Anxiety can be confusing. Many people come to therapy saying that they don’t understand the constant sense of anxiety. Even if there’s nothing particularly wrong, the anxiety is still there. If this sounds familiar then I want to reassure you that you’re not alone.

Anxiety doesn’t always appear as a result of an immediate problem. Sometimes it shows up because your mind and body have been on high alert and it’s forgotten how to switch off.

Choosing the right therapist can feel like a big step. If you’ve been searching for a therapist in Northwich or Cheshire you may already know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable with. Therapy is an extremely personal process and the relationship you build with your therapist can make a real difference.

I find that many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. You may notice the same difficulties appearing in relationships, struggle with self-criticism, find it hard to set boundaries, or feel anxious in ways that seem bigger than the situation in front of you.

Often, these patterns are not random. They can be linked to earlier experiences and the ways we learned to adapt, cope, and relate to others. Transactional Analysis (TA) is an insightful and effective psychotherapeutic approach that helps make sense of these patterns and supports meaningful change.

Hello, I’m Grace and I’m glad you’ve found your way here.

I wanted to write something a little more personal than a standard “about me” page. Something that gives you a real sense of who I am, what I believe in and why this work means so much to me. I think that when you’re considering therapy it matters to know not just what someone does, but who they are.
