People come to therapy for many reasons: relationships that keep repeating, anxiety or self-criticism that won’t let up, unprocessed grief that won’t let go, questions about identity or direction, or difficulties with sex, intimacy and desire.
Sometimes underneath these difficulties is a more elusive feeling: that adult life hasn’t quite matched the promise of earlier years, whether that promise came from exceptional achievement, early recognition, or simply a strong sense of who you were going to become.
That gap can show up in patterns you find yourself circling at 3am, in relationships, in the way you think about yourself, or in a sex life complicated by shame, fear, pain or disconnection.
The work is about finding what is genuinely available to you now, rather than trying to recover what has been lost. We work carefully, at a pace that feels manageable, towards greater freedom and choice.

Getting started
You don’t need to know exactly what you want from therapy before getting in touch.
I offer a free 20-minute initial meeting so that you can tell me a little about what has brought you here, ask any questions you have, and get a sense of whether working together might be useful.
