Why therapy, now? 

​

You might already logically understand the pattern you’re living in. You may know why anxiety controls your choices, why cycles of anger and depression keep you stuck, or why you resort to self-sabotage and avoidance tactics like escaping into social media. But knowing the pattern doesn't make it stop.

​

I'm Kayla, and I work with individuals and couples across the UK who are exhausted by this disconnect.

Perhaps you find yourself struggling with a lack of patience, becoming easily irritable with others, or quickly assuming rejection. Maybe you self-sabotage relationships because a deep inner voice asks, “Why would they love me?”, leaving you feeling profoundly uncomfortable with being loved because you don’t feel inherently worthy of it.

Whether you're dealing with past trauma and abuse, high-stakes emotional burdens, or frightening thoughts like suicidal ideation, it takes courage to seek change. I offer flexible, tailored therapy to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms to truly transform your life and reconnect. For more information on what therapy can help with, click here.

Healing from trauma

​

If your life is being shaped by past trauma, abuse, or dissociation, my practice is built on providing specialised, strategic healing.

Together, we will explore how trauma has impacted your emotional responses, your behaviour, your reactions, and your core assumptions about yourself. What has your trauma made you think about your own worth? The focus in trauma work is about finding a way to heal that deep pain, uncovering the self-worth and self-value that exists within you, inherently, and not because of your achievements.

I am trained in a comprehensive range of interventions for psychological trauma to help you move forward decisively from PTSD, Complex PTSD, chronic depression, and anxiety. Together, we develop the robust inner resources you need for lasting emotional regulation and peace.

I offer tailored therapy to adults aged 18+, drawing from Humanistic, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive modalities. I also specialise in supporting parents who want to process their own trauma to ensure they become a healed, present parent for their children.

Relationship support

​

That heavy stress of internal conflict often spills over, creating painful distance in partnerships. If miscommunication, chronic conflict, and built-up resentment are stealing the joy from your relationship, you don't have to navigate that distance alone. My couples work is designed for efficient, effective change, drawing on a Solution-Focused approach that integrates the core emotional needs from the Human Givens framework with the research-backed communication techniques of the Gottman Method. We work together to replace destructive patterns with practical skills for healthy communication and effective conflict resolution, paving the way for deeper unity and lasting reconnection.

Are you ready?

​

You don't have to stay stuck in the feeling that things can't change. It's time to shift from feeling powerless to claiming your agency and designing your future. Are you ready to stop giving away your power and finally begin building a life you genuinely believe you are worthy of?
