What should I speak about?

Struggles in relationships can leave you feeling hurt, confused or disconnected. Whether you're navigating conflict, emotional distance, intimacy issues or recovery after betrayal, counselling can help you understand the patterns playing out and explore how to rebuild trust and connection.

Anxiety, low mood, depression or stress can impact every part of your life. You might be feeling overwhelmed, numb or not like yourself. Therapy offers a space to unpack what’s going on underneath and find ways to cope and move forward.

Sex and intimacy can be deeply personal and often difficult to talk about. Whether you’re facing desire differences, shame, painful experiences or exploring kink or identity, this is a safe, non-judgemental space to explore these themes openly.

Parenting can be rewarding but also incredibly challenging. You might be struggling with guilt, burnout, neurodivergent parenting, or feeling like you’ve lost a sense of yourself. Counselling can give you the space to reflect, feel supported and find your voice again.

Finding out about an affair or being the one who has had one can bring up huge emotions — anger, grief, shame and confusion. Therapy can support you in making sense of what’s happened and deciding what comes next, whether as a couple or individually.

Sometimes past experiences continue to affect how you think, feel or relate to others. You may not even see it as trauma, but if something still feels stuck in your body or mind, we can gently explore this. I also offer the Rewind Technique for processing trauma without needing to relive it in detail.

Anxiety can show up in lots of ways — racing thoughts, overthinking, restlessness, panic, or just feeling constantly on edge. You might not always know why you feel anxious, and that can make it even harder. While coping strategies can help in the moment, counselling gives us space to explore why the anxiety is there in the first place. Together, we can gently look at the root of it, understand your triggers, and start to build tools that help you feel more in control.

If you often put others first, say yes when you mean no, or feel guilty for having needs, you might be stuck in a people-pleasing pattern. This can leave you feeling burnt out, resentful or unsure of who you really are. People pleasing usually comes from a need to feel safe, accepted or avoid conflict. In therapy, we can explore where these patterns began and how to start setting boundaries that protect your wellbeing — without the guilt.

Whether you're trying to rebuild after infidelity or struggling with the impact of secrecy or betrayal, counselling can help you make sense of what has happened. These situations are rarely simple, and they often come with intense emotions like anger, shame, confusion and grief. I offer a safe space to explore the experience honestly, understand what it meant for your relationship, and decide what healing or moving forward looks like for you.
