You’ve been holding it all together, but it no longer feels possible.
​
Maybe you’re waking up with a heavy weight in your chest, wondering how you’ll get through another day. Perhaps you’re worn out from trying to meet everyone’s expectations, while your own needs sit quietly on the back burner. You might feel stuck, in a relationship that no longer feels safe, you’re lacking intimacy, feeling scared, not heard or understood by your partner and no longer acting like you. Do you lack confidence in friendships, struggle to put in place boundaries, feel unappreciated by others when you are always there for them. In friendships you feel disconnected and/or different. You feel under pressure with your family members, boundaries are non-existent or always pushed aside. Do you always feel the need to please your parents, or are you dealing with narcissistic or toxic family members.
You’ve tried to carry on. You’ve told yourself it’s not that bad. You’ve tried to think there are people worse off out there. And yet, something inside you knows: this isn’t how life is meant to feel. You feel you’ve tried everything, making time for your partner, going away for the weekend to allow more intimacy. You’ve tried to be a better friend, there for your friend more than ever before. You’ve tried organising family get togethers, you’ve tried reinforcing boundaries over and over again.
You are not broken. You are human. And you don’t have to go through this alone.
Whatever has brought you here; burnout, grief, trauma, chronic pain, gynaecological conditions or a deep sense of disconnection, it makes sense. Your body and mind have been trying to adapt, to survive. But now you’re ready for something more: clarity, relief, freedom.
LIFE CAN BE DIFFERENT
You can feel cared for in your relationship.
You can feel valued in friendship.
You can feel confident to cut out the people who don’t serve you.
You can communicate strong boundaries with your family.
This is all possible
You want to feel like yourself again. Or maybe, you want to meet yourself fully for the first time. Beyond the coping. Beyond the overwhelm. To be able to get up in the morning without the dread of what is to come.
This is the beginning of that journey.
​
I’m Holly, a Relationship & Trauma Therapist specialising in relationships, trauma, emotional wellbeing, and gynaecological health. We will work together to turn toward your inner experience/world with honesty and compassion, even when it's messy or painful. We will work at your pace, in a calm and occasionally gently challenging space. We can work online or in-person from my office in West Mersea, Colchester, Essex.
​
Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back, and help you reconnect to the parts of you that are resilient, wise, and deeply capable of healing.
​
You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.
Let’s find a new way forward.
If you are ready to finally become that person who puts in place boundaries and get your relationships back on track, get in touch.

My specific areas of expertise are:
Relationships
Trauma

Stress
Gynaecological Conditions
Counselling offers you dedicated time to reflect on any part of your life, whether you're seeking deeper understanding, facing challenges, or wanting to make meaningful changes. Walking in to your first session you may feel nervous about finally talking, excited to start the process, worried about judgement. You will be walking in to a space where you can finally talk about what you’ve been afraid to voice and offload. A place you can really be yourself, express what your life is like and be heard.
I am a Relationship & Trauma Therapist, based in the Mersea Island, Colchester, Essex. You can also work with me online. My aim is to provide a compassionate and structured space where we can safely explore your experiences, supporting your growth and development.
Session Length: 50 minutes
Session Cost: £60
Frequency: Weekly to start (however, other options can be available if appropriate for the support you need)
Location: Online or In-Person (Mersea Island, Colchester, Essex)
When you get in touch, we can have a 10-15 minute free telephone call to discuss therapy and what you’re looking for. Alternatively, we can get straight to it and arrange an initial session.
​
In our initial session, we’ll explore your reasons for seeking counselling, touch on your personal history, discuss any current symptoms or challenges, and most importantly, consider whether we feel comfortable working together as part of your therapy journey. At this session we will also discuss the best day and time for regular therapy.
