Therapy offers you a rare opportunity to spend intentional time connecting with yourself.
It’s a place to explore your sensations, feelings, thoughts and behaviours through the lens of curiosity and compassion — at a pace your nervous system can manage. From here, we can implement sustainable shifts.
If you’re wanting more room to breathe, steadier relationships, and a clearer sense of self, I’m here to support your system to move from surviving to living with more choice and ease.
Why connection to self and others can feel so hard
When you grow up around conditional love and care, your system learns to protect you. This may mean not being able to attend to your suffering or ‘difficult’ emotions with compassion. It is very difficult to soothe oneself if there was no modelling or attunement when you were growing up. This self abandonment can be furthered compounded by modern life; where disconnection, pushing through and emphasis on self are not only the norm but praised!
These reactions didn’t come from nowhere — they were shaped by what you had to cope with AND reinforced by modern life.
They make sense in context.
Therapy and Somatic Experiencing gives you space to understand these patterns with compassion and to respond from choice rather than automatic survival.
understanding the patterns that formed when you were young
meeting younger parts of you who had to adapt to accommodate others
exploring the beliefs and protections that helped you survive
Our work together might include:
learning what feels safe enough in your body and relationships
gently widening your capacity for connection, and choice
discovering how authentic connection and a sense of belonging can be achieved in a modern world
The therapy process
1. Free discovery call Explore my approach through this website or browse my instagram. If what I share resonates, book a free 15-minute call where we can explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
2. Building safety (First 6-8 sessions) We begin by creating a foundation of steadiness and trust.
This includes nervous-system awareness, gentle pacing and getting to know what “safe enough” feels like in your body.
There is no pressure to go deep before you’re ready.
3. Ongoing therapy As safety grows, we move into deeper work — always at a pace your system can hold.
This might include exploring patterns, supporting younger parts, widening your capacity for connection, and finding ways of responding that feel more supportive than survival.
The work is gradual, grounded and collaborative.
