experience positive change
In therapy, you can expect to:
- Talk openly, without needing to filter yourself
- Make sense of patterns that keep repeating
- Learn practical strategies to calm your nervous system
- Feel more confident handling stress, emotions, and relationships
- Leave sessions with clarity
If this resonates, it doesnât mean thereâs something wrong with you.
It usually means youâve been holding a lot for a long time
and havenât had much space to set it down.
Maybe you struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or a constant sense that youâre falling short. Anxiety follows you into moments of rest, guilt shows up when you try to say no, and overwhelm can leave you frozen instead of moving forward.

đ€ We can be serious and human

why book at coffee with counselling?
𧩠Iâm not speaking from a textbook
Iâve been the high-functioning, anxious over-achiever - and the overwhelmed, self-critical, overthinking version too. I understand the pressure to succeed, the guilt of slowing down, and the frustration of feeling scattered or behind. That lived experience shapes how I show up: grounded, compassionate, and real.
