People sometimes ask me what kind of therapy I do and what actually happens in a session.
There are times in life when things can feel overwhelming, confusing, or simply too much to carry alone. You may feel stuck in relationships, or have a quiet sense that something isn’t quite right within yourself. Often, people come to therapy when they’ve been holding a lot inside, without feeling able to share it elsewhere.
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. Ultimately, 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 tactfully explore what you learned earlier in life about love, safety, closeness, or acceptance.
When we approach these patterns with openness and 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 our sessions, I may be interested not only in what you are experiencing but also in how you perceive yourself in relationships, as these insights can sometimes emerge during therapy. Paying attention to this can help us understand more deeply what you need and what might have been missing in the past.
Because relational trauma can be held in the body, I also attend to your emotional and physical responses as they arise during our work together. This can gently bring awareness to experiences that are hard to articulate, allowing new insights and perspectives to emerge.
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 isn't about changing who you are. It's about helping you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have needed to stay hidden, so you can live more meaningfully and experience peace, clarity, and self-trust.
