Friendships and Relationships

Therapy can help with friendship and relationship worries, like feeling rejected, worried, people-pleasing, or guilty. Available online and in Cambridge

Friendship and Relationship Struggles

I can help with difficulties like:

Worrying too much what other people think of you

People pleasing and conflict avoidance

Fears about being rejected or left on your own

Feelings of guilt, shame and fear in relationships

Finding it hard to maintain friendships or intimate relationships

Therapy can help you

Working together, we can understand:

Why you are feeling this way

Why it feels like you keep repeating the same mistakes

How to pay more attention to what you’re feeling without being overwhelmed

How to be more compassionate to yourself and still stick to your goals and values

How to break change down into small steps, and how to plan these together

How do I feel better?

I tend to use a combination of different therapies including:

Cognitive analytic therapy, which focuses on your previous and current relationships, as well as your relationship to yourself

EMDR, which can help you let go of distressing past memories and cope better with current or upcoming stressors

Compassion focussed therapy, which has very helpful exercises to help us feel calmer, soothed and cared for

You can feel better

You can and will feel better with the right support. Reach out today if you are interested in speaking further about how I can help you.
