Complex emotional difficulties
Therapy for longer-standing patterns in emotion, mood and relationships. Some difficulties are not about a single problem so much as a longer-standing pattern: emotions that feel overwhelming or hard to manage, relationships that follow painful and repeating cycles, a shaky sense of self, or distress that has been there in some form for a long time.
In person in Wickford, South Essex, or online across the UK.
These patterns often have roots in earlier experiences, and they can be some of the hardest to talk about and to shift.
This is an area I have worked in throughout my NHS career. Therapy here tends to be more gradual. It combines the structure of a cognitive behavioural approach with skills drawn from dialectical behaviour therapy for managing intense emotions, and it pays close attention to the therapeutic relationship itself as part of the work.
These patterns can feel deeply personal and hard to explain, but they are more common than people realise. Therapy creates a space to look at how they developed, understand what keeps them going, and gradually build a different way of relating to yourself and others.
