Feeling overwhelmed
There are times in life when it can feel like you’re carrying more than you can manage.
Juggling work, family and caring responsibilities can leave you exhausted. Together we’ll understand what’s contributing to your overwhelm, develop practical strategies to manage stress, and help you reconnect with what matters most.
Therapy can help with
- Emotional exhaustion
- Burnout
- Feeling constantly “on”
- Difficulty coping
- Feeling disconnected from yourself
Anxiety & stress
Anxiety can leave you feeling constantly on edge, overthinking, expecting the worst or struggling to relax.
It can affect your sleep, relationships, work and confidence. Therapy offers a safe space to understand your anxiety, learn practical strategies to manage it, and regain a greater sense of calm and control.
Therapy can help with
- General anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Health anxiety
- Workplace stress
- Social anxiety
- Excessive worry
Trauma & PTSD
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means helping your mind and body process difficult experiences so they no longer hold the same power over your life.
Trauma can leave lasting effects, such as hypervigilance, emotional numbness, overwhelm or avoiding reminders, long after an event. I use evidence-informed approaches, including EMDR where appropriate, tailored to your circumstances and readiness.
Therapy can help with
- PTSD
- Complex trauma
- Childhood trauma
- First responders
- Veterans
- Critical incidents
Grief & loss
There is no right way to grieve.
Grief isn’t limited to losing someone you love. It can also come with relationship breakdowns, health changes, retirement, identity changes or major life transitions. Together, we’ll create a space where you can process your loss, honour your experiences and gradually move towards healing at your own pace.
Therapy can help with
- Bereavement
- Relationship loss
- Life changes
- Anticipatory grief
- Meaning after loss
Life transitions
Life doesn’t always unfold as planned.
Whether you’re adjusting to becoming a parent, children leaving home, a career change, retirement, separation, or simply questioning where life is heading, change can feel unsettling. Therapy can help you gain clarity, strengthen your confidence and navigate change with greater resilience.
Therapy can help with
- Career change
- Parenting
- Empty nest
- Retirement
- Separation
- Identity and purpose
