Adult Therapy
Life can become overwhelming in ways that are not always visible from the outside. Many adults find themselves coping with persistent anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, emotional exhaustion, self-criticism, or a growing sense that they are no longer functioning in the way they once did. Therapy offers a space to slow down, better understand these experiences, and develop more sustainable ways of coping and relating to yourself.
I work with adults experiencing a range of emotional, psychological, and life challenges, including:
Anxiety and chronic worry
Depression and low mood
Stress and burnout
Perfectionism and high self-expectations
Emotional overwhelm and difficulties with emotional regulation
Relationship difficulties and interpersonal conflict
Self-esteem and identity concerns
Life transitions and adjustment difficulties
Grief and loss
Trauma and adverse life experiences
Emerging or newly recognised neurodivergence
Challenges related to masking, sensory overwhelm, and chronic exhaustion
Difficulties balancing work, caregiving, and personal wellbeing
Many adults seek therapy after years of “holding things together” externally while struggling internally. Others come to therapy during periods of transition — becoming a parent, relationship changes, career stress, burnout, or increasing awareness of long-standing patterns that no longer feel sustainable.
I have a particular interest in supporting adults exploring neurodivergence later in life, including those beginning to recognise traits of ADHD or autism in themselves. For many people, these experiences can become more noticeable during periods of increased life demand, stress, or parenthood.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and neuroaffirming. I aim to create a therapeutic space where clients feel understood, supported, and able to explore their experiences without judgement. Therapy may involve developing practical coping strategies, strengthening emotional insight, improving relationships, processing difficult experiences, and building a more compassionate understanding of yourself.
Seeking support does not mean something is “wrong” with you. Often, therapy provides an opportunity to better understand the ways you have adapted, coped, and carried difficult experiences over time — and to create space for change, healing, and greater wellbeing.
Therapy for Adolescents (16+)
Adolescence is a period of significant emotional, social, and developmental change. As teenagers move toward adulthood, they often face increasing pressures related to identity, friendships, school, family relationships, future expectations, and navigating a growing sense of independence. For some young people, these changes can feel overwhelming, isolating, or difficult to manage alone.
I work with older adolescents to provide a supportive and collaborative space where they can explore challenges, better understand themselves, and develop strategies to cope with difficult emotions and life stressors.
Adolescence can also be a time when neurodivergent traits become more noticeable, particularly as social, academic, and emotional demands increase. Some young people may begin questioning whether ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent experiences help explain long-standing struggles with focus, overwhelm, emotional regulation, social connection, or feeling “different” from peers.
My approach is warm, neuroaffirming, and developmentally sensitive. I aim to create a space where adolescents feel respected, heard, and safe to speak openly without fear of judgement. Therapy may involve building emotional awareness, strengthening coping strategies, improving self-understanding, navigating relationships, and supporting confidence during an often complex stage of life.
I also recognise the important role that parents and caregivers play in supporting adolescents. Where appropriate, therapy can include collaboration with families to strengthen understanding, communication, and support around a young person’s emotional wellbeing.
