01
Welcome
You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin.
Therapy can offer room to slow down and hear yourself more clearly. Together, we can look at what feels difficult, make sense of familiar patterns, and explore what change might look like for you.
The work is collaborative, respectful and shaped around the person you are—not a formula you need to fit.
Therapy with Rory
Support for the things that weigh on you.
People come to therapy for many reasons. You may be facing a clear difficulty, or simply know that something no longer feels right.
Loss & change
Making space for grief, transitions and the endings we did not choose.
Low mood
Understanding heaviness, disconnection and a loss of energy or meaning.
Relationships
Exploring boundaries, belonging and the patterns that shape connection.
Identity & self-worth
Meeting yourself with more clarity, compassion and confidence.
Past experiences
Gently making sense of experiences that continue to affect the present.
“Change begins with the experience of being heard.”
The approach
Human first.
Always collaborative.
A relationship built on trust
A warm, non-judgemental working relationship is at the heart of meaningful therapy. We begin by creating a space where you can be honest and feel met as you are.
Tailored to you
Different people need different things. The pace and focus of the work are shaped together, with room for both reflection and practical ways of responding.
Grounded in the present
Your past can help us understand the present, while therapy also supports you to recognise choices and build a life that feels more your own.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?
You do not need a diagnosis or a perfectly clear goal. A first conversation can help you decide whether talking things through in therapy feels like a useful next step.
What happens in the first session?
It is a chance to talk about what has brought you, what you hope for, and any questions you have. You can get a sense of Rory’s way of working before deciding how you would like to continue.
Is what I say confidential?
Confidentiality is central to therapy. Its boundaries and the limited exceptions to it will be discussed clearly before the work begins.
