Things can get messy.

Sometimes there is one clear thing bringing you to therapy and sometimes life has become tangled and it is hard to know where to begin. You do not need a diagnosis, a defined problem or an explanation of what is going on. We can talk about identity, grief and loss, family dynamics, relationships and separation, changing bodies and life stages, major transitions and the moments when you are trying to work out what comes next.

If you are rebuilding after domestic and family violence, coercive control or a relationship that has worn down your sense of self, safety or confidence, therapy can offer space to make sense of what happened, reconnect with your own judgement and begin rebuilding on your terms.

Therapy can give you somewhere separate from family, school and everyday expectations to work out what you think, feel and need. You do not need to have everything figured out before you come in. We can talk about identity, gender and sexuality, belonging, friendships, family dynamics, changing bodies, self understanding and the pressures that can come with growing into yourself.

You are my client, so your privacy and autonomy matter. Parents or caregivers are not routinely told what we discuss and their involvement is not automatic. Before booking, there is a brief suitability enquiry so I can make sure counselling with me is the right fit and clarify any consent or caregiver involvement that may be needed.
