People sometimes ask me what kind of therapy I do and what actually happens in a session.
Many people come to therapy at a time when life feels too heavy, confusing, or overwhelming. You may feel stuck in patterns you cannot seem to change, repeating the same difficulties in relationships, work, or within yourself. Sometimes, you might carry a lot on your own, not wanting to burden those close to you, or feeling that others would not fully understand what is happening inside.
As a TA therapist, I offer a supportive, warm, and reflective space. I work with adults who wish to understand themselves more deeply, explore the impact of past experiences, and discover new ways of relating to themselves and others. You do not have to be in crisis to start therapy—sometimes, the wish to feel more alive, more at peace, or more like yourself is enough.
Together, we notice the patterns we sometimes find ourselves repeating. We take time to look at these patterns together, gently and without judgment. We explore what you learned earlier in life about love, safety, closeness, or acceptance.
When we approach these patterns with compassionate curiosity rather than self-criticism, new possibilities start to emerge, and you begin to realise that you have more choices in how you respond.
In therapy, I am interested not only in what you are experiencing, but also in how you perceive yourself in relationships, as these insights can sometimes show up in therapy too. Paying attention to this can help us understand more deeply what you need and what might have been missing in the past.
Since our relational traumas can be stored in the body, I pay attention not only to your words but also to the emotional and physical responses that may emerge during therapy. This helps us notice experiences that are difficult to put into words. Ultimately, we start to create new perspectives and insights together.
Over time, this work can help you feel more secure in yourself, more emotionally steady, and more able to build the relationships you want. Clients often tell me they feel more like themselves, less driven by old fears, and freer to make decisions that truly reflect who they are today. Therapy is not about changing who you are. It is about helping you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have had to stay hidden, so that you can live with more clarity, confidence and self-trust.
