Therapist in Shoreditch, Hackney

You show up for everyone. Except yourself.

You're a caring person. You struggle to see people upset. You say yes when you want to say no. You pay your way, and other people’s. You take on more than you can bear. You never get angry.

And perhaps now, you’re struggling.

If this sounds familiar, give me a call.

In‑person therapy in Shoreditch
£80 per 50‑minute session

I work with people who can put others first, but never themselves.

The nurse who never says no. The manager who apologises before speaking. The boyfriend who always bites his tongue. The social butterfly who loves everyone else’s company but her own.

Somewhere along the way, perhaps you learned that your needs, maybe even your life, were just not as important as other people’s. Saying no, looking after yourself, started to feel self-centred. Selfish, maybe. And so together, we’ll work on being seen, on taking up space; on discovering who you are and showing that to the world.

Here’s what you might be struggling with

People pleasing

A friend suggests Thai for dinner and you say yes, even though you hate Thai. You’re always going to their house, they never come to yours. You don’t quite know where you end and someone else begins.

Stress & Burnout

Your boss asks you to do more and you always say yes. Or perhaps there’s been an organisational mistake and you find yourself taking sole responsibility. You take everything on and now your back is breaking.

Relationships

You find yourself taking care of everyone, except yourself. You can’t bear to see your partner being sad or angry, but when you are, perhaps it’s not met with kindness.

Addictions

You’re doing something and you can’t stop, even though you want to. Perhaps you can hold it together when you’re at work, or with your kids. For other people, you can resist, but not for yourself.

Trauma

Something happened that shouldn't’t have happened. You had to hide it away, but perhaps part of you was hidden too.

LGBT+ people

Growing up, you might have thought something was wrong. You might have felt alone, like there was no one like you. You learned to hide. Even from yourself.

Climate anxiety

Climate change is real. It’s scary. But no one else seems worried. Perhaps you think your problems are trivial in comparison. What right do you have to be upset, or hurt, or happy?

What does therapy look like?

We’ll see each other every week, sometimes more, for 50 minutes. Each session is £80.

The beginning

After our initial call, we’ll schedule a time for our weekly sessions.

The sessions

We’ll talk about whatever you need to. It might be something that’s happened last week, or years ago. Whatever is on your mind, there is space for that.

Where we meet

Usually we’ll meet in my room in Shoreditch. Sometimes, we might meet online.

Confidentiality

Whatever you want to talk about stays between us. This is your space and your time. You don’t need to worry about anyone else.
