Mindfulness Spaces

27/10/2025

So many people come to therapy worried they’ll say too much — that their story is too heavy, too detailed, or too messy to bring into the room.
But therapy is a space where nothing about you is too much.

In therapy, you don’t have to hide the parts of yourself that feel “too much.”
Many people come to believe that their pain or struggles are just life — but that doesn’t mean you have to stay stuck.

My role as a therapist isn’t to climb into the trench with you, but to hold the ladder as you find your own way out — safely, and at your own pace. 🌱

If this resonates, therapy can be a place to start.

prompt - Maybe there is something you need to be assured of safety to open your heart, maybe someone you know. What would you need to feel assured or how can you assure someone in need?

In therapy, we explore how anxiety relates to those parts of you, which help you to perform seemingly calm and super efficient and help you to keep it all together when needed but fall apart when not. If this sounds familiar and perhaps you have tried many things already, get in touch for a non-obligatory call to find out which parts cover for you and how we can support these.

Perfectionism is not about control, it is about safety. Anxiety showing up as perfectionism is a common player in our lives. Sometimes perfectionism can fuel anxiety even more and result in obsessive behaviours too. Perfectionism can also be fuelled by comparison to others or previous achievements. In therapy, we explore what would happen and how would it feel if things are not perfect. This can be uncomfortable at first and then clients can feel perfectionism loosing its grip and anxiety reducing.

If you can’t relax, your body might not feel safe yet. Anxiety sometimes is a sign that you don't feel safe, even though you might have a roof over your head, financial stability or something else that would suggest you are safe. But being emotionally safe can send the mind and body into fight and flight. In therapy, we identify what keeps you awake, what is unsafe.

You can look capable and still feel panic inside. Anxiety is not always visible to others or ourselves. It hides in plain sight. A common trick of anxiety is to show us as high functioning. This has certainly been true for me too. Keeping myself not just busy but having high standards and playing on multiple pianos at the same time. In, therapy, we can look at high functionality in the context of anxiety and reduce stress and prevent burn out.

Anxiety is real. It’s not drama. It’s fear of rejection especially when we overthink text messages, emails or conversations. The question is what is anxiety trying to communicate? In therapy, we work together to identify anxiety's message and give it space to speak, be present.

Sometimes anxiety looks like overthinking, perfectionism or comes out at night, keeping us awake. Anxiety doesn't always show up in a classical way, anxiety can have many faces, many ways of talking to us. In therapy, we identify how anxiety talks to you and shows up and how we can understand your anxiety.
