Face to Face and Walk & Talk Psychotherapy from Frodsham and Chester for Individuals and Couples

Individual therapy
Individual therapy is a space that’s just for you.
My approach centres on stepping into your world with empathy, seeking to truly understand your experiences and help you connect with your sense of self. You can expect honest trust and support, where you feel genuinely heard and valued.
We will pay attention not only to what you say but the patterns, beliefs and experiences that might be shaping how you feel day to day. From there we can connect some dots, and work out what moving forward looks like for you.
Together we can:
- Reflect, understand and think about different ways to respond to challenges
- Find ways to express yourself more freely
- Explore new perspectives on behaviours, emotions and relationships
- Increase self-awareness and self-compassion
- Gain clarity on confusing or ongoing difficulties
- Strengthen boundaries
- Reduce stress
- Untie relationship "knots" and patterns
- Develop a deeper sense of wellbeing
- Learn new strategies to manage difficult emotions
You might look at this list below and think, “That’s a lot.”, but in reality lots of these experiences are deeply connected. You might find that just one line in that list feels uncomfortably familiar, or that many of them feel like your lived experience.
If any do, there is a very good chance we could do meaningful work together.
You may feel …
Identity and self-discovery
...like you're just beginning to understand who you are and a bit unsure how to make sense of life until now
...confused about an aspect of your identity
...like your gender, sexuality, or neurodivergence doesn’t “fit the mould”, or you’re not sure where you belong
...like you’ve outgrown your current life, but feel uncertain about what that means or what might come next
...unsure whether a big decision about work, relationships, family, or identity feels "right"
...as though something inside you is tinkering for change, but you're feeling scared or like you might lose things
...ready to move out of survival mode
...grief for a younger or current version of you that had to hide or be small to stay safe
...a deep longing to feel seen, accepted, and understood for who you are deep down
Neurodivergence, belonging and feeling “othered”
...like you don't quite fit in, or like you are constantly adapting but still feeling different from those around you
...exhausted from always having to explain yourself, and still feeling only partly understood
...like an "outsider" in your family because of your gender identity, sexuality, or neurodivergence
...disconnected from your family, community, or the world
...ashamed or anxious about parts of yourself you've had to hide
...stuck between who you are deep down and who others expect you to be
...like you’ve spent your life masking or performing, and now you're unsure who you are
Family, estrangement & childhood trauma
...troubled by memories of emotional neglect or subtle abuse that others told you “wasn’t that bad"
...like your parents’ voices still live in your head, shaping how you see yourself as an adult
...unsure whether estrangement or distance from family is going to hurt or heal
...angry or frustrated by how your experiences have been dismissed or misunderstood
...like you were never allowed to take up space or have your feelings
...like no one ever saw the version of your parent that you lived with
...resentful of how much energy you still spend trying to predict or manage other people’s emotion
...like you had to perform a role to keep the peace
...exhausted by the internal pressure to be likeable, impressive, or needed
Shame, emotional load and internalised messages
...ashamed of your needs, your intensity, or the ways you’ve tried to cope
...a sense of not being “good enough"
...unsure how to trust your own feelings, instincts, or memories
...as though everyone else got the instruction manual for life, and you didn’t
...just tired of holding it all together, and wanting space to just be
