What's My Approach to Therapy?

If you’re used to being the one who holds everything together, you may be feeling exhausted, stuck, or quietly disconnected from yourself. Maybe you’ve spent years prioritising others’ needs, managing expectations, or avoiding conflict, only to find that anxiety, guilt, or grief keeps showing up no matter how hard you try. You might be wondering why things feel so heavy or why it’s so difficult to know what you want.

I help people who identify as people-pleasers, helpers, and peacekeepers begin to reconnect with themselves. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that many of the patterns you’re struggling with once served an important purpose. Together, we work to understand how those patterns developed, how they continue to shape your relationships and decisions, and how to create change without pushing or forcing yourself.

This work is personal for me. After losing my mother at a young age, I learnt to survive by staying strong and minimising my own needs. Over time, I came to see that what looked like personality traits were actually protective strategies. My own healing taught me that meaningful change happens through awareness, safety, and self-compassion, not self-criticism.

In therapy, you can expect a space that feels supportive, thoughtful, and steady. We move at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on emotional awareness, regulation, and practical tools for setting boundaries, navigating relationships, and making choices that align with your values. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself so you can move through life with greater clarity and intention.
