Grief & Anticipatory Grief

Grief isn’t only about the death of a loved one. You may be grieving a relationship, your health, a change in identity, or a future you expected but now feels uncertain. Grief can feel shocking, exhausting, confusing, or overwhelming — and it can affect you emotionally, physically, and mentally.

In our sessions, I offer you a calm, empathic, and non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings without clichés, pressure, or interruption. Whether your loss has already happened or you’re preparing for it, I support you to process your experiences at your own pace and care for your wellbeing.

Communication

You may find it hard to express your needs, feelings, or boundaries — especially if you’ve experienced conflict, silence, judgement, or manipulation in the past. When communication feels unsafe, thoughts and emotions are often held inside, which can begin to affect your mental and physical wellbeing.

In our sessions, I support you to find your own way of communicating, at a pace that feels manageable for you. As confidence grows, many people begin to express themselves more clearly and calmly — both to themselves and to others — creating healthier boundaries and relationships.

Relationships

Relationships can be supportive and meaningful, but they can also feel confusing, painful, or draining. They show up in many forms — family, friendships, work, and intimate relationships — and are shaped by how we feel, communicate, and connect.

I support you to explore how you relate to others, how you learned to communicate, and how your experiences have shaped your expectations. Together, we gently build understanding, confidence, and healthier ways of connecting.

Neurodiversity

If you’re autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, or experience OCD, you may have felt misunderstood, masked parts of yourself, or struggled to feel accepted.

Therapy offers you a quiet, supportive space to explore your identity, feel safe being yourself, and develop coping strategies that honour your unique neuro-mind. Together, we focus on self-acceptance, confidence, and what genuinely supports you in daily life.

High Functioning Distress

You might appear to cope well on the outside while feeling constantly switched on, hypervigilant, or exhausted inside. This can be linked to trauma, anxiety, grief, stress, or fear. When experiences are left unprocessed, they can continue to feel present and overwhelming.

In our sessions, there’s no need to stay busy, perform, or hold it together. I offer you a safe space to slow down, breathe, and gently explore what you’re carrying — at a pace that feels right for you.

There are many reasons people choose therapy, and many ways I can support you.
You’re welcome to book a free consultation to talk about what’s brought you here and ask any questions you may have.

You don’t need to do this alone 💛
