What to Expect From Therapy
Therapy with me is a calm, consistent space where you don’t have to hold everything together. It’s a place to slow down, breathe, and explore the emotional patterns that sit underneath your anxiety, people-pleasing, boundary struggles, and self-abandoning behaviours.
This work is steady, grounding, and deeply supportive, not rushed or overwhelming. We go at your pace, with compassion and clarity.
How Therapy Works
A Safe Space to Explore What’s Really Going On
In our sessions, you’ll have a confidential, non-judgemental space to talk openly about what’s happening in your life.
We explore how you’re experiencing the world, the thoughts and emotions that feel heavy, and the deeper patterns behind them, especially if you’ve spent years pleasing others or putting yourself last.
This isn’t about blaming the past.
It’s about understanding how your history shaped the anxiety, overthinking, and relationship patterns you’re living with now.
Building Self-Awareness and Seeing Blind Spots
Much of people-pleasing, boundary difficulty, and low self-worth happens outside conscious awareness.
Together, we slow things down so you can:
notice the moments you abandon yourself
understand why “no” feels terrifying
see why certain relationships feel familiar
recognise where anxiety is trying to protect you
understand the emotional rules you learned growing up
Therapy becomes a sounding board, helping you connect the dots you’ve never been able to name.
What Sessions Look Like
Weekly 1 hour online sessions
We meet at the same time each week to create consistency and emotional safety, essential for long-term change.
Attuned, relational conversation
Sessions are warm, reflective, and centred on what you’re feeling and noticing right now.
Exploration, insight, and gentle challenge
Some weeks feel clear and light. Others feel tender or tiring. Both are part of the process.
Real growth happens through steady, honest work, not quick fixes.
A focus on emotional patterns, not just symptoms
We go beyond surface-level anxiety tools to understand why you think, feel, and behave the way you do.
This is how lasting change happens.
The Flow of Therapy
1. Understanding Your Emotional Blueprint
We explore the unspoken rules you grew up with and how they shaped your anxiety, boundary difficulties, and people-pleasing. Many clients say this is the first time their life finally makes sense.
2. Healing Self-Abandonment
You begin reconnecting with your own needs, emotions, and boundaries, the parts of you that were never nurtured.
This is where self-worth starts to grow.
3. Building Boundaries & Emotional Freedom
Together, we create boundaries that feel possible and safe.
Over time, anxiety softens, clarity grows, and you stop organising your life around other people’s expectations.
How Therapy Helps
With consistent support, you can:
calm anxiety
stop people-pleasing
build confident boundaries
understand your emotional patterns
choose healthier relationships
feel more grounded and connected to yourself
trust your own voice
stop abandoning yourself
You’re not “too much”, “too sensitive”, or “too anxious”.
You’re someone who learned to survive without the emotional support you deserved, and therapy helps you gently unlearn those old patterns.
