Areas of Focus

What we can work on together

This isn't a checklist to match yourself against — most people who come to therapy are dealing with more than one of these at once, and plenty don't fit neatly into any category. These are simply the areas I have the most experience working with; each links through to more detail.

Grief & Bereavement → A steady, confidential space to process loss. Addiction → A non-judgemental look at drinking, using, or other compulsive patterns. Depression → Persistent low mood, or a sense of being stuck. Anxiety → Worry that won't settle, even when things are objectively fine. Trauma → Past events that still shape how safe the present feels. Neurodiversity → Therapy that starts from how your mind actually works. Sexuality → An affirming space to work through sexuality and orientation. Racial Identity → Working through race and cultural identity without needing to explain the basics first. OCD → Intrusive thoughts and compulsions, understood without shame. Personality Disorders → Long-standing relational and self-image patterns, worked with respectfully. Bipolar & Mood → Support alongside your existing care team with mood episodes and their impact. Suicidal Thoughts → A place to talk honestly about suicidal thoughts, with care and without alarm. Vestibular Conditions → Dizziness, vertigo and balance conditions, often alongside physiotherapy. Dual Diagnosis → Addiction alongside serious psychiatric conditions like psychosis, bipolar, or personality disorders.
