Work With Me | Therapy

Do you feel disconnected from yourself, and the life you want to live?

You're here, which probably means you feel:

Stuck

Trapped

Hopeless

Uncertain

Overwhelmed

Directionless

Unsatisfied

Unhappy

Lost

Dread

You've tried the vision boards, the long conversations that end with the same directionless outcome, the repeated questions you ask AI. Maybe you've tried making more social plans, changing company, starting a side hustle, but that feeling never goes away. The quiet voice saying... "is this it?"

It doesn't have to stay like this.

It's overwhelming and exhausting. But just know it doesn't have to be this way forever and I'm here to help you break-free from this cycle of uncertainty.

I'M READY!

In Therapy

I'll provide you with the headspace, skills and guidance to:

Cut through the noise

We'll unpick the societal pressure, peer pressure, overwhelming expectations.

Build the confidence

Develop the confidence and resilience to go after what you want without guilt, fear or doubt.

What you want

Figure out what actually brings you joy, contentment and inner calm.

How to get there

I'll gently guide you each step of the way and help you get to where you want to be.

Working together we will make

positive lifelong change

But what if it's not "bad enough"?

In therapy my clients regularly say they waited to start therapy because they didn’t think it was “bad enough” to invest in their mental health.

But therapy isn’t just for tipping points, it’s for the messy middle, the quiet “something’s not right,” the stuck, restless feeling you can’t quite put into words.

Because the truth is: if you’re already questioning whether it’s “bad enough”, it probably means something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. And that’s more than enough reason to get support.

Working together now means you don’t have to wait until you’re burnt out, overwhelmed, or at breaking point. Therapy can help you feel clearer, calmer, and more in control before it gets that far.

I'M DONE WAITING

Your 20's and 30's can be brutal, and its easy to get stuck in an endless loop of not taking action to make things better, but you are definitely not alone. Let me introduce you to (drum roll please)...

The Beta Paradox

'How a worse situation can lead to a better outcome by compelling individuals to take a beneficial action they wouldn't have otherwise.'

Put simply, the people who don't think their situation is bad enough don't act on it, and therefore suffer more than those who are forced to act. Don't fall victim to the Beta Paradox, your mental health is worth investing in!

Seeking support is a strength, not a weakness

Choose me, if you want a therapist who...

Understands the pressure, overthinking and quiet panic that often show up in your 20s and 30s

Helps you work through self-doubt and indecision, so choices feel clearer and less overwhelming

Does not pathologise you for struggling. Your experience is unique, and you will be treated as an individual

Is warm, human and easy to talk to, not clinical or intimidating

Balances empathy with gentle challenge, supporting you without letting you stay stuck

Focuses on meaningful progress in your real life, not quick fixes or surface-level coping

Has over 5 years of post-qualification experience, so you feel safe and supported

Has lived experience of dyslexia and extensive experience working with autistic and ADHD clients

Provides a relaxed and comfortable space, where you can bring it all - including humour and the silly stuff

This is perfect for you if:

You know therapy is the next logical step.

You are curious, determined and you know something needs to change.

You're overwhelm and uncertainty is getting in the way of the life you deserve.

This is not for you if:

You are not ready to invest in your mental health.

You are looking for a quick single session fix.

You don't want to delve into why you feel discontent.

THIS IS RIGHT FOR ME

What can I help with?

Everyone's reason for starting therapy is different, but fortunately for you I'm confident I can help you no matter the cause. You made it here, so I imagine you are struggling with one of the below.

Discontentment

Everything in your life looks fine on paper, but it just doesn’t feel right. You’re ticking the boxes you thought would make you happy, yet something feels like its missing. Maybe you catch yourself thinking “Is this it?” or feeling guilty for wanting more, even though nothing’s “wrong.” It’s not failure, it’s a sign you’re ready for more meaning and direction.

Relationships

You’re starting to question whether you’re happy, or just comfortable. Maybe you’ve outgrown someone, or you’re unsure how to make things work. Either way, you feel disconnected, from them, and maybe from yourself too. Do you commit to the partner that's been a constant for years? Or is there something holding you back? Are your friendships still serving you, or have you grown apart?

What to expect

From your first session and beyond...

4.

You move forward with more certainty, ease, and self-trust. You’re no longer weighed down by a lack of direction or disconnection, but ready to create a life that feels right for you!

Frequently asked questions

Are the sessions weekly?

Yes. I've found that weekly sessions provide the best results for my clients.

How many sessions do I need?

I recommend my clients anticipate booking no less than 12 sessions to experience a positive change. However, you are in full control of how long you would like to continue working together.

Can I work with you if I'm not from the UK?

I currently only work with clients from the UK. Should this change I will announce this on my Instagram - so make sure you're following me on there for updates.

Do you accept payment via private healthcare insurance?

At the moment I choose to only work with self-funding clients.

Can I access crisis support? I need urgent help

I do not offer crisis support. If you are feeling suicidal or at risk of harming yourself, please seek immediate help by visiting A&E or calling 999 (in the UK). You can also reach out to your GP or local NHS mental health service for urgent support. For confidential emotional support, you can contact Samaritans at 116 123.

3️⃣ things that happen when you start actually knowing what you want and where you are heading in life...

Knowing what you want sounds like something that should come easily... but the reality is so many of us are stuck, trapped in the indecision - not really knowing who we are or what we want.

Therapy helps untangle this feeling and identify where you, what you want, and how to get there.

