Calm. Strength. Connections.
Psychological therapy for adults who learned to cope alone, helping you understand your emotions, build inner stability, feel more connected, and move towards a future that belongs to you.
Available in Edinburgh and online.
Feeling exhausted yet still ‘holding it all together’? Therapy to help you reconnect with yourself and live the life you want.
You may feel numb, disconnected, or constantly on edge. On the outside, you look like you’re coping but inside, you’re overthinking everything, you struggle to switch off, ask for help, or simply rest. Staying busy keeps the feelings at bay, but it leaves you exhausted.
If this sounds familiar, you might have learned early on to be the one who holds everything together, no matter what. That strength helped you survive but now it can leave you feeling disconnected, restless, or drained.
I’m Lisa, a Counselling Psychologist in Edinburgh. I provide therapy for adults experiencing mental health difficulties such as anxiety and stress, often from experiencing trauma, abuse, discrimination, emotional neglect, or long-standing patterns of self-reliance.
Together, we work to support you to:
Start to feel more connected to yourself and others, supporting healthy relationships
Recognise and manage emotional triggers with greater awareness
Begin to trust your feelings and decisions, building confidence over time
Create space to rest, reflect, and recharge, so you’re not ‘on it’ all of the time
You don’t have to hold it all together alone anymore.
