The Areas I Work

Relationships can become stuck in painful patterns of conflict, disconnection, resentment or misunderstanding. I help couples understand the cycle they’ve become caught in, including the emotions, attachment patterns and protective responses underneath it. Together, we explore what each person is experiencing and needing, while creating space for accountability, emotional safety and genuine repair. Whether you’re navigating ongoing conflict, betrayal, intimacy difficulties or simply feeling disconnected, therapy can help you find a more secure and connected way forward.

If you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts, you don’t have to face them alone or be afraid of being judged. Therapy provides a safe, compassionate space to talk honestly about what you’re experiencing, without needing to have the right words or know what to do next. Together, we focus on your immediate safety while gently exploring what has brought you to this point, easing overwhelm, strengthening support, and finding a sense of connection, choice and a reason to keep going.

If you’re carrying the effects of trauma, you don’t have to keep pushing through it on your own. Whether your experiences are recent, developmental, relational or complex, therapy offers a safe space to understand what’s happening without being rushed or overwhelmed. We’ll work at a pace that feels manageable, helping you understand your responses, settle an overwhelmed nervous system, process what you’re carrying, and gradually reconnect with a stronger sense of safety, choice and trust in yourself.

If you’re struggling with addiction or behaviours that feel difficult to control, you don’t have to face it with shame or judgement. Therapy offers a space to understand what these behaviours are helping you cope with, while also supporting you to make different choices. Together, we can explore the emotions, experiences and unmet needs underneath the behaviour, build healthier ways of coping, and work towards a life where you feel more present, connected and in control.

If anxiety is taking up too much space in your life, therapy can help you understand what’s happening without judging or trying to simply “switch it off.” Together, we can explore the thoughts, feelings, body sensations and patterns behind your anxiety, while developing ways to feel safer and more grounded. Over time, you can learn to respond to anxiety differently, feel less controlled by it, and develop greater confidence, calm and trust in yourself.

If you’re feeling low, disconnected, exhausted or like you’ve lost your sense of yourself, therapy can offer a space to understand what’s happening without judgement or pressure to simply “feel better.” Together, we can explore the thoughts, emotions, experiences and patterns beneath what you’re feeling, while gently reconnecting with your body and your needs. We’ll work at a manageable pace to build self-compassion, restore a sense of connection and help you find meaningful ways forward.

If anger feels difficult to control, or you find yourself reacting more strongly than you’d like, therapy can help you understand what’s happening beneath it without judgement. Together, we can explore what your anger may be responding to, how it shows up in your body, and the experiences or patterns that may be contributing to it. You’ll learn ways to recognise your triggers, express your needs and boundaries safely, and respond with greater choice rather than feeling driven by the intensity of the moment.

If you’re experiencing grief or loss, therapy can offer a safe space to process what has changed without being rushed to “move on.” Grief can follow the loss of a person, relationship, dream, identity, health, security or the life you imagined. Together, we can gently explore how your grief is showing up emotionally and physically, make space for what you’re carrying, and find ways to honour what has been lost while gradually reconnecting with yourself and life moving forward.

If you often feel overwhelmed, reactive, emotionally disconnected or unsure how to handle what you’re feeling, therapy can help you understand yourself on a deeper level. Together, we’ll explore your emotions, body responses and patterns, and how your nervous system has learned to respond to stress and relationships. You’ll develop greater awareness of what you’re feeling and why, along with practical ways to pause, regulate, communicate your needs and respond with more clarity, confidence and choice.
