Areas of Support

Anxiety can feel like a constant low hum, or a sense that something is about to go wrong, even when life appears calm.

You may notice:

• Racing thoughts
• Difficulty relaxing
• A tight chest, shallow breathing or a knotted stomach
• Avoiding situations that feel unsafe
• People-pleasing or perfectionism
• Anticipating the next problem

The work may focus on the emotional patterns and stress responses that keep anxiety active.

This is a persistent low mood with a sense of futility and lack of meaning in life.

You may notice:

• The emotional landscape is flat and bland
• A sense of disconnection from yourself, others and life
• A lack of meaning and purpose to what you do
• Withdrawn and emotions withheld
• Struggle to fulfil everyday tasks
• Feeling exhausted all the time

The work may include getting to the root cause of this emotion and gently working with these beliefs to shift them.

Low self-worth is deeper than a temporary lack of confidence. It can feel like a persistent belief that who you are is not enough.

You may notice:

• Achieving goals without feeling satisfied
• Comparing yourself with others
• Difficulty accepting praise
• Weak boundaries
• Feeling like a fraud
• A harsh inner critic
• Emotional exhaustion from never feeling good enough

The work may explore where these beliefs began, and help you relate to yourself with greater compassion, understanding and love.

Guilt and shame that live with you every day and inform your every decision.

You may notice:

• A feeling of always being wrong, no matter what you do
• The slightest criticism leaves you feeling deep shame
• A memory you can’t let go of, where you have been wrong
• Inability to forgive yourself for even the most human of mistakes
• Setting yourself to a higher standard than everyone else in your life
• Feeling judged by yourself and everyone else

The work may focus on getting to the core of where these beliefs were adopted and healing that and letting it go.

This is a grief that sits in your heart every waking hour, that constricts the life force out of you.

You may notice:

• A deep sadness that lives in your bones, that you can’t seem to shake off
• A belief that letting go of grief is like betraying your loved one
• Your heart shuts down and is in protective mode so that you’ll never hurt again
• A belief that it’s wrong to be happy without ___
• A feeling of being stuck and unable to reimagine your life without ___

The work may focus on healing the beliefs that are keeping you stuck in grief and making peace with what is and reimagining the future.

Procrastination is not always a lack of discipline. It may be connected to fear, perfectionism, shame, overwhelm, or a belief that success is unsafe or unavailable.

You may notice:

• Avoiding tasks that matter to you
• Repeatedly starting and stopping
• Waiting until pressure becomes unbearable
• Distracting yourself
• Feeling guilty, and then avoiding more
• Holding yourself back from opportunities

The work may focus on finding the root cause of these patterns and healing them.

Repeating relationship patterns may be influenced by beliefs about love, safety, rejection and belonging.

You may notice:

• Prioritising other people’s needs
• Difficulty saying no
• Fear of disappointing others
• Repeating similar relationships with different people
• Feeling responsible for other people’s emotions
• Losing connection with your own needs

The work may focus on early relationships, patterns and beliefs that were put in place, and finding a new way to respond.

Some people use food to soothe stress, difficult emotions or unmet needs.

You may want support with:

• Emotional eating
• Compulsive eating patterns
• Shame around food
• Feeling controlled by food
• Harsh judgement about body size or shape
• Building a calmer relationship with eating

This work looks at the emotional patterns around eating. It is not a weight-loss programme, and it is not a substitute for care from a GP or a registered dietitian.

For many adults, the deepest ADHD-related struggle comes from years of being misunderstood.

You may relate to:

• Shame around focus, organisation or follow-through
• Feeling lazy or not good enough
• Emotional overwhelm
• Masking or overcompensating
• Feeling fundamentally different
• Exhaustion from trying to keep up

This work is not about fixing ADHD, and it is not an assessment or a diagnosis. It may help untangle your sense of who you are from years of criticism, shame and misunderstanding.

Limiting beliefs may form through major events, or through repeated smaller experiences such as criticism, comparison, rejection, loss or feeling unseen.

Beliefs may include:

• I am not safe
• I am too much
• I do not matter
• I have to earn love
• People will leave me

The aim is not to deny the past. It is to understand how earlier experiences shaped the present, so that they have less control over future choices.
