When life keeps breaking
in familiar places
For capable adults ready to look beneath the surface, not just manage the fallout.
Specialist therapy for high-functioning adults affected by complex trauma, developmental trauma and childhood adversity.
Maybe it's the anxiety that shows up out of nowhere, even when life is objectively fine.
Relationships that follow the same exhausting patterns.
Depression that feels less like sadness and more like disconnection — going through the motions while feeling nothing.
You've probably tried to fix it. Maybe even tried therapy before. Got some tools, learned some breathing techniques, felt better for a while.
But you're still left with this nagging sense that nobody's actually addressed what's wrong.
You're right. Something underneath needs addressing.
Anxiety that won't quit
The racing thoughts at 3am. Constant scanning for what could go wrong. Second-guessing every decision despite being good at what you do.
This isn't weakness — it's your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do. Somewhere along the line, it decided the world wasn't safe often as a result of trauma, and staying alert was the only option.
We can help it learn something different. Not by fighting the anxiety, but by understanding why it's there and addressing the root.
Relationships that drain you
The same patterns keep repeating.
You give too much, or you can't let anyone in.
Intimacy feels dangerous. You can be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone.
This isn't about being "bad" at relationships — it's about what got modeled for you early on.
The patterns you're repeating made sense once. They don't work now.
The performance is exhausting
Looking fine on the outside while falling apart inside.
Meeting every demand — work, family, life — while feeling like you're not really present for any of it.
Joy feels like a luxury. Rest feels unsafe. You're tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix.
This is what happens when your whole life becomes about managing and performing. We can explore what it would look like to actually live instead of just survive.
Success that doesn't feel like success
You've built something. Career, family, life that looks right on paper.
So why does it feel hollow? Why are you still waiting for someone to figure out you're a fraud?
High-functioning struggle is still struggle. The gap between how things look and how they feel is exhausting to maintain.
We can address what's underneath — not just help you cope better with the pressure

About Jimi
I’ve spent over 30 years working as a psychotherapist, with a particular focus on complex trauma, developmental trauma and the long-term effects of childhood adversity.
​
Most people I work with function well on the outside, but privately carry patterns that are exhausting, confusing or difficult to explain.
​
My work is direct, grounded and carefully paced. I don’t fit people into a fixed method. I pay attention to the person in front of me, the history behind them, and the survival patterns that may still be shaping their life now.
​
Many people come to me after previous therapy has helped, but something important still feels untouched.
If you need therapy that is warm, serious and rooted in long clinical experience, you are welcome to get in touch.
