Therapy for When You Feel Stuck, Overwhelmed, or No Longer Like Yourself
Do you find yourself overthinking everything, struggling in relationships, or feeling disconnected from who you used to be?

Perhaps you appear to be coping on the outside, but internally you feel anxious, exhausted, lost, or emotionally overwhelmed.

You may understand what is happening in your life but still find yourself repeating the same patterns, reacting in ways you don’t fully understand, or struggling to move forward.

Maybe you’ve spent years putting other people first, keeping the peace, holding everything together, or telling yourself that things “aren’t that bad” — while quietly feeling unhappy, disconnected, or exhausted.

If this sounds familiar, therapy can offer a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin understanding yourself with greater compassion.

Who I Work With
I work with adults who may be struggling with:

Anxiety, overthinking and social anxiety — constantly worrying, second-guessing yourself, or feeling uncomfortable around others.

Low self-esteem and self-worth — feeling “not good enough,” being highly self-critical, or constantly comparing yourself to others.

Relationship difficulties — struggling with boundaries, people-pleasing, conflict, trust, intimacy, or repeatedly finding yourself in painful relationship patterns.

Childhood experiences and attachment wounds — recognising that experiences from the past may still be affecting how you feel, think and relate to others today.

Depression and low mood — feeling numb, hopeless, unmotivated, disconnected, or as though you’re simply going through the motions.

Emotional overwhelm and burnout — feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted from constantly trying to cope.

Grief and loss — finding it difficult to process a loss or adjust to life after a significant change.

Feeling lost or disconnected — knowing that something isn’t right but struggling to understand what you need or where to go next.

Suicidal thoughts — offering a compassionate, non-judgemental space to talk openly about thoughts and feelings that may feel frightening or difficult to share elsewhere.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy.

You don’t even need to know exactly what’s wrong.

Sometimes, knowing “I don’t feel like myself anymore” is enough of a reason to reach out.

You May Be Someone Who…
You might be the person everyone else relies on. You may be capable, caring, responsible and successful, yet privately struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, loneliness or emotional exhaustion.

You may have become very good at functioning while not actually feeling okay.

Perhaps you find yourself:

Overthinking conversations long after they’ve happened
Worrying about what other people think of you
Finding it difficult to say no or set boundaries
Putting other people’s needs before your own
Feeling guilty when you prioritise yourself
Struggling to trust people or let them get close
Becoming overwhelmed by your emotions
Being extremely hard on yourself
Repeating relationship patterns that you don’t understand
Feeling disconnected from your identity or sense of purpose
Knowing you want something to change but not knowing how
Therapy can help you understand why you respond the way you do, where these patterns may have come from, and what you can begin to do differently.

My Approach
I am an Integrative Counsellor, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on who you are, what you’re experiencing and what you want from therapy.

My work incorporates:

Person-Centred Therapy — creating a warm, accepting and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your experiences openly.

Psychodynamic Therapy — exploring the deeper emotional patterns, relationships and past experiences that may be influencing your life today.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) — understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and developing more helpful ways of responding to difficulties.

I don’t believe therapy should be about putting you into a box or following a rigid formula.

You are not a diagnosis. You are a person with a story.

Our work together will be collaborative and tailored to you. We can focus on what’s happening in your life now, explore experiences from the past where they are relevant, and work towards creating meaningful change for the future.

A Safe Space to Be Honest
I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of effective therapy.

My aim is to offer a space where you don’t have to pretend you’re okay, minimise what you’re experiencing, or worry about being judged.

You can bring the parts of yourself that you might normally hide — the anger, sadness, fear, confusion, shame, uncertainty or vulnerability.

I bring warmth, honesty, compassion and integrity to my work, while also being willing to gently challenge you when this may help you move forward.

Therapy isn’t about telling you how to live your life.

It’s about helping you understand yourself well enough to make choices that feel more authentic to you.

If You’ve Been Thinking About Therapy for a While…

Taking the first step can feel daunting.

You may be wondering:

“Will I feel comfortable talking to someone?”

“What if I don’t know what to say?”

“Is what I’m experiencing really serious enough for therapy?”

“What if I get emotional?”

There is no pressure to have the answers.

I offer a no-obligation initial video or phone call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and decide whether I feel like the right therapist for you.

You don’t have to commit to ongoing therapy simply because you’ve made contact.

Qualifications & Experience
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I hold a Higher National Diploma in Social Work and have previous experience working within the NHS through Talk Wandsworth, as well as at The Awareness Centre in Tooting.

In my private practice, I offer face-to-face and online therapy, supporting adults from a wide range of backgrounds with different emotional and psychological difficulties.

You Don’t Have to Keep Feeling This Way
You may have spent a long time trying to manage everything on your own.

You may have told yourself that you’ll feel better when life becomes less stressful, when the relationship improves, when work settles down, or when you finally “get yourself together.”

But sometimes, the same patterns continue because something deeper needs to be understood.

Therapy can be the beginning of that understanding.

If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, or simply know that something needs to change, you’re welcome to get in touch.

You don’t need to know exactly what you need from therapy.