Many of my clients start off feeling uncertain. They come to therapy with a quiet feeling that something is not quite right anymore. They start to panic about big life decisions, wasting-time, and investing energy into things they feel unsure about.

If this is also you, you are not alone 💛

Maybe you've been considering therapy for a while, but you just weren't sure it would be able to help with these feelings.

But working with me is different. Here are some things that you might expect from our therapy together:

You no longer waste hours weighing-up every decision. You have friendships that light you up. And the big decisions come without the added time pressure ✨

Jump into my DMs and we can chat about what has been going on for you - or go to the link in my bio to book your free intro call, so you can start your journey to knowing yourself again 💯

You keep asking yourself: “Why don’t I know what I want?”

You scroll, compare, overthink. You listen to friends talk about careers, five year plans, life goals. And you nod along, even though on the inside you feel a bit blank. Or behind. Or quietly panicked.

You tell yourself: “I’m probably overthinking this.” or “I just need more time.”

But here’s what often gets missed:
💭 You can be capable and still feel unsure about direction
💭 Feeling purposeless does not mean you are doing life wrong
💭 Constantly looking outside yourself for answers can slowly disconnect you from your own voice.

A thought from a therapist who works with women in their 20s and 30s 👇
That stuck, anxious feeling is not because you are broken or unmotivated. It is often a sign you have lost touch with what actually matters to you.

If you are trying to think your way into a sense of purpose and getting nowhere, therapy can help you approach this differently.

In our work, we slow things down. We explore your values, your identity, and what you want your life to feel like, not just look like.

If you are tired of asking yourself the same questions and getting no answers, I am here.

You used to be excited to have autonomy - now you'd rather have someone else decide what you want...

The anxiety around making decisions has gotten worse lately. You start to question whether you really actually know what you want.

The question: "Is this it?" starts to flash through your mind as you try to make big life decisions.

Then the panic kicks in. You're running out of time to have things figured out - or at least that's how it feels.

But the truth is, being sure of what you want doesn't really have a set timeframe. You don't sign your first rental agreement, book your first MOT, or get your first pay check - and suddenly know exactly who you are and what you want.

As a therapist I see this cycle all the time in my clients. They want to feel certain, but they don't understand why they don't know themselves by now.

Together we slowly assess these patterns of thinking, so you can let go of the pressures to have it all figured out.

We also work on getting to the bottom of the question: what do you actually want?
Providing you clarity and certainty for your future, at a pace that feels right for you.

If this resonates with you - I’d love for you to stick around.

It's the question that has you feeling your most anxious. Spiralling at the weekends, wondering what road to take next.

You call yourself indecisive, but the truth is - you've lost trust in your own inner voice.

Maybe you fear failure, or losing more time in something you aren't 100% sure about. So instead you stay stuck.

Unsure of what to do, and unsure of what you actually want.

But getting back in touch with your wants is possible - it's something I help my clients with all the time inside therapy.

It's a space where we consider what is preventing you from hearing yourself, and build up the confidence and self-trust to make decisions that really mean something.

Decisions like being single, instead of 'getting back out there' - because being single feels right for you right now.

Or booking that one-way ticket to live somewhere warm for 6 months because you've always wanted to learn to surf.

Or even smaller choices like, knowing what exercise routine will actually serve you instead of draining you.

If you've read this far, maybe you're thinking about starting therapy? If the answer is yes - I'd love to support you 🫶

I have space for a couple more clients before I open my waitlist. So, book your free intro call via the link in my bio and let's start building your exciting future filled with confidence and certainty!

Self-trust > Anxiety about the future ✅

As a therapist working with anxious women who feel lost in themselves, I know that the thought of 'what's next' is all consuming.

Building self-trust is a way to combat some of these feelings of uncertainty - and here are my fave ways to do that by focusing on everyday habits 🫶

1️⃣Practice intentional choice each morning. Whether that is making a choice over what to have for breakfast, or deciding whether you'd feel better going to the gym, for a walk, or meditating. Intentional choice helps us reconnect with our intuition and feelings - building self-trust little by little.

2️⃣Setting realistic goals or task for the day. There is nothing more demoralising that having a half ticked To-do list by the end of the day. By setting realistic goals, I am telling myself I have recignise what I can comfortably achieve. Doing this means I am very rarely doubting my abilities.

3️⃣Daily moments for myself, reconnecting with something that interests me. For years I would use my rest time to do something "productive". I'd end the day not having connected with myself or my interests, which led to not really knowing who I was or what I wanted. Now I make sure to do something small each day for myself. This helps me feel I am worth investing in -building a stronger relationship with myself and ultimately self-trust.

Which daily habit will you try? Let me know in the caption. And if therapy is on your 2026 to-do list, you might be here for a reason - I might be the therapist for you ✨

2016 was ten years ago, and if that has feeling anxious about the future, this post is for you 🫶

If this trend is causing you to feel like you've not achieved anything, then you're not alone!

I'll bet you were in a different place in your life in 2016. I'd even go as far as to bet you had a clear path ahead of you. But this path was born out of structure.

Now that this structure has gone, you're the one left making the decisions - and it is paralysing.

As a therapist specialised in working with people feeling these exact emotions, I can share what often helps isn't trying to replicate your past.

Instead, I encourage you to evaluate what you want in life - recognise the fear that is holding you back from making those decisions - and develop (with my help) the self-trust that is needed to feel present in your life again.

If this is the kind of therapy that you are seeking, I have a few spaces to fill before I open my waitlist 👀 would you like to work with me? Regain direction, build genuine connections and grow in confidence.

On average, you're happier for just 3 months after you achieve your goal...

