I chose the name Alyssum Therapies as the Alyssum flower holds deep significance. Historically, it was believed to have healing properties and could ward off bad spirits. More importantly, it symbolises paradise and beauty beyond the surface—just as I aim to help individuals recognise their true worth.
What is Alyssum Therapies?
Alyssum Therapies is about helping people see their worth, especially during difficult times. I am passionate about creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe space where they can truly be themselves. This process can lead to clarity and a deeper understanding of what’s going on, fostering empowerment and bringing positive change into your life.
I understand that talking about your struggles can be difficult—especially if you're unsure of what you're feeling or fear judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and understood.

How do I work?
In our sessions, we'll work together to explore your thoughts and feelings, whether they're connected to past experiences or present challenges. As we gain a deeper understanding of yourself, we'll identify any unhelpful patterns in your thinking and behaviour that may be affecting your relationships, confidence, or overall well-being. From there, we’ll create a personalised psychological toolkit, designed to fit your unique needs. You'll learn how to use these tools to navigate life’s challenges and cope during difficult times. This process can help bring a sense of peace, acceptance, and relief from emotional and physical discomfort.
My experience
I have personal and clinical experience with Neurodivergency and I understand the unique
needs and considerations this presents in therapy and everyday life.
My training and experience have primarily focused on trauma, especially relational and emotional trauma. I understand how deeply confusing this type of trauma can be for individuals. Emotional abuse is often subtle and covert, leaving you questioning yourself and wondering if you’ve done something wrong. These experiences can stir up complex feelings, sometimes even triggering deeper aspects of our emotional makeup, like attachment patterns. Maybe in our younger days, our caregivers or peers were emotionally unavailable, for whatever reasons they may have had. While we had their physical presence, emotionally, they might not have been fully available. This can leave us feeling confused, unsure of what we needed or deserved in those moments. We may have learned to suppress our feelings, keeping our attachments close while hiding parts of ourselves, as our emotions were often not acknowledged or validated.
In present life, it may feel like you’re being left behind, wondering if you are too much, or somehow not enough—carrying stories no one asked to hear. You may have learned to keep parts of yourself hidden, just to survive.
