Therapy with Phoebe

Within each of us dwells many parts, and when a feeling stirs or a choice is made, it is only one part of us speaking - not the whole of who we are

Sometimes, parts of us step in to protect us—from pain, rejection, or shame. They may push people away, people-please, criticise, or shut down. Not because we’re broken, but because at some point, these strategies helped us feel safe. Some parts fear emotional closeness, even when deep down, we long for connection. They may believe love comes with conditions, or that being truly seen is too risky. One part might want intimacy, while another pulls back in fear of being hurt.

These inner conflicts can create anxiety, confusion, and tension in our relationships. We might find ourselves acting out, zoning out, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions we can’t explain. But every part of us is trying, in its own way, to keep us safe.

Therapy offers a space to meet these parts with compassion—to understand where they come from, and to gently reconnect with ourselves and others. By building trust within, we make room for deeper connection, safety, and healing in our relationships.

Within each of us lies a core Self—an innate wellspring of wisdom, compassion, calm, and confidence. As we empower your true Self, we unlock the healing power within, bringing peace, clarity, and the strength to release old wounds, restore balance and to love without fear.

I take a holistic approach, free from judgement, recognising you as a unique individual on a journey toward inner peace, soulful healing and relational connection. I will not label you, or tell you that your feelings, or parts of you are wrong, instead I will provide opportunities for you to further understand and connect to those parts of yourself, offering compassion, acceptance and processing any underlaying pain or trauma, to allow your system to have more space to be who you truly are.

I have devoted many years to supporting a diverse range of individuals and couples, engaging in extensive training and personal inquiry to deepen my capacity to hold space with care and presence during life’s most challenging moments. This commitment is reflected in both my academic and professional journey: I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling, alongside a range of additional specialist trainings. My practice is grounded in trauma-sensitive and attachment-focused principles, incorporating neurobiology, emotional exploration and relational attunement, whether seeking individual or relationship counselling.
