Practice description
Do you experience loud critical voices in your head? Do you make yourself smaller, to take up less space? Do you find yourself reliving a memory, as if it were happening now?
Living like this can leave us feeling alone, anxious and stressed. It can make us feel like we’re the problem, we’re wrong. Or leave us feeling torn between identities – expectations of relationships or societal pressures against how we truly feel inside.
I offer you a place that is safe and accepts you as you. A place to talk about what you’re going through, practice skills to support your mental wellbeing, and explore how the many aspects of your identity intersect to make you uniquely you.
Wherever you’re at, we’ll go at your pace. I use a blend of talking, learning skills, mindfulness and creativity but we can adapt what we do so it works for you.
