Therapy shaped around you
Understand your patterns. Make room for your needs.
Overthinking, people pleasing or repeating the same relationship patterns? We can explore why they happen and find ways forward that feel right for you.
I bring together the three approaches below, shaped around your needs and pace. You don’t need to choose one before starting.
01 · SPACE TO BE YOURSELF
Person-centred therapy
Hear your own needs, beneath everyone else’s.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
• You say “it’s fine” when it isn’t.
• You feel guilty for having needs.
• You look for reassurance before trusting yourself.
IN OUR SESSIONS
I’ll help you put words to feelings you usually dismiss and explore what you want, without pressure to keep everyone happy.
HOW THIS MAY HELP
-
More self-trust.
-
Clearer boundaries.
-
Less pressure to earn approval.
02 · UNDERSTAND THE WHY
Psychodynamic therapy
Make sense of patterns that keep returning.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
• A change in someone’s tone feels like rejection.
• You work hard for affection that feels uncertain.
• You know a pattern hurts, but feel pulled back into it.
IN OUR SESSIONS
We’ll explore how earlier relationships and family experiences may shape your reactions now and whether old ways of protecting yourself still serve you.
HOW THIS MAY HELP
-
Understand your triggers.
-
Respond with more choice.
-
Build relationships with more room for your needs.
03 · PRACTISE SOMETHING DIFFERENT
Cognitive behavioural therapy
CBT · Step out of overthinking cycles.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
• You replay conversations or imagine the worst.
• You check messages for reassurance.
• You avoid things because you might get them wrong.
IN OUR SESSIONS
We’ll notice how thoughts, feelings and actions connect, question anxious assumptions and try small, manageable changes between sessions.
HOW THIS MAY HELP
-
Less time caught in worry.
-
More confidence taking action.
-
Practical tools for everyday life.
Different approaches. One focus: you.
For example, if saying no brings guilt, we can explore your needs, understand where the guilt comes from and practise a different response. We’ll keep checking what feels useful to you.
