Sometimes the conversation is with yourself.
Not every relationship issue is with someone else. Sometimes, the relationship with yourself is what needs working on. Individual therapy can be a place to make sense of what’s happening, understand the patterns you keep finding yourself in, and work through the things that feel difficult to shift on your own.
There’s a lot we can work on.
Sometimes there’s one thing that brings you to therapy. Other times, it’s a collection of things that have become difficult to untangle. We can start with whatever feels most important.
Relationships & dating
Family relationships & dynamics
Break-ups & separation
Infidelity & affair recovery
Patterns that keep repeating
Anxiety & overthinking
Relationship OCD
Connection & intimacy
Grief & loss
Self-worth & identity
Life transitions & change
Communication & boundaries
Personal growth & self-development
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.
My approach to individual therapy is collaborative and evidence-based. People don’t arrive in neat categories, and relationships don’t happen separately from the rest of life. Grief, trauma, anxiety, health, identity, neurodivergence and major life changes can all shape how we feel, cope and relate to the people around us. What we focus on, and how we work, will depend on what brings you to therapy, what’s getting in the way and what you want to be different.
I draw on a range of psychological approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and trauma-focused therapies, adapting the work to the person rather than expecting the person to fit the therapy.
Good therapy is evidence-based.
And meets you where change feels possible.
So, what do we actually do in therapy?
We talk. We get curious. We notice patterns. We make connections between what’s happening now and what may be sitting underneath it. Sometimes I’ll challenge the way you’re looking at something. Sometimes we’ll practise a different way of responding, or work out what a difficult conversation might actually sound like. And sometimes, having somewhere to say the thing out loud is part of the work.
