SUPPORT AREAS
What you are carrying, named plainly.
Six areas we work with most often. If yours is not here, write to us and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right service.
Anxiety and low mood
Worry that carries on after the moment has passed. A body that stays on alert, a mind that rehearses conversations, sleep that will not settle. Low mood that makes ordinary tasks feel like a climb.
We look at what the anxiety is protecting you from, then at the pattern that keeps it running — avoidance, checking, reassurance, over-preparation. The work is practical: what to notice, what to try, what to leave alone for now.
Trauma and stress
Something happened that was too much at the time, and the body still responds as if it is happening. Intrusive memory, startle, numbness, or a vigilance that never quite switches off.
Trauma work moves at the pace the nervous system allows. We stabilise first, then work with the memory — including EMDR where it fits — and we do not push towards retelling before you are ready.
Grief and loss
Bereavement, a loss that happened years ago and is still live, pregnancy loss, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a version of your life you expected to have.
Grief is not a problem to be solved on a timetable. We make room for it, work with the parts that have become stuck, and help you carry it alongside the rest of your life.
Relationships and family
Conflict that repeats in the same shape. A partnership that has gone quiet. Family patterns you recognise but cannot step out of. Difficulty with a parent, a child or a sibling.
We work with the pattern between people, not only inside one person. Couple and family sessions are available, as well as individual work on the relationships that shaped you.
Work and life stress
Burnout that rest does not fix. A workload that has become the whole of your life. Relocation, a career change, becoming a parent, or a role that no longer fits.
We separate what is structural from what is yours to change, then work on the part you can actually move — boundaries, recovery, decisions, and the story you tell about what you do.
Self-identity and self-esteem
A quiet conviction that you are behind, or not quite acceptable. Difficulty saying what you want. Confidence that depends entirely on the room you are in.
We work with where that voice came from, how it keeps its authority, and what becomes possible when it loosens. This is slower work, and it is allowed to be.
One area, or several
Most people arrive with more than one thing going on. Anxiety and low mood rarely travel alone, and grief often brings work stress with it. Tell us the whole picture; we will agree where to start rather than trying to work on everything at once.
Formats and channels
Individual work is the core of the service, with couple, family and group formats where they fit. Any area can be worked on by video, phone or written exchange — the channel is your decision, not a clinical hierarchy.
We do not diagnose over a website, and nothing here is a substitute for an assessment. The first conversation is where we work out whether this service is appropriate for you.
