Practice Areas.
Unrelenting Standards & Perfectionism
You strive to achieve and to prove your worth, yet it never feels like enough. The same high standards that once fuelled your success can quietly erode confidence, masking exhaustion as discipline. Together, we’ll explore where these patterns began and build self-compassion and balance, finding fulfilment in progress rather than perfection.
Dating & Relationships
You might find yourself craving connection but pulling back when it starts to feel real. Together, we’ll explore the fears and expectations that make closeness feel risky or uncertain. Therapy helps you ease the pressure on dating, build security in relationships, and find connection that feels genuine.
Neurodiversity & Emotional Sensitivity
I offer individualised support for ADHD, autism, and other neurodiverse profiles, where difficulties with attention, regulation, and sensory processing often intersect with high expectations and complex environments. Our work focuses on developing strategies that honour how your mind works while nurturing emotional balance and healthy relationships.
OCD, Control, and Compulsivity
Life can swing between control and escape — holding everything together, then seeking relief through compulsions, overdoing, or avoidance. Together, we explore what drives this cycle and work toward a steadier rhythm, where effort and ease can coexist without shame, guilt or anxiety.
Substance Use, Food & Body Image
When control slips, relief often comes through familiar habits — a drink to unwind, a binge to escape, a workout to regain control. It helps for a moment, then guilt or self-criticism takes over. In therapy, we make sense of these cycles and the emotions beneath them, finding steadier ways to soothe, nourish, and care for yourself without fear of losing control.
Confidence & Boundaries
You might find it easy to support others but harder to express your own needs without guilt or tension. At times you hold back to keep the peace; other times, frustration builds and you feel rigid or uncompromising. In therapy, we use structured, evidence-based CBT to strengthen confident, flexible communication — helping you express needs and boundaries clearly and calmly.
Burnout & Exhuastion
You’ve carried pressure for so long that slowing down feels unsafe. Even when you’re depleted, you keep going — driven by responsibility or the fear of letting others down. Burnout isn’t a weakness; it’s your body’s way of signalling it’s at capacity. Together, we’ll restore balance, ease the guilt around rest, and rebuild a more sustainable rhythm and energy.
Existential Anxiety
At times, it can seem as if everyone else is moving forward while you remain stuck — uncertain about choices, time, and what really matters. Our work together focuses on understanding these doubts and reconnecting you with your values, direction, and meaning, so you can live with a greater sense of ease and purpose.