Once the confetti settles, you look around and notice that you feel just as discontent or uncertain as usual.

The hedonic treadmill is the natural human tendency to return to a stable baseline of happiness despite major positive life changes. In other words: "Ok, I've done that - now what's next"

The problem is, this treadmill never stops. You keep striving but never arriving.

In therapy we take a step off the treadmill, away from the endless striving, and concentrate on what really matters to you.

You develop a sense of what you actually want, how to get there, and the ability to enjoy the journey - not just the destination.

You've ticked some of the boxes, feeling like you should feel sorted by now.

So why don't you? And more importantly, how can you start living a life that brings you contentment, excitement and genuine happiness?

You've tried practicing gratitude, secretly comparing yourself to your mates, knowing that on paper everything looks great.

But deep down you feel lost. Stuck in a cycle of wanting direction but not knowing exactly where to find it.

As a therapist working with clients feeling these exact emotions, I can tell you that direction and certainty comes from being honest with yourself.

When you authentically strive for what you want (not what you think you should want), you start to live a more aligned life. A life that actually feels right, not just looks good from the outside.

Imagine waking up with confidence in your future, knowing you're making decisions that are right for you - the career, the location, the relationship - it all feels natural, comfortable and exciting.

👆This is what therapy is for. And this is the kind of therapy I specialise in. Support for the panic that sets in when you start asking,
"Is this it? There has to be more to life than what I'm feeling right now."

The answer? There is more to life, and you can feel certain about your future - and I'd love to help you along the way!

This is for the anxious girly who reached their goal, but still feels unsure 🫤

We've all be there. We set a goal, something that feels like it will solve all our 'problems'. The promotion that will bring financial stability, the dream proposal that will finally define the relationship.

But when we get there, the uncertainty still sticks around.

Maybe you have the financial stability, or the clearly defined relationship - "so why don't I feel happy now?"

Because happiness comes from striving for a life that truly aligns with you, not just one that looks good on paper.

If you're fed up of aiming for xyz, only to get there and realise that you feel just as anxious, just as uncertain and even more lost than before - therapy might be the missing piece you've been looking for.

Hi I'm Miriam, and I provide therapy designed to help you figure out exactly what is missing from your life. So you can start living with less anxiety, more direction and a happiness that comes from building a life you love living.

Thanks, but 2026 is gonna be different 💁‍♀️

As a therapist that has also felt the mid-20s dread of not having everything 'sorted' - here are the four lessons I'm leaving behind in 2025.

👉Waiting to feel ready before starting
👉Anxiety = I'm on the wrong path
👉Needing a full plan to start
👉There's something wrong with me, that's why I feel stuck

Instead, self-reflection and deep therapeutic work has taught me that I can build a life with...

• Genuine connection, friendships with people that you just get you.
• Confidence to go after the things that matter to you - your dreams.
• Days that feel long and full - not fast and meaningless.
• A partner who compliments and supports the life you want to live.

For the overwhelmed, overthinkers that just want 2026 to bring contentment 💫

I get it, a new year brings the opportunity to get things "right" but if you don't know where to start you might just find yourself feeling anxious, panicked and even more stuck.

You know something needs to change, but you can only describe it as wanting your life to feel 'full'. So where do you start with that?

Well - my therapy is designed to help you with exactly those feelings. You want to break free from comparison, feeling behind, and stagnation.

👉 You want connection (with people that actually get you), to know yourself again, and direction (to work towards something that really feels right for you).

If this resonates and you are thinking that therapy is the next step for you my DM are open for new enquiries.

"It's dark and it's cold, and I feel I'm getting older" 👀🎄 (The Staves put it well! 🎵)

Christmas is a mixed bag, and it can come with a lot of pressure.

You're in your 20s, living an independent life, but every December you still return to your childhood bedroom and find yourself more exhausted than rested by the time Jan 1st comes around.

Here's my take on prioritising yourself during the festive season...

It's as simple as asking yourself 'what do I need?' but it comes with the difficulty of setting that boundary verbally or practically.

Protecting your time and energy is even more important around Christmas 🎁 but hopefully these pointers give you a good place to start.

If 2026 has you questioning whether this is the year to start therapy, maybe this is your sign ✨

In therapy together I allow you space to slow down, reconnect with yourself and learn how to prioritise your needs without feeling selfish or guilty.

I'm Miriam, and I'm a Therapist for anxious 20-somethings :)

If this post resonated, consider sharing so others can also see the benefits of prioritising themselves this Santa-season.

Hi, I'm Miriam :) I'm a specialist therapist working with anxious 20-somethings who are ready to feel secure about their choices, and excited about their future.

This New Year imagine no longer dreading the "What's next?" questions. Imagine not anxiously questioning everything and no longer being in decision paralysis. Imagine knowing things will fall into place, not because the universe willed it that way, but because you had the confidence to build the life you wanted to live.

☀️more time with friends feeling comfortable without comparing your life stages
☀️secure in your relationship (or being single), knowing it is the right choice for you right now
☀️ no more pressure because you're carving your own timeline, not burdened by societal milestones

I've been where you are, and all of this is possible - but you don't have to do it alone!

Follow @therapy_isthisit for this kind of support! I'm so glad you're here ❤️

Fed up of feeling stuck? This one's for you 👇

I get it, the paralysis is real. Everyday you feel like you're stagnating. Like life is happening to you, rather than for you.

