When your own needs come lastYou agree to help before checking whether you have time. Afterwards, you feel stretched or resentful, then criticise yourself for feeling that way. These patterns can show up at work, with family or in close relationships. We look at them with curiosity and with attention to the situations in which they developed.Work with a real exampleBring a moment when you wanted to say something different. We explore what you noticed, what you feared might happen and which choice felt possible. The conversation is about understanding your responses, rather than finding fault with them.Recognise the rules you set for yourself.Distinguish your own wishes from what you assume others expect.Prepare words for a boundary or a request for time.Small changes you chooseSessions last 50 minutes. If useful, we can rehearse a conversation or agree on one situation to observe before the next visit. You choose what you want to try; we review the experience without grading it as success or failure. At the intake, we discuss your priorities and agree on a first focus, the frequency and the costs before you decide whether to continue.

A quiet place to talk

You do not need to tell us everything in the first conversation. We start with what matters now and leave time for your questions about the process.

Talk about what fits your needs

You do not need a complete explanation. A few words about what you are looking for are enough for a first message.
