Individual Support
A space that’s yours — to think, to feel, to work things through.
Sometimes people come to us knowing exactly what they need help with. More often, they arrive with a general sense that something isn’t right — a heaviness they can’t name, a pattern they keep repeating, a feeling that they’re not quite okay. Both are fine starting points.
Individual sessions are one-to-one conversations between you and your practitioner. There’s no agenda you have to meet and no particular way you’re supposed to show up. Our job is to create the conditions where something useful can happen — and then follow your lead.
What we can work through together
People come to us with a wide range of experiences. Some of the most common include:
Anxiety and related experiences — persistent worry, panic, social anxiety, phobias, OCD, and intrusive thoughts that are hard to switch off.
Mood and depression — low mood, emptiness, loss of motivation, or a flatness that’s settled in and won’t lift.
Trauma — including childhood trauma, complex and developmental trauma, abuse, neglect, assault, and other experiences that have left a mark. Trauma doesn’t always announce itself clearly; sometimes it shows up as anxiety, disconnection, or a sense of never quite feeling safe.
Identity and selfhood — questions about who you are, where you fit, your gender, your sexuality, or simply feeling like you don’t quite belong anywhere.
Self-harm and suicidal thoughts — these deserve a space too, and we will not shy away from them. If this is where you are, please reach out.
Grief and loss — bereavement, but also the quieter losses: relationships, identity, possibility, the way things used to be.
Stress, burnout, and overwhelm — particularly for young people navigating school, study, work, and everything else at once.
Neurodivergence — supporting people with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence to understand themselves and navigate a world that isn’t always built for them.
This is not a complete list. If what you’re carrying isn’t here, get in touch anyway.
How we work
We draw on a range of approaches — not because we can’t commit to one, but because no single method fits every person. What matters most to us is the relationship between practitioner and client: research consistently shows this is the most powerful factor in whether support is helpful.
Depending on what you’re working through, we might draw on:
CBT, DBT, and ACT — cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Practical, evidence-based approaches that build skills and shift patterns of thinking and feeling.
Schema therapy — a longer-term approach that explores the deeper patterns and beliefs developed in childhood that can shape how we feel and relate as adults.
Narrative therapy — exploring the stories we tell about ourselves and finding room to rewrite the ones that no longer serve us.
Parts work — the idea that we contain different parts of ourselves, sometimes in conflict. Working with these parts can bring clarity and self-compassion.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) — a structured approach to processing difficult or traumatic memories. Many people find it reaches places that talking alone doesn’t.
Throughout all of it, the relationship comes first. We work with warmth, honesty, and deep respect for your capacity to find your own way — with the right support alongside you.
