Gentle
Awakenings

Therapy for people who feel overwhelmed, wired differently, or shaped by experiences that are hard to name.

You are not too much,
and you are not broken

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are hard to shift, or unsure why things feel so difficult on the inside.

 

This can show up as anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, disconnection, or a sense of not quite being able to keep up with life.

 

Often there is a feeling of carrying too much, or of not fully recognising yourself in how you are living.

Therapy is a space to slow down, make sense of your experience, and begin to build a different relationship with yourself.

Let’s begin a conversation

Whether you have questions about my approach or are wondering if this work is right for you, you’re welcome to get in touch – I'm here to listen.

Gentle Awakenings
Counselling & Psychotherapy

Awaken to life with presence and purpose

Feel free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

...you were more marvelous in your simple wish to find a way than the gilded roofs of any destination you could reach:

as if, all along, you had thought the end point might be a city with golden towers, and cheering crowds,
and turning the corner at what you thought was the end of the road, you found just a simple reflection, and a clear revelation beneath the face looking back and beneath it
another invitation, all in one glimpse:

like a person or a place you had sought forever,
like a broad field of freedom that beckoned you beyond;
like another life, and the road still stretching on.
