life
- ADHD in women, including overwhelm, emotional intensity, rejection sensitivity, or difficulty regulating stress
- Questioning “Who am I now?” during motherhood, menopause, midlife, relocation, expat life, or other major life transitions
Reconnecting With Yourself
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not broken and you’re not alone. What you’re describing is usually the result of years of adapting, just about managing, and putting yourself last. Therapy gives you the space to stop doing that, even just for an hour a week.
My approach weaves together psychotherapy, nervous-system work, and mind-body practice. Real change happens in the body and mind which is why it’s so important to respect both. Together we work at a pace that feels right for you, building self-trust, emotional steadiness, and a clearer sense of who you actually are underneath all of it.
My Therapeutic Approach
My work is trauma-informed, feminist and integrative, utilising a range of evidence-based modalities. I work this way because different women need different tools and because the most lasting change tends to happen when we work with both the patterns in your thinking and the ones held in your nervous system.
Therapy is not about fixing you. It’s about understanding what’s been shaping your responses, your relationships, and your sense of self and giving you what you need to respond differently when you’re ready.
