Tried therapy before, but still feel stuck?
Perhaps you’ve tried therapy and come away with a clearer understanding of yourself, but life still feels much the same. Anxiety or depression may keep returning. You might feel worn down by burnout, grief or the effects of trauma, struggle in your relationships, or feel lost during a major life change. Maybe you are exploring late diagnosed neurodivergence or your identity and wish you had a space where you could be fully yourself.
It can be disheartening to ask for help and still feel stuck. You have not failed, and there is nothing wrong with you. The approach you tried may simply not have given you what you needed.

You're In the
Right Place If...
The thought of explaining your whole life to another therapist sounds exhausting, but you are still hoping something could help.
Life might look fine from the outside while anxiety, depression, burnout, grief or a difficult relationship is taking its toll. You may be living with the effects of trauma, facing a big change, or wondering who you are beneath years of looking after everyone else.
You want someone who will meet you where you are, without rushing you towards an answer. My approach is trauma informed and shaped around what feels useful to you. We can have honest conversations, explore things in new ways and make room for humour.
At Terra Soul Therapies, I work with people who want to explore what happens beyond the story they can tell. We pay attention to the moments when your breathing changes, your shoulders tighten, your mind races or you lose touch with what you want to say. Those moments can help us understand a response you have known for years but have struggled to change.
Â
The aim is not to become a different person. It is to understand yourself more deeply, have more choice, and build a life that aligns with you.

Therapy with me holds the hard stuff without being hard all the time.

The body speaks clearly to those who know how to listen.
Common experiences I support…
Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety and stress are your nervous system’s way of communicating that something needs your attention - they are not a sign that you are broken.  Together, we will explore what your mind and body are responding to, understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and build on your strengths so you can respond in ways that align with you and your values, beliefs, wants and desires.
Relationship Issues
Relationships can be some of the most rewarding and challenging parts of life. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, better understand your needs and strengths, and work towards healthier, more meaningful ways of connecting with yourself and the people who matter most to you.
 Trauma & PTSD
Trauma can change the way your nervous system responds long after the event has passed.  Together, we will work to understand those responses, reconnect with your body’s strengths, and gently build a greater sense of safety, choice, and control. Healing isn’t about forgetting what happened, its about helping your nervous system learn that it no longer has to survive the past.
Burnout and Work Related Stress
Work, life and family can bring purpose, meaning and responsibility, but the pressure to keep everything going can take its toll. Together, we’ll explore what’s contributing to your stress, build on your strengths, and help you find a way of working and living that supports both your wellbeing and the people what matter most in your life.
Life Transitions & Change
Change is a natural part of life, and it can bring uncertainty, stress and a sense of losing your footing,  Whether you’re navigating a new career, relationship, parenthood, retirement, sexuality, illness or another life transition, we’ll work together to understand what this change means for you, build on your strengths, and help you move forward with great confidence, clarity and optimism.
Grief and Loss
Grief is a natural response to loss in all its forms.  Whether you’ve lost a person, a relationship, your health, a role, a dream, or a sense of who you are, therapy offers a space to process your experience, honour what matters, and gently move forward in a way that feels right for you.
Depression & Self-Esteem Issues
Depression and self-esteem issues change the way you see yourself, others and the world around you.  Rather than viewing these experiences as personal flaws, we’ll approach them as meaningful signals that something in your mind, body, or nervous system needs attention. From there, we will identify your strengths, deepen your understanding of yourself, and support lasting change that is authentic and sustainable for you.
Neurodiversity & LGBTIQA+SBÂ
Friendly
Everyone experiences themselves and the world differently. Together, we’ll explore how your mind, body, nervous system, neurodivergence and identity shape your experience, recognise your strengths, and find ways to support you to feel safer, more connected and more able to live as your authentic self.

What
Clients Say…
"Incredibly helpful…helped me gain real clarity"
"I had a session with Terra Soul Therapies and saw Cath to work through something that had been sitting with me for a while. The session was incredibly helpful.Â
Cath is a wonderful listener. Her gentle prompts and thoughtful nudges helped me gain real clarity about what was going on beneath the surface. I felt supported to come to my own understanding, and by the end of the session I was able to release the tension the issue had been creating.
Â
I’m very grateful for her grounded, intuitive guidance and can highly recommend her."
