Most of what we struggle with as adults was learned long before we had a say in it.

It’s why the same kind of partner keeps appearing, the same tension builds at work, and the same argument comes round at home, however well we understand it.

Therapy with another person, in a room or on a screen, gives us a chance to name those patterns, understand what sits beneath them, and work through them. It isn’t an intellectual exercise. It is felt and relational, and it often reaches further than people expect.

There is rarely one explanation for why we struggle, or for what helps us change. We are shaped by biology and biography, Where it helps, I bring in what I know about the nervous system, gut health and lifestyle.
