Safety first
We go at your pace. When you feel safe enough to be completely yourself, real change becomes possible.
Therapy
Therapy that feels like a real conversation
Collaborative, flexible and at your pace. I bring the tools; you bring yourself, exactly as you are.
Sound familiar?
Is this you?
if you nodded at even one of these, let’s talk
- You lie awake replaying a conversation from three days ago.
- Everything looks fine from the outside. Inside, it’s a lot.
- Something small sets you off, and afterwards you wonder where that came from.
- You’re the one everyone leans on, and nobody asks how you are.
- You say yes when you mean no, then quietly resent it.
- You keep ending up in the same kind of relationship, just with a different name.
- Something happened years ago, and part of you still lives there.
- You moved countries for a fresh start, and now home doesn’t feel like anywhere.
You don’t need a diagnosis or the right words for it. You don’t need to have it figured out before we start. Bring whatever is going on, and we’ll make sense of it together.
How I work
What you can count on
Transparent
No hidden agenda and no jargon. I’ll explain what we’re doing and why, and you can question any of it.
Collaborative
We decide together what to focus on, how fast to go and when to change direction. You’re the expert on your life.
Integrative & flexible
Rarely does anyone need one fixed programme. I combine approaches to fit you, and adapt as you change.
Tools we might draw on
DBT
Skills for big emotions
Practical skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for staying steady, getting through tough moments and handling relationships.
About DBT →EMDRHealing what came before
A trauma therapy that helps your mind reprocess painful memories so they lose their emotional charge.
About EMDR →IFS
Getting to know your parts
Internal Family Systems: a gentle way of understanding the different sides of you, like the critic, the worrier or the people-pleaser, with curiosity instead of judgement.
Most people I work with use a mix: a few DBT skills here, some EMDR or parts work there, and plenty of plain honest conversation in between.
