Your Story Matters

You Are Not Alone on the Journey from Struggle to Meaning

 How You May Be Feeling:

  • Low self-worth and inner criticism
  • Debilitating guilt, shame, anger, or deep sadness
  • Feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected from your true self
  • Life feels empty or lacking a clear sense of purpose
  • Struggling to access or express your emotions clearly


Relationship Patterns and Difficulties:

  • Repeating patterns of destructive or unhealthy relationships
  • Difficult or strained relationships with parents
  • Experience of bullying or misuse of power from parents or others


Childhood Experiences:

  • Emotional or physical abuse in childhood
  • Childhood sexual abuse
  • Witnessing domestic abuse or family violence as a child
  • Emotionally unavailable parents during childhood, particularly during critical developmental periods
  • Confusing or painful family breakup in childhood
  • Discovering in childhood or adolescence that you are neurodivergent, gay, trans, or otherwise ‘different’ 


Adult Trauma and Life Changes:

  • Trauma and abuse in adult relationships
  • Grief from past loss or suicide of someone close, even if it was long ago
  • Significant life transitions and identity shifts: 
    • Young adulthood and challenges growing into independence
    • Navigating becoming single after relationship breakdown
    • Coping with children leaving home, or struggling with decisions around having or not having children
    • Mid-life uncertainty or crisis
    • Retirement and adjusting to a new phase of life 


Professional Challenges and Trauma:

  • Experiencing trauma, stress, or burnout related to your professional role, particularly if you work or have worked in these areas (discounts available):  
    • Armed forces
    • Police
    • Emergency services (paramedics, firefighters, medical professionals)
    • Social work and mental health services
    • Humanitarian or aid organisations
  • Struggling with pressures related to high achievement or professional success: 
    • Overworking and difficulty establishing a healthy work-life balance
    • Persistent feelings of dissatisfaction or emptiness despite outward success
    • Fear of failure or of being discovered as an ‘impostor’


Experiences of Oppression and Exclusion:

  • Facing discrimination, prejudice, or being marginalised in your life
  • Feeling oppressed or misunderstood by societal institutions or powerful groups


If any part of this speaks to you, you don’t have to face it alone. Reaching out can feel daunting, especially when you’ve carried so much for so long—but it can also be the first step toward something new. Whatever you’ve been through, your story matters. I offer a safe, compassionate space where we can begin to explore it together, at your pace. Healing takes time, and it begins with connection. If you're ready, or even just curious, my invitation to you is to get in touch now, so we can begin this journey together.
