Making space for more of you.
Sometimes we’ve held ourselves together for so long.
We forget what it feels like to breathe freely.
Therapy for individuals and couples
Hello, I’m Donna.
Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step.
My aim is to offer a space where you feel able to bring whatever is on your mind without fear of being judged, rushed or needing to have it all worked out.
I believe our emotional lives make sense in the context of our experiences and relationships. Together we can become curious about the patterns that have shaped your life — not to blame the past, but to understand how it continues to influence the present.
“My hope is not that you become someone different — it is that you discover greater freedom to be yourself.”
You are not a problem to be fixed.
Many of the ways we learn to cope begin as ways of protecting ourselves. We adapt to relationships, experiences and environments in ways that help us manage at the time.
But sometimes those same ways of coping can leave us feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed or unsure of who we are.
Therapy can offer a space to understand these patterns with curiosity rather than judgement — and to discover what might be possible when you no longer need to hold yourself together in quite the same way.
I work with people experiencing …
Feeling disconnected from yourself
Anxiety and overthinking
relationship difficulties
developmental trauma
life transitions and loss
low self esteem - self criticism
Perhaps this is where you begin.
Whether you’re seeking therapy as an individual or as a couple, this is a place to understand your experiences , strengthen your relatioships and create the conditions for more of who yu are — and who you are togther — to emerge.
Repeating patterns you understand but can’t seem to change
Putting other people first and losing sight of yourself
Perhaps you’ve found yourself…
Feeling anxious or overwhelmed
Struggling with relationships, boundaries or self-worth
Carrying experiences from the past that still feel present
Or simply knowing that something doesn’t feel right, even when you cant quite explain why.
You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what’s wrong.
We can begin with where you are.
Couples Therapy
understanding what happens between you.
Relationships can become caught in patterns where both people feel unheard, defensive, distant, or stuck.
Couples therapy offers a space to slow those down and begin to understand what is happening beneath the arguments, silences or disconnections.
—
The aim isn’t to decide who is right or wrong, but to help you recognise what each of you brings into the relationship, what gets activated between you , and whether a different way of relating can be possible.
A space to speak honestly.
A Space to listen deeply.
A space to understand together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Starting therapy can bring up questions and uncertainty.
-
Therapy offers a safe, confidential space to explore what’s going on for you. We look at your experiences, patterns, and relationships, helping you make sense of the past ad present so yu can create meaningful change.
-
Sessions are held once weekly to provide consistency and allow us to build a strong therapeutic relationship.
-
That’s completely okay. You don’t need to have the right words. We can start with whatever feels present —a feeling, a situation, or simply “I don’t know”. We’ll go at your pace.
-
There’s no set timeframe. Therapy is individual to you — Some people come for a shorter period, others choose longer-term support. We’ll review this together as the work progresses.
-
We’ll take our time to get to know one another, talk about what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping for. There’s no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with — it’s a space for you.
-
Yes. I offer couples therapy to help partners better understand each other, improve communication and explore the patterns that can develop between them.
Once couples therapy begins, i’m not able to work individually with either partner alongside the couples work. This helps protect the neutrality and trust of the therapeutic relationship and ensures the work remains focused on the relationship between you.

“Here are the most common things people ask. If you have any other questions , please feel free to get in touch — I’m always happy to answer any questions.”
