Working With Adults

Anxiety, at its core, is a natural response designed to protect us from perceived threats. Often, anxiety is seen as a hostile force, something to be fought against or eradicated. However, by reframing the relationship and treating anxiety as something to be understood, we can reduce the intensity of its grip on our lives. Within each of us is the power to transform anxiety and take back control and live more in the way that we want to. 

I use several evidence based tools & techniques that will help us to get to the root cause and work through anxiety to develop an empowering and positive outlook on life. I assist with:

• General Anxiety Concerns
• Social and situational anxiety e.g. places, events or gatherings or activities
• Specific issues e.g. travelling, work anxiety or exam stress

Depression and low moods can feel overwhelming, like a heavy cloud that dims life’s joy and motivation. Depression often stems from unprocessed emotions, unmet needs or prolonged stress, signalling that certain aspects of our lives need attention and care. 

By understanding the underlying causes and reframing how we approach these feelings, we can begin to loosen their hold and reclaim a sense of vitality and purpose. Our goal is to cultivate resilience, self-compassion and a renewed, positive outlook on life.

I use a trauma-informed approach and I am committed to creating a safe and healing space for my clients to process and overcome the impact of both "big T" or "little T" traumas. For more information about trauma, you can read my article here. 

Anyone can suffer trauma, whether this is a single incident (PTSD) or from childhood trauma. 

I support clients with the following:

• Abuse - Emotional, Physical, Sexual
• Childhood, Chronic & Complex trauma (C-PTSD)
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Domestic abuse and violence 
• Self-harm 
• Grief/bereavement 
• Transport accidents 

Whether you’re dealing with general low self-esteem or a specific issue, together we’ll create a tailored approach to help you overcome self-doubt, not feeling good enough or worth/deserving, build confidence and develop a positive, empowered mindset. 

Along the way, you’ll learn strategies to manage negative self-talk and that critical voice, gain a deeper understanding of your worth, and foster lasting inner confidence. 

I assist with:

• Building self-confidence
• Overcoming limiting beliefs
• Improving self-image
• Reducing feelings of inadequacy

ADHD can feel like a whirlwind of distraction, restlessness and frustration, often making everyday tasks seem overwhelming and unmanageable. Together, we’ll work to understand these challenges and explore practical, personalised strategies to manage them effectively. 

We will look at key areas such as:

• Inattention, hyperactivity & impulsivity
• Difficulties with organisation & focus
• Time management 
• Emotional regulation

Our goal is to foster a sense of self-awareness, focus, and confidence, helping you to build a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and genuinely aligned with your strengths and aspirations.

Using well-researched techniques like Hypnotherapy, CBT, and EMDR, I can help you break free from unwanted behaviours and create lasting, healthier habits in just 3-4 sessions.

We will explore the reasons behind your behaviours, reprocess any emotional blocks, and replace those habits with positive alternatives. Sessions will include a guided hypnotherapy recording for continued support between visits. Here’s what we can work on together:

• Nail-biting, unhealthy snacking
• Social anxiety 
• Fears (animals, flying, heights, needles)

Additional sessions can be provided if needed.
