Spinning too many plates as you constantly juggle the needs of others? Feeling anxious, depressed and overwhelmed? Running on empty? 
 

​​

​​​​​​​​Do any of these feel familiar?​​

​

• Do you wade through your to-do list with a racing heart endlessly addressing the needs of everyone else, always leaving your needs and wants aside? Are you growing more resentful as those closest to you assume you will always be the one to arrange, organise, sort, fix and rescue?

• Are you harsh on yourself? Put yourself down? Is the pressure in your workplace exhausting? Working around the clock chasing endless deadlines, caught up in a cycle of self-blame as your critical inner voice tells you repeatedly that despite all your efforts you are not good enough and that you should have done better? Has anyone said recently that you are no longer the 'right fit' in your workplace? Are you feeling like a 'fish out of water'?

• Do you have a parent with dementia or Parkinson’s and feel overwhelmed by the burden and responsibility of organising their care?

• Are you trying to meet the needs of your teenage children who are struggling to cope with the stress of their GCSEs and A Levels? Feeling bereft and full of sadness as you look at the empty bed of your now adult child who has gone to university or recently left home?

• Do you yearn more time with your partner? And more intimacy? Or alternatively, do you crave independence and freedom? 
   

Whatever your age, you matter.
 

• You may be lonely, or in need of someone to talk to.

• You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or resentful.

• You may be experiencing ongoing communication conflict in your relationship, struggling with grief, loss, sadness, or exhaustion.

• You may have diagnosed or undiagnosed Autism (ASD) or ADHD and are finding it increasingly hard as the years pass by to regulate your emotions in this increasingly neurotypical world.

• You may be feeling stuck, and the time feels right to try to bring about some changes.

​

​How we work together

 

Integrative therapy is flexible and adaptive responding to your needs and the problems, issues and concerns you choose to bring to our sessions.

For me, at the heart of integrative therapy is the collaborative relationship between us. You are the expert on you. Often our work may be guided by a combination of attachment-based and psychodynamic approaches. Working together at your pace we explore the feelings and emotions evoked in your mind and body.
 

It is my hope is that we forge a trusting and nourishing relationship which helps you to develop your self-awareness, autonomy, and self-compassion.

 

Stories & Patterns

‘There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.’  (Maya Angelou)

We may explore your early attachment stories. It is likely we will explore how the past has helped to shape the patterns and life-long thinking of your adult life as well as impact on how you communicate in your current relationships.

​

Curiosity & Possibility

​​

‘To be hopeful means to be uncertain about the future, to be tender toward possibilities, to be dedicated to change all the way down to the bottom of your heart.’ (Rebecca Solnit)

​

Our work together will deepen your curiosity and encourage you to experience a greater sense of security. Sharing your story can help you build self-confidence and acceptance as you navigate everyday adjustments and challenges.​