You try to break it down into individual questions... "I'll start with, where do I want to live"
But the reality is, every time you do this you get flooded with a million more questions or considerations:

"Maybe I shouldn't settle somewhere & I should travel instead"

"Maybe I could start a business, which would mean staying at mum and dad's a little longer"

"Maybe I want to move to London and live the corporate life"

"Maybe I should turn my back on society (and my student loan) and go and create a simple existence in Scotland... no, Portugal... no, Australia"

In our therapy sessions we can figure-out what dreams you want to make a reality and what is holding you back.

It all starts with you and I'm here to support you through this confusing time - because I'm a therapist making it my life's mission to support 20-somethings through their existential crises ✌️

You keep waiting for purpose to arrive like a parcel you forgot you ordered.

Everyone told you it would just… appear after uni.
Get a job, get a routine, and suddenly you'd wake up feeling sorted, aligned and ready for your “future”.

But instead you’re here in your mid-20s thinking:
Is this… it?

Why does everyone else seem to know what they’re doing? And why am I still refreshing job sites at 1am looking for a sign?

Here’s the tricky part:
Purpose isn’t something you receive.
It’s something you slowly build by figuring out what actually matters to you… not what you think you 'should' want.

That’s where therapy with me comes in.
If you’re tired of feeling directionless and waiting for your “a-ha moment”, I can help you create purpose that feels real, not forced.

Imagine:
• Genuine connection, friendships with people that you just get.
• Confidence to go after the things that matter to you - your dreams.
• Days that feel long and full - not wasted and meaningless.
• A partner who compliments and supports the life you want to live.

A sense of purpose feels like it is missing in your life, but you don't know why, or where it has gone ❓

The mid-20s slump hits you - you're out of full-time education, and you're fending for yourself now.

The mission: get a job, settle down with someone and feel okay with it all.

But you just feel empty, like something is missing - but you're not sure what. So you start to think: "my life must be missing purpose!"

Well, as a qualified therapist specialised in helping anxious 20-somethings figure out their lives, I can tell you that purpose is only half of the story.

The real issue you are facing is being disconnected from yourself. Your values, your wishes, your needs - they went *poof* during the scramble to prove yourself, climb 'the ladder' and hit the 'milestones'.

Hard relate? Need help figuring it all out, and think therapy is worth a shot? I have some remaining availability before Xmas'25 :)

😞 You keep nodding along when they talk about the future - the bigger house, the kids, the “ideal” next step.

But deep down? Your stomach drops a little every time. Not because the dreams are wrong but because they don’t feel like yours anymore.

You tell yourself: “It’s normal to feel unsure.” “It’ll make sense when we get there.” “I just need to be less anxious.”

But here’s what you might need reminding of:
💖 You can love someone and feel misaligned with the life you’re building together.
🙉 Anxiety isn’t always a warning sign about the relationship, sometimes it’s a sign you’ve stopped listening to yourself.
👀 Going along with someone else’s plan doesn’t evidence your commitment, sometimes it just means you’re scared to imagine your own future.

A thought from a therapist specialised in supporting 20-somethings👉👉👉
Your dreams aren’t too much, unrealistic, or selfish - they’re clues to the person you want to become (and should be prioritised too!)

If you’re starting to feel the tension between who you were and who your partner is asking you to be… therapy can help you explore all of this and more.

In our work, you get space to hear your own voice again, reconnect with your values, and understand what this anxiety is really trying to tell you.

If you’re tired of moulding yourself around someone else’s life plan, I’m here.

You've started thinking "Maybe I should try therapy"...

There will be a time in your 20s when you feel stuck, unsure and quietly panicked about the future. And you start thinking… “Maybe I should try therapy.”

👉If you’re living in that place of:
• craving purpose but not knowing where to find it
• feeling disconnected from yourself
• wanting more but not knowing what “more” even is
• pretending you’re fine because everyone else looks sorted

You’re not broken. You’re overwhelmed. And therapy can help you find direction again.

If this is where you are right now, you’re not alone - I can help.

Most 20-somethings daydream about a different life in a different place. And as a quarter-life therapist who helps clients navigate self doubt and big decisions, I have a few thoughts.

Plus, I moved from the UK to Sweden three months ago. Here’s what I’ve learnt so far:

1. Moving abroad comes with gains and losses. You might leave family, friends or familiar routines behind. Feeling excited and sad at the same time is normal. Every big decision involves both.

2. Be prepared to feel uncomfortable. Change happens through discomfort. There will be moments where you need to push through the awkwardness of making new friends or speaking a new language. Growth comes from doing the thing even when the self doubt shows up.

3. The big one: moving abroad won’t automatically fix uncertainty. If it meets a real need, amazing. But it won’t solve deeper feelings you haven’t addressed. Sit with the decision and make sure it’s coming from your true values, not from panic.

All that said, moving has been exciting, grounding and fulfilling for me. It can be all of those things for you too!

If you’re sitting there thinking “Would moving actually help?” - therapy can help you figure that out, without the overthinking spiral.

Follow @therapy_isthisit for support with anxiety, self doubt and navigating your 20s and 30s. I’d love to have you here!

You’re not a bad person for wanting more from your life.

I know it feels like you’re the problem, but you’re not.

You tell yourself you should just be grateful. You have a job, a relationship, a life that looks “fine”… so why does something still feel like it’s missing?

You worry that wanting more makes you unappreciative, dramatic, or “hard to please.”

But here’s the truth: that craving for more isn’t entitlement it’s understanding.

It’s the part of you that knows you’re not living in alignment anymore.

Maybe you want a career that doesn’t drain you.

A relationship that feels secure, not confusing.

