If you experience yourself in any of the following ways of being -

• creative, intuitive and imaginative

• curious about yourself and the world you are part of

• preferring alternative and non-standard approaches to life

• neurodivergent: either self-identifying or with a formal diagnosis

• of a sensitive nature: experience emotions deeply, if you show them or not

• interested in holistic perspectives: integrating the ‘big-picture’ with nuanced detail

I can offer you a supportive space in which to be heard, accepted, valued and understood

Are you struggling with?

• anxiety, low-mood and/or depression

• overwhelm, burnout and/or chronic illness

• low confidence, low self-esteem and/or identity issues

• difficulties with interpersonal boundaries and relationships

• creative blocks or frustration

• grief (relational, creative, moral, ecological)

• life’s uncertainties and existential concerns

• managing transitional stages of life, and/or change

• difficulties finding direction, purpose or meaning

• focus, attention and managing life’s daily practicalities

• perfectionism, procrastination and ‘boom/bust’ cycles of activity

• a sense of internal conflict and contradiction, in terms of drive and desire

• Feeling chronically misunderstood and isolated, being ‘different’ or an ‘outsider’

• struggles related to being neurodivergent in an unsupportive environment (autism, ADHD, AuDHD, dyslexia and others)

Are you interested in?

• personal and creative development

• finding connections and patterns in life

• philosophical thought and ideas

• exploring and clarifying your own values; what makes a ‘good life’ in your view

• finding ways to live with life’s injustices without becoming apathetic or sliding into passive nihilism

• finding ways to make positive contributions to the world that are within your capacity and related to your talents

If any of the above are familiar, together, we can work to help you to

• deepen your understanding of yourself, your relationships and the world you are part of

• identify and clarify patterns in your ways of being, attachment and relational style: understanding their historical roots as established in core early-life relationships, as well as across your intergenerational-family history

• understand how your nervous system has adapted to try to protect you and if this is helpful to you or not: exploring ways to self-sooth and regulate, as best suit you as an individual

• identify your needs, and develop your sense of and defend your boundaries

• develop self-compassion and self-valuing

• Identify, uncover and develop internal and external supports

• develop strategies to navigate daily challenges, based on a ‘what works best for your specific ways of being’ approach

• connect to your strengths and qualities

• learn to draw upon the supports and your qualities to help you take action, based upon your growing awareness

• grieve the losses of what was, is and what was not-there-but-wanted/needed, aspart of your lived experience

• develop discernment of what can be changed and what cannot: finding ways to take meaningful actions on what can be changed, and finding the capacity and grace to practice radical acceptance and ‘letting go’ of what cannot be changed

• develop ways to be more in the moment, value and celebrate the small wins and pleasures in life

• begin to uncover a deeper sense of authenticity; build towards long-term personal growth, development and transformation, with the aim to find a greater sense of balance and peace within yourself, in relationship to others and the world you are part of
