About me

If anxiety or stress are affecting your daily life, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with describe waking up with a tight chest, struggling to switch off their thoughts, or feeling pressure to hold everything together even when they’re exhausted inside.

I’m Thierry, an integrative therapist specialising in stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm and life transitions. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can explore your feelings at your own pace and begin to reconnect with a calmer, more grounded version of yourself.

Therapy is your journey — and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

How I Work — A Therapy Tailored to You

No two people are the same, so no two therapy plans should be either. I use a pluralistic, integrative approach, combining the most helpful elements of different therapeutic models to suit your unique needs.

My approach brings together:

Humanistic therapy — a gentle, person‑centred space where you set the pace
Psychodynamic therapy — understanding how past experiences shape present emotions
CBT — practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours
Somatic and mindfulness‑based work — calming the nervous system
Hypnotherapy, IEMT, EFT/Tapping & NLP — for deeper subconscious and emotional change
Coaching — building confidence, motivation and forward momentum
This blend helps you feel better now while creating long‑term emotional resilience.

What We Can Work On Together

I support clients with a wide range of challenges, including:

  • Anxiety, panic and overthinking
  • Stress and burnout
  • Low self‑esteem and self‑confidence
  • Anger, frustration and emotional overwhelm
  • Grief, loss and life transitions
  • OCD, perfectionism and intrusive thoughts
  • Phobias and fears
  • Relationship patterns and attachment wounds
  • Support for carers
  • Support for individuals with acquired brain injuries

Whether you’re feeling stuck, lost, or simply in need of a safe space to talk, therapy can help you reconnect with clarity and strength.

Who I Work Best With

I’m a good fit for you if:

  • You’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed or emotionally stretched
  • You want a therapist who is warm, grounded and non‑judgmental
  • You prefer a collaborative approach rather than being “talked at”
  • You want both emotional support and practical tools
  • You’re ready to understand yourself more deeply and make meaningful changes

If this sounds like you, we’ll work well together.