A day-to-day that feels exciting, not heavy.

So here’s where things shift.

When you stop shaming yourself for wanting more and start listening to what those feelings are trying to tell you, everything changes.

You realise your desires are information, not flaws.

In therapy, we explore that desire for “more” together.

Where it comes from, what it means, and how to build a life that actually fits you, not the version of you who was just trying to cope.

If you’re in your 20s or 30s and tired of feeling guilty for wanting a life that feels better… I’m here to help.

Follow @therapy_isthisit for more support as you figure out who you’re becoming and how to make those changes to your life 🫶

If you’re stuck weighing up the ‘right choice’, this one’s for you 👇

When you’re trapped between staying and leaving, it’s so easy to doubt yourself or assume the uncertainty means something is “wrong” with you, or the relationship.

But often, the real issue isn’t the relationship…

It’s that you’ve lost touch with yourself.

Therapy helps you untangle what’s fear, what’s become comfortable, and what’s genuinely you.

So that ultimately you can make the decision that actually supports your future, not your anxieties.

If you’re ready to feel clear and grounded in your relationship choices again, my calendar is open for a few new clients. You can book a no-obligation 15 minute free call through my bio 🫶

Have you thought about starting therapy, but not taken the leap? This might be your sign 🔮

I hope to meet you soon!

Loss is scary... especially when it feels like you’ve lost yourself 🫥

Break-ups are brutal. There’s the back and forth conversations, the heart-shattering moments where you wonder why this is even happening.

But when the dust settles, things will start to feel okay again, right?

Then you are hit with the confusion of feeling totally lost without your significant other.

You don’t remember what music you liked before you got together, nor what you wanted for your future.

In therapy, I help you recognise yourself again. We grieve the old you, the one that was partly defined by your relationship, and explore the current you.

👯‍♀️🎨🧭So you can start to build a life that feels like yours. The friendships you want. The style that completes you. The future plans that feel exciting to work towards.

Anxiety eases and the clouds part for the first time in months ☁️

This is the work I do with 20-somethings in therapy.

I’m Miriam, a quarter-life specialist, here to support you with anxiety, identity loss, and confidence-building during this muddled decade of your life 🫶

This is the account for you if you're anxious about the future, questioning those big life decisions, whilst simultaneously wondering why you aren't enjoying your 20s 💟

I was there too - dreading each day, and silently perservering through the quarter-life panic.

Every time someone would ask me what I was 'up-to next' I'd freeze, get a sinking feeling, and wonder why I didn't have it figured out by now... If this sounds familiar read on 👉

Your mental health is a big factor in your life - so perhaps therapy is the natural next step to feeling like *you* again?

I'm a specialist therapist working with anxious 20-somethings who are ready to feel secure about their choices, and excited about the future.

Imagine no longer dreading the "What's next?" questions. Imagine not anxiously questioning everything and no longer being in decision paralysis. Imagine knowing things will fall into place, not because the universe willed it that way, but because you had the confidence to build the life you wanted to live.

☀️more time with friends feeling comfortable without comparing your life stages
☀️secure in your relationship or being single, knowing it is the right choice for you right now
☀️ no more pressure because you're carving your own timeline, not burdened by societal milestones

I've been where you are, and all of this is possible - but you don't have to do it alone!

Follow @therapy_isthisit for this kind of support - you're so welcome here, I'm glad we can connect ❤️

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, this is your sign 🌠

Your 20s aren’t supposed to feel like a constant mix of dread, pressure and “what am I even doing?”

Because that pull you’re feeling? That’s the part of you craving purpose, direction, and a life that actually feels like yours.

In therapy, we strip things back to you - your values, your needs, your pace.

And once you know what genuinely matters to you, the future feels less like a looming deadline and more like something you get to shape with intention (and get excited about again!).

If you're ready to feel purposeful (not panicked) about your next chapter, I’d love to help 🫶

I currently have a rare 5:30pm Tuesday session available... until it's gone. Could that be your time each week to reconnect with yourself, and shape your future with confidence? 👀

Book your free intro call via the link in my bio, or send me a DM if you’d like to chat first 💌 I’m so glad you’re here, and I’d love to meet you!

😭 You look back at your uni self (excited, hopeful and ready for the future) and you think... "Who even was she?"

You followed the trad route: school, uni, career. It felt like the sensible thing to do. And uni was fun. You felt like you were working towards something. You developed your identity, and had a clear path ahead of you.

But now? You're tired. Directionless. A bit numb. Not miserable, just not feeling like you anymore.

Here’s what someone forgot to mention to you post-uni:

✨ Identity doesn’t stay the same, it grows with us.

✨ Purpose doesn’t just “appear” - it is built up of lots of little intentional choices.

✨ You’re not the only one feeling this way. Ever heard of a quarter-life crisis?

Some advice from a specialist therapist: Start by getting real with yourself, and asking what do I want from my day-to-day?

👉 If you’re ready for more support - therapy might be the next intentional choice.

In therapy, we explore what matters to you now: your values, your desires, your direction - so you can enjoy your mid-20s with certainty, sureness and confidence in who you really are.

If you’re ready to stop feeling like a stranger in your own life, I’m here.

"So, what're you up to nowadays?" 😶‍🌫️ *recoils into bed rot & self-doubt*

You’re 26, scrolling through engagement photos and house tours, wondering why everyone else seems so sure of their next step… meanwhile you can’t even decide if you actually want those things or if you just feel like you should.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not lost, you’re just living by other people’s timelines instead of your own.

