Specialities
I support adults who...
-
feel overwhelmed by work and life, struggle with burnout, stress or low mood.
-
feel stuck in unhelpful patterns and long for more genuine, nourishing connections.
-
late-identified as neurodivergent, want to understand their experiences and create a more supportive, sustainable life.
-
have always been “the strong one” and are feeling the emotional toll of holding everything together.
-
have been living with long-term shame or self-criticism and want to cultivate more self-compassion.
-
need space to process grief, loss or a sense of ongoing overwhelm.
-
struggle with relationship boundaries and repeating patterns that are hard to change.
-
want to explore the impact of trauma, including childhood emotional neglect, complex family dynamics and long-term invalidation.
-
are questioning their identity, self-worth or are feeling either“too much” or “not enough”.
-
have been living across cultures or countries, exploring belonging, migration, “in-between” experiences and making sense of their unique story.
