" I felt I could talk about anything, raw and openly without any fear of judgment. The changes have been huge, in fact, they have been life-changing. I have been able to leave a relationship that was unhealthy, I have got the confidence to set boundaries and I have got a much better understanding of myself and my worth. - Rachel. Newmarket

In the realm of romantic relationships, it is essential to recognise that self-sabotage and unhealthy behavioral patterns often stem from deeper, unresolved wounds. Many individuals grapple with low self-worth, feelings of being unlovable, a tendency to please others at their own expense, and difficulty setting boundaries. These patterns can originate from a difficult childhood, an emotionally or physically abusive relationship, or a past event that continues to cast a long shadow. Sometimes, they are rooted in outdated belief systems that have yet to evolve.

​

These behaviors are not random; they are protective mechanisms born out of past pain and trauma. The path to healing involves addressing these deeper wounds, allowing individuals to transform their relationship with themselves. By doing so, they can break free from these limiting patterns and cultivate more meaningful, intimate, and respectful romantic relationships.

​

My approach focuses on exploring these underlying wounds. I guide individuals to delve into their past experiences with compassion and curiosity, helping them understand how these experiences shape their current behaviors. Through this process, they can begin to heal, fostering a healthier relationship with themselves. As individuals develop a deeper self-awareness and self-acceptance, they become capable of forming more authentic and fulfilling connections with their partners.

​

The journey is not about assigning blame but about reclaiming one's power and agency. By understanding and healing their past, individuals can create a new narrative for their romantic lives, one characterised by mutual respect, genuine intimacy, and profound emotional connection. This transformation opens the door to relationships that are not only healthier but also deeply enriching and life-affirming.