In therapy, this is where the real work begins.

We explore what matters to you, not what your friends are doing, not what your parents expect, and not what the algorithm says people your age “should” have figured out by now 💅

Because once you understand your own values, decisions stop feeling terrifying.

Your identity stops wobbling.

If you’re ready to feel more sure of who you are (and less panicked about “being behind”), I’d love to support you through it.

Follow @therapy_isthisit for more gentle guidance through your 20s & 30s 💕

#settlingdownworries #quarterlifecrisis #lifeinyour20s #quarterlifetherapist #comparison #decisionparalysis #getunstuck #selfdoubttoselftrust #moderntherapy #therapyforoverwhelm

Worrying about your future is normal… but when it shapes every decision you make (or don't make)?

That’s quarter-life anxiety - and it can be debilitating 💔

You tell yourself you should have things figured out by now. Your mum is asking when you'll settle-down and make her a grandmother 👀

But all you can think about is what is the "correct" next move. Is it travel? Is it sticking-out this job? Is it committing to *this* relationship?

The truth is, the reason you feel stuck isn’t indecision, it’s the fear of choosing “wrong” and regretting it later.

So you keep delaying the big stuff: signing a lease, changing jobs, ending (or committing to) a relationship. Not because you don’t care enough to decide, but because the pressure of getting it right feels huge.

Here's my insight as a therapist working with 20-somethings: You don’t need a perfect plan to move forward. You need self-trust (and that’s something we build step by step in therapy).

If your 20s feel like one long loop of “What if I mess this up?”, I’m here to help you find direction and calm so you can make decisions with confidence again. Maybe therapy is the natural next-step?

Mum stops asking about grandchildren because you're oozing contentment with your current life path, there's joy and purpose in your days again 🌞

Quarter-life anxiety is no-longer holding you back because you invested in working out exactly what it is you need & want 💆‍♀️

Resonate, and want that too? Follow @therapy_isthisit for support through your quarter-life years ✨

Your career doesn't have to define you 👏

It's the thing that we work towards from as early as 14 (when we start picking GCSEs) and our parents/teachers start asking "what job would you like to have?"

So no wonder we adopt it as our badge of honour when we finally feel we have reached success, or status, or stability 🏅

But when your identity becomes entangled with work, you start to lose yourself.

You feel disconnected and uncertain about what truly fulfills you.

As a therapist who works with 20-somethings going through this exact feeling, I know that the answer isn't to double down and apply for the next promotion...

I help my clients redefine themselves outside of their work-life and develop the confidence to start relationships, build friendships, move cities and have hobbies!

All these things👆 bring colour to your life - and you deserve to feel colourful in your 20s - not isolated by your loss of identity🪞

If this speaks to you, we can start working together in therapy sessions. First, book your free intro call via the link in my bio - I really look forward to meeting you!

You're living in a quiet limbo 😐

You're worrying about what your boss or parents would say if you walked away - "Why are you giving up?"

You convince yourself “everyone hates their job a little!”

But the truth is, you’re tired of pretending.

Tired of practicing your resignation speech in the car… then talking yourself out of it.

Tired of envying your friend who freelances, even though you say you “couldn’t handle the uncertainty.”

You say, “it’s fine for now,” even though now has lasted two years.

As a therapist working with clients in their 20s and 30s, I can see how the fear of change is keeping you stuck in a career that doesn't light you up.

In therapy we remind you of why you started, we revisit what led you to this point, and make sense of what is holding you back from moving on.

You are more than your job, and sometimes you loose sight of that. But working together we can explore your identity outside of your career and build the confidence to shape a future that REALLY fits you 🪞

This one's for you if LinkedIn is taking up more screen time than before... 😩

The weekends blur by, leaving you wondering “is this what I want to be doing for the rest of my life?”

You don’t necessarily hate your job (well some days you do), but you’ve lost enthusiasm for showing-up there everyday!

The answer isn’t booking more weekends away, or striving for that promotion with the bigger salary...

The answer comes from self-reflection - and realigning with what it is you want from your working life.

Scrolling LinkedIn will not bring the epiphany you are searching for. First you need to be honest with yourself - and this is what I do with my clients inside therapy.

If you like the sound of being gently supported through this process, and rediscovering a work-life that brings satisfaction -then therapy is the place to start.

I have availability on Wednesdays at 4.30pm (BST)

When you talk about these things with friends, family, or your slightly intrusive co-worker, they want to advise or recommend, or impart their opinions on to you 👀

In therapy we explore these topics at your own pace, with the respect, trust, and compassion you deserve.

1. How you feel about those big life choices...
We're talking- career, living situation, relationship status, to travel or not to travel, and whether you see kids in your future.

2. How your past has shaped your present...
To explore your past is to empower you with the knowledge of what has shaped you, and what might continue to influence your future.

3. Your identity...
We consider what kind of person you are, what do you value, what are the small things that make you happy, what do you want your day-to-day to look like. Who you are, and what you stand for.

Therapy is a place for you to empty your head of expectations and external opinions, and really get to know what you want and need for your present - and future!

POV: You thought loosing them would be the hardest part - turns out it's finding yourself again

Maybe you’ve grieved the relationship, you’ve made peace with it ending, you’ve even started to date again. But something feels like it still missing.

You try to distract yourself, hoping if you give it long enough your self-of-self will return and you’ll embrace this new version of you.

The problem is, distraction will not reduce the loss of identity you are feeling. Uncertainty and anxiety are still subtly calling the shots - but it doesn’t have to stay like this.

