Therapy Sessions Tailored to Individual Needs

How early relationships and unconscious feelings shape our present behaviour. Helps us explore and work through feelings of deep-rooted shame, hidden emotional patterns, and internalised ‘scripts’; making space for self-awareness, self-compassion and meaningful change.

Drawing, painting, collage, storytelling, poetry and use of metaphor to support emotional exploration and healing. Offers a less pressured alternative to talking when experiences feel overwhelming, complex, or difficult to put into words.

Expressing and exploring lives, relationships, beliefs, values and feelings safely, naturally and without pressure; revealing meaning in the action and metaphor of play. Use of toys and games, sand tray therapy, imaginative and sensory play, music, song, dance, puppets and movement.  

Explores identity, values, meaning, belonging, and the big questions of life; purpose, meaning, uncertainty, fear and death anxiety. For deep-thinking, complex minds that ruminate and struggle with existential, moral or ethical concerns and feel emotionally overwhelmed. 

Helps us feel seen, heard, and accepted just as we are. Focuses on creating a safe, non-judgemental space to encourage self-expression; discover personal goals and values, strengths and one's authentic sense of self. Building trust, supporting self-worth, autonomy and desire for personal growth. 

How we feel in the here and now, with a focus on awareness, embodiment and present-moment experience. Using creativity, role play, and expressive techniques to explore emotions, unmet relational needs and stuck patterns; helping us understand what’s happening inside through what’s happening in the here and now of the session. 

Early and ongoing trauma and adversity; relational, systemic or situational impact the body, brain and sense of self. Sessions are guided by neuroscience and attachment theory; prioritising emotional and physical safety, co-regulation and building trust. Pacing sessions to feel safe and manageable for the client and encouraging autonomy and empowerment. 

Recognises neurodivergence as natural and valid variations of thinking feeling, sensing and relating, rather than aiming to correct or fix traits. Enables clients to feel understood, supported, accepted and valued as they are. Importance is given to individual communication, sensory and processing needs; promoting self-acceptance, autonomy, emotional wellbeing and authentic expression. 

Focuses on the importance of the different stages of social and emotional development that shape our identities, personalities and our relationships. Helps us understand how unmet needs and underdeveloped stages of psychosocial development in earlier life can lead to social, emotional, behavioural and relational difficulties in later life. 

How early relationships shape our sense of self, safety, trust and self-worth. Helps to build secure connections by repairing ruptures, developing co-regulation and creating a consistent and secure emotional base from which we can grow and explore. 

How we make sense of and manage adversity and trauma is impacted by our environments, systems, structures and societies.  Uses questions to explore what has happened to us; how it made us feel, what sense we made of it, and how we learned to survive and shifting focus from “what’s wrong with you?” to “what happened to you and what did you do to survive?” 

How different parts of our identity, such as ethnicity, race, gender, culture, class, income, education, health or disability combine to shape our experiences, and how overlapping inequalities can add to feelings of invisibility, exclusion, shame, or disempowerment.
