Are you managing your life rather than living it? Perhaps things look fine on the outside while inside you feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure how much of this is really yours. It might show up in relationships, in intimacy, at work, or in a growing sense that this is not the life you meant to have. I'm a BACP-Accredited therapist and coach specialising in addiction, codependency and self-esteem. Both addiction and the habit of people pleasing or managing everyone else are usually solutions to something older. Working with the root causes is where change tends to last.

Drinking too much, working too hard, keeping everyone else afloat: these are usually solutions to something older rather than the problem itself. Shame, early relationships that asked you to be someone else, a sense that you were only acceptable if you behaved 'properly'. The anxiety, low mood and burnout come from the same place. We'll work there, not just on the surface, so that change actually lasts. I'll bring warmth and directness in equal measure. My job isn't to fix you, but to help you make sense of your own history and decide what you want to do with it.

Book a free 20-minute chat through my website and we can talk about what's going on, how I work, and whether we're a good fit. No obligation to book anything after it. If it isn't right, I'll say so, and I'll point you towards someone else.
