Heart Matters Therapy

confidence after traumatic relationships.

As someone who’s been in therapy, I know how difficult it can be to take this first step and trust someone. You don’t need to have all the answers, just show up as you are. I will help you work from there, together.

Being in a toxic relationship, has left you with more than just painful memories – there’s the self-doubt, the overthinking, the fear of trusting the wrong people again.

Some days feel like you’re stuck on repeat – replaying conversations, regretting things you did (or didn’t) say, Googling what it all means. The nights are roughest – lying in the dark, scrolling, spiralling, trying to work out how you got here… and who you’re supposed to be now.

I help such people who are carrying the emotional after-effects of painful or unhealthy relationships – whether with a partner, parent, friend, or colleague. Together, we’ll make sense of what happened, unpack the patterns that keep you stuck, and help you rebuild a self-worth that feels unshakable.

We’ll Work On Together:
In our sessions, you’ll have space to process what happened and understand how it’s shaped you. We’ll work on:

•Understanding and releasing unhealthy relationship patterns
•Calming overthinking and managing anxiety triggers through evidence-based strategies
•Rebuilding trust in yourself and your decisions
•Setting boundaries without guilt
•Feeling grounded, confident, and emotionally secure

I Work:
I offer a supportive space where you can talk openly without fear of judgement. We might explore how past experiences shaped your beliefs and patterns, while also learning tools you can use in everyday life outside of sessions.

I believe therapy doesn’t end when the hour is up. I want you to feel more grounded and confident in the real world.

I draw on relational and psychodynamic therapy alongside CBT and DBT skills to combine insight with practical change.

We’ll go at a pace that feels safe for you.