Therapy is here for you in the messy in-between.
The “I’m glad I’m moving on, I’m just scared of where I am going” feeling.

You’re not starting from scratch, you’re re-building yourself and that can be the most exciting, empowering phase of being single.

Together, I guide you through this process of exploration, so that your next relationship is not filling a void - but adding more colour to an already colourful life!

If you like the sound of how I work, and feel you need this kind of support I’m taking on limited new clients before Christmas 🎄

We can speak for free first (with a FREE intro call) before you commit to therapy - because much like your next relationship, it has to feel right for you!

#therapyforbreakups #quarterlifecrisis #lifeinyour20s #quarterlifetherapist #comparison #decisionparalysis #getunstuck #selfdoubttoselftrust #moderntherapy #therapyforoverwhelm

👇Here are my thoughts, as a specialist therapist

You keep hoping things will go back to how they were, that the feelings will come back if you just wait it out, try harder, or “get through this phase.”

But deep down, you know it’s different now. The connection that once felt easy feels forced. It’s frustrating, it’s disappointing - but you’re not really acting on those feelings.

Maybe you’re scared of what comes next. Scared of regret. Scared of starting again. Scared of the unknown. So you stay in ‘it’ riding the waves of anxiety and uncertainty.

But here’s what I know as a quarter-life therapist working with women in their 20s and 30s:

👉Sometimes the anxiety you’re feeling isn’t a sign to hold on tighter - it’s your body’s way of saying, you’ve already started to let go.

Soft-launching your break-up only prolongs the feelings of discomfort and uncertainty.

In therapy, we work through your fear of change, so you can trust yourself to make decisions that feel right for you, not just comfortable and familiar.

Because deciding what is right for you (and acting on it!) is your ticket to relationships and connections that light-you-up - not keep you stuck.

What even is ‘disconnection’ anyway? 🌥️

It’s that nagging feeling that you aren’t understanding each other anymore. It’s the feeling that you’ve lost something but you can’t quite put your finger on what.

In therapy, we explore this feeling at your own pace. We figure out what is going on for you, recognise your growth, and re-connect you with yourself.

Then we notice how this is impacting your relationship - and where those feelings of disconnect are rooted.

Feeling disconnected doesn’t have to signal the end, it can mean the start of something new and aligned.

If you’re feeling this way in your relationship, and have been considering therapy - have you thought about working with a specialist?

I specialise in helping women make sense of their goals, careers, purpose, and relationships - in their 20s and 30s.

The mid-20 uncertainty, anxiety and overwhelm doesn’t have to stick around!

Hi, I’m Miriam ✨ I’m a therapist who specialises in supporting women through their quarter-life years (your 20s & 30s).

I get it - this era of your life can feel isolating. You're anxious you've lost your way, or you never found your path. You're panicked, uncertain, and tired of the pressures.

One minute you’re living with friends at uni, deciding if you really need another house plant… the next you’re wondering whether you should get on the 'property ladder', go travelling, stick out your career, settle down in this relationship, or completely start a fresh. It’s a lot, all at once. And it can sometimes feel like there’s not a clear way forward.

But as a therapist who’s been exactly there, and felt all of the uncertainty of this decade, I’m now supporting others through specialist quarter-life therapy.

In therapy I help you to:
➡ move through decision-paralysis so you can feel confident making choices about your future.

➡ stop feeling stuck, and begin reconnecting with who you are and what you want.

➡ ease the anxiety about ‘running out of’ or ‘wasting time’ so you can actually enjoy the stage of life you’re in.

➡ let go of comparison, build self-worth, and start feeling proud of your own path.

So that ultimately, you can feel clear about your future, and confident to start living in alignment with what really matters to you. Whether that's pursuing that dream career, finding a relationship or friendship group that truly fits you, or booking that one-way ticket to try living abroad 💕

If this speaks to you, I’d love to connect - because you really don’t have to go it alone.

This one’s for the women going through friendship break-ups ❤️‍🩹 It hits differently!

Therapy isn’t just for romantic heartbreak, it’s also for the grief that comes from growing apart, being left out, or no longer prioritising the people you once did.

In my sessions, I help clients explore that loss with compassion. We look at what that friendship meant to you, how it shaped your identity, and how to bring back a sense of connection and belonging - even when things change.

Because healing from friendship break-ups isn’t about “moving on” - it’s about understanding what you’ve lost, and what you need now.

You learn how to invest in new, meaningful connections without self-doubt💫

If you’re navigating the grief of growing apart, therapy can help you feel grounded and whole again.

🫶 I’m taking on new clients who are ready to feel all the feels their 20s has to throw at them!

#therapyforfriendship #quarterlifecrisis #lifeinyour20s #quarterlifetherapist #comparison #decisionparalysis #getunstuck #selfdoubttoselftrust #moderntherapy #therapyforoverwhelm

The truth is, defining the friendship with the title of 'bridesmaid' won't actually change things💔

You still love them, but the friendship doesn’t feel as natural anymore. You’re holding on to what it used to feel like, not what it is now.

Here’s what I remind my clients in therapy:
🪞You can’t force closeness. You can only nurture connection where it still has space to grow.

When you stop trying to “fix” the friendship and instead accept where you both are now, you free yourself to build connection that feels real, not forced.

Friendships aren’t meant to stay frozen in time. They grow, change, and sometimes (yes, I'm going to say it) they come to an end.

It’s okay to grieve how things used to be, it's painful and confusing.
But it’s also okay to stop fighting the change.

