Mental ill-health is as individual as you are. Some of the areas I can offer support in are....
Depression
Depression can feel all-consuming like you’re trying to battle through life constantly. Working together, we can uncover the patterns and systems that entrap us in depressive cycles and how we can navigate these.
Psychosexual Functioning
My practice is sex-positive and judgement-free. I welcome working with couples and individuals who are experiencing sexual difficulties. However you identify, we can work together around any issues that are impeding your sex life, whether this be a breakdown in a sexual relationship(s), loss of desire, painful intercourse, erectile dysfunction or sexual identity.
Anxiety
Since the pandemic, anxiety has been on the increase. We hold anxiety throughout our bodies. It permeates our thoughts and can debilitate us. Working together, we can start to understand how anxiety impacts us and formulate strategies to help manage the intense knots that form within us.
Self-Esteem
How we feel about ourselves can encompass a range of things, such as our identity, self-confidence, sense of belonging and how we navigate the world around us. Together we can explore your sense of self and identity in a safe and non-judgmental space.
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma permeates all aspects of our lives. Its impact is felt within our bodies. Sensory reminders and flashbacks can trigger our ‘alarm’ systems. I have years of experience working with survivors, and I recognise the importance of listening to your narrative without judgment and working at your pace as we navigate the difficulties you are experiencing.
Pain Management
I work with pain management from a psychological and environmental perspective, exploring the barriers present in society to stop us from moving freely within it. I incorporate work around sleep, weight management, movement, relationships, and how we relate to our bodies. I welcome clients who are struggling with chronic, persistent pain.
