About me
Are you feeling weighed down by self-doubt, confusion, or emotional pain from a difficult relationship- Whether you’ve experienced a narcissistic partner, a controlling friend, or even an overbearing colleague or boss, the effects of a toxic relationship can linger long after it ends. It’s not uncommon to feel isolated, to question your own worth, or to wonder how you can move forward. Therapy provides a path to healing and regaining your sense of self. In a safe, supportive space, we’ll explore the experiences and emotions you carry, working together to help you rebuild your confidence, recognise your inherent value, and develop the boundaries and resilience you need to thrive. Whether you’re healing from a narcissistic relationship or navigating the effects of emotional manipulation, therapy can help you reclaim your sense of self, so that you can start living your life again, the way that you want to. Finding Relief from Insomnia and Restless Nights Emotional stress and life’s challenges can often lead to restless nights, racing thoughts, and a constant struggle to find sleep. If you’re lying awake, feeling the effects of exhaustion and wondering how to break free from the cycle, therapy offers tools that can help. Together, we’ll work to uncover the stressors or thought patterns that might be contributing to your sleep issues, and develop lasting solutions that go beyond quick fixes. Therapy for sleep concerns is about finding genuine, restful sleep and helping you build a balanced life. Imagine waking up refreshed and with the clarity and calm to face each day. Through our work, you’ll gain techniques for calming your mind, managing stress, and re-establishing a natural, peaceful sleep pattern. Therapy for Lasting Change Wherever you are on your journey, you deserve a life that feels peaceful, balanced, and authentically yours. Therapy offers a way forward, providing you with the insights and tools you need to reclaim your well-being.