Therapy helps you to honour what you used to have, without guilt for what’s changing. So you can feel at peace with what’s shifting, instead of anxious about it.

If this spoke to what you're going through right now, just know things will get easier🫶

You’ve grown, they’ve grown… but somehow, you’ve grown apart💭

You keep replaying old memories, wondering if there’s something you could do to fix it - a message, a meet-up, anything to feel close again. But deep down, despite genuinely believing you did not do anything wrong, you know it’s not the same.

Here’s the hard truth: sometimes we don’t lose friends, we simply outgrow the version of ourselves that fit within that friendship. And that hurts.

In therapy, I help my clients find peace in that in-between, where the friendship changes but still holds a lot of meaning.

You can still value what was and make space for what’s next🌱

If you’re anxiously navigating the messy middle of friendship shifts, therapy can help you feel grounded again, confident in who you are and calm about the relationships you choose to nurture🤍

You’re not lazy - that’s not the problem 🙅‍♀️

I know it feels like you are. You can’t get out of bed with enthusiasm, you struggle to build that dream morning routine - but the thing that is actually holding you back is your fear.

You’re anxious about making the wrong choices... because what if you never feel ready to face the day every morning?
What if that morning run never feels easier?
What if re-joining the dating apps ends in the same old situationship as last time?

So, here’s how you change things. We face the fear - you do the scary thing, despite the lack of motivation. You prove to yourself you are worth trying for.

And when we do this again, and again - we develop that self-trust that is lacking from that initial decision. The scary thing becomes less scary and we have the motivation to keep going.

If you feel like your 20s or 30s are being ruled by ‘lack of motivation’ - I’m here to support you through it. Follow @therapy_isthisit

Okay - but why do we not talk about this phase of life enough? 👀

It's the messy middle between 'graduating' as an adult and actually having to pay your own phone contract 🥲

We've all heard of a mid-life crisis... characterised by sports cars, dating partners half their age and taking-up cycling (in lycra) 🫣

But what about the quarter-life crisis? I'm here to shine a light on the intense overwhelm of our 20s to 30s.

Break-ups, career changes, moving away, settling down - needing to have it "all figured out!"

I'm a therapist that specifically works with this phase of life 👋

If that interests you - hit follow ✨

I've said it so many times, but here's what I mean when I say - "I've been there too"

You're done with school, you're done with uni, maybe you're even done with living with the parents. You think - "time for life to really begin" 🌱

Now you're mid to late 20s and you're asking yourself - "is this it?" Life suddenly doesn't feel exciting anymore, yet you're expecting to know what you're doing next.

In fact, you're also expected to have: a career, a stable relationship, a home, a work-life balance, a solid friendship group, a reliable savings account, and a desire for the next milestones (marriage, babies, mortgage) 😱

But you don't feel like making any decisions, because it's all become too much and you feel like you are simultaneously stuck whilst time is moving at a million miles per hour.

👆I've felt all of those things. I've been there. I know how isolating and disappointing it feels to not have it 'all figured out'.

When I was going through all this, I turned to Google, my boyfriend, my friends and family for answers but came away still feeling so disheartened and unsure of how to get out of the panic...

This is when I began therapy and became aware of what needed to change. As a trainee therapist myself, I could see how tailored self-reflection, and goal orientated support would assist during this uncertain phase of life!

So, I made it my mission to support others in redefining their 20s and 30s. Now I help people like you regain the confidence to go after what you want, make the (big, scary) decisions that loom over this decade, find joy in the everyday again, recognise when to invest or leave relationships and gain back the years that we do not want to miss out on 💫

You’ve been stuck in that “should I stay or walk away” loop for months, torn between what you feel and what you fear.

But the truth is, staying out of fear of regret isn’t keeping you safe, it’s keeping you stuck.

In therapy, we work through that fear together.

You’ll learn to separate guilt from intuition, fear from truth, and finally trust yourself to make the right choice - for you.

You don’t need to have all the answers right now. You just need a space to start figuring them out.

✨ Book your free intro call through the link in my bio and let’s help you find peace in your ‘big’ decisions together!

#fearofregret #quarterlifecrisis #lifeinyour20s #quarterlifetherapist #comparison #decisionparalysis #getunstuck #selfdoubttoselftrust #moderntherapy #therapyforoverwhelm

You tell yourself it’s safer to stay where you are - same town, same people, same routine.

But deep down, you know it’s not safety. It’s fear.

Fear of getting it wrong. Fear of missing what you’ve outgrown.

In therapy, I help women explore these crossroads.

So they can make confident decisions about their next chapter, without being ruled by “what ifs.”

You don’t have to know exactly where you’re going. You just have to be ready to move towards yourself 🫶

This ones for all the girlies that say: “But it’s not that bad...”

I first heard about the Beta Paradox - otherwise known as the region-beta paradox - from a song by Yeemz 🎵

This upbeat melody stuck with me, not because it’s a bop (which it is btw) - but because I was captivated by this definition of a phenomenon that I witness all the time in therapy😬

Clients say to me: “Oh, I was just tolerating the job that makes me miserable. It wasn’t unbearable, but I could’ve gotten out way sooner!”

✅Yes - and it’s okay to make the changes before things get ‘too bad’.

So much can be gained from shifting this perspective early, getting to know what it is you really want and diminishing the anxiety that holds us back 🙌

That job you’re tolerating? You have the courage to quit and find something more aligned.

The relationship that feels safe but no-longer lights you up? You re-evaluate things and choose to let go now, instead of waiting until the ‘right time’.

And we can do this exploration together in therapy 🫶
