Therapist in Shoreditch, Hackney

Therapy for people who lose themselves.

You care about people. But sometimes you forget to care for yourself. Perhaps you struggle to show your anger. Perhaps you say yes when you want to say no. Maybe there’s a habit that you can’t kick. Or something happened, and it’s hard to move past.

And perhaps now, you’re struggling.

However it shows up for you, please give me a call.

I work with people who lose themselves, at work, in relationships and in life.

It’s the nurse who always says yes to the extra shift.
It’s the high-flyer who struggles to clock off.
It’s the boyfriend who bites his tongue.
It’s 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. Some days, it might feel like you disappear. You might feel stressed or burnt out; underappreciated in relationships. 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.

How it can show up

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

Even though you’re so tired, you can’t stop taking on more. You’ve stopped making plans ‘just in case’. The one thing you need is what you cannot do: rest.

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 have happened. You had to hide it away, but perhaps part of you was hidden too.

Growing up LGBT+

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.

Fear of the future

It’s becoming hard to imagine a future. Ambitions seem pointless because the world is not stable enough to support them. The future feels bad and it’s darkening the present.

Imagine resting, without the constant drumbeat of demands and tasks.
Imagine being fully honest with your loved ones, without the fear of what comes next.
Imagine disappointing someone, sitting with the feeling of it, and realising that you are OK. And perhaps they are too.

This is what we can work towards, together.

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.
