Therapeutic Support
When you’re in the thick of one of life’s storms, a kind and empathic ear can bring you the space and clarity you need in order to take the next step forward.
Sometimes this looks like talking and processing.
Sometimes this looks like detective work- piecing together or unravelling your current situation.
Sometimes this looks like building practical strategies to get life moving again.
My aim is to create a safe space in order for us to clarify what’s getting in the way of what you ultimately want, and how to get there.
My therapeutic work combines counselling skills with the broader perspective of occupational therapy. Together, we can explore what's getting in the way of your wellbeing and functioning and identify practical ways forward.
I can help with
- anxiety and chronic stress
- low mood and depression
- trauma and its effects on everyday life
- grief and significant life changes
- overwhelm and emotional difficulties
- sensory sensitivities and overload
- ADHD/ASD-related functional challenges
- difficulties with routines, relationships or boundaries
- reduced confidence or participation following difficult experiences
- challenges returning to or maintaining work
A practical, occupational approach
Occupational therapy looks at the whole picture — the person, their environment, their responsibilities and the things they need and want to be able to do.
This means our work may include talking and reflection, but it may also involve practical strategies, routines, sensory approaches, behavioural experiments, goal-setting, environmental changes or planning for participation in everyday life.
