The Place where healing meets honour
Whether you're navigating the impact of trauma, emotional neglect, burnout, or simply feeling like you’ve lost touch with yourself, our work together can help you move forward. 

Using a shame-informed, neuro-affirming approach, you’ll gain tools to:
  • Reclaim your self-worth and identity
  • Set healthy boundaries and honour your needs
  • Heal from emotional pain and past experiences
  • Reconnect with your internal clarity and confidence
  • Create meaningful change in life, work, and relationships
  • Build a life that reflects your truth.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of alignment?
Maybe you've been signed off from work, college, or university with stress or anxiety. Perhaps low mood or burnout is making it hard to enjoy life, even when things should feel good. Life doesn’t always go the way we hoped; relationships break down, grief arrives unexpectedly, and difficult experiences from the past can quietly shape how we feel, think, and relate to others.

You might be carrying shame, self-doubt, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or those around you, perhaps rooted in trauma, emotional neglect, or complex relationships. Maybe you feel lost, unsure of your values or purpose, or stuck in patterns like silencing your needs or fearing rejection.You might not even know who you are anymore, only that you feel lost, stuck in old patterns, and unsure of what matters to you. 

It’s important to know these are signs of deeper pain, not personal failure.

You are not broken - You’re becoming
This isn’t about 'fixing' yourself, you are not broken. At PLACE TO TALK THERAPIES we will work together as you rediscover your voice, reconnect with your truth, and move towards a more grounded, authentic, and fulfilling life.

Counselling & Psychotherapy

Counselling is often focused on a single issue, such as anxiety, stress, or a life event, helping you gain clarity and coping strategies. Psychotherapy explores complex or longstanding issues like PTSD/C-PTSD, self-worth struggles, or relational patterns, fostering lasting healing and transformation.

More
Therapeutic Coaching

Therapeutic coaching offers individuals a supportive, goal-focused space to explore challenges, build self-awareness, and create meaningful change. It combines therapeutic insight with practical strategies to help you move forward with greater clarity and increased confidence.

More
EMDR

Gently process traumatic memories by using eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to reduce the distress of painful memories. It's proven effective for PTSD, C-PTSD anxiety, and other emotional wounds. EMDR can be used on its own or alongside talking therapy to support deeper emotional healing.

Submit the contact form and I will reply, or send me an email to enquire about my availability.

We will need to arrange a time for a 15-20 minute call to discuss your needs (this is free of charge and usually via WhatsApp videocall). 

During the call, you can give a brief outline of what is bringing you to counselling so that I can ensure we are able to provide appropriate support. You can also ask questions about how we work. We can mutually decide whether to work together in-person or online and whether you would prefer weekly or bi-weekly sessions.

Following the call, you are not obligated to book a session. However, if we agree a mutually acceptable date and time to start your counselling sessions, I will endeavour to hold the session time for 72 hours if possible. 

Your contact information is treated as confidential and not used by third parties. Please let me know on the form if you have a preferred method for me to reply.
