Are we a good fit?

F inding a therapist who feels safe and aligned matters. Therapy tends to work best when both people understand how the work will be held, paced, and bounded. 

​

This page is here to help you decide whether my way of working feels like a good fit for you.

​

My approach, briefly

​

I work in a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming way, with a particular focus on eating difficulties, over-control, and patterns shaped by long-term stress or trauma.

​

The work is collaborative and paced to what your nervous system can tolerate, rather than pushed by external expectations. I draw on CBT, EMDR, and structured trauma work, but the focus is on understanding why patterns developed and supporting change that feels sustainable rather than forced.

​

Therapy here is intentional and boundaried. I don’t offer quick fixes, rigid programmes, or open-ended therapy by default.

​

This work tends to suit people who:

​

• are open to gentle challenge and reflection

• want to understand their patterns, not just manage symptoms

• can tolerate some uncertainty and complexity

• value clear, respectful boundaries

• see therapy as a collaborative process rather than something done to them

• are willing to engage thoughtfully between sessions, at a pace that feels manageable

​

You don’t need to feel “ready” or have everything figured out, curiosity and honesty matter more than confidence.

​

This may not be the right fit if:

​

• you’re looking for quick solutions or prescriptive answers

• you need frequent reassurance or contact outside sessions

• you want therapy to be unstructured or entirely client-led

• boundaries feel consistently intolerable rather than challenging

• you’re seeking crisis-level or intensive support

​

This doesn’t mean something is “wrong”, it simply means a different kind of support may be more appropriate right now.

​

A final note

I encourage you to take your time, explore different therapists, and notice how each option feels in your body as well as on paper. The right fit often feels calmer rather than urgent.

​

If this way of working resonates, the next step is usually a clarity or suitability call to explore things further.
