Calm. Strength. Connections.

Feel like you’re living on autopilot?

You may feel numb, disconnected, or constantly on edge. On the outside, you look like you’re coping but inside, 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 who’ve experienced childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or chronic self-reliance.

Together, we work to help you:

• Feel more connected to yourself and others

• Recognise and manage emotional triggers

• Build trust in your own feelings and decisions

• Create space to rest, reflect, and recharge

You don’t have to hold it all together alone anymore.
