MY APPROACH
I'm Bryn, I'm an Integrative therapist based in Sheffield.
I’m a therapist who believes healing happens in real, messy, human moments. Not in perfection. Not in having all the answers. But in showing up honestly, with curiosity and compassion.
My work is rooted in the understanding that we are nervous systems before we are narratives. That our bodies hold stories long before we have words for them. I help people slow down, tune in, and reconnect with themselves and others in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.
I’m especially passionate about working with intimacy, desire, shame, and identity. These are spaces where people often feel misunderstood, judged, or “too much.” In this room, you don’t have to shrink. We can talk about the things that feel awkward, confusing, or hard to say out loud. Gently. At your pace.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m human first, therapist second. I don’t hide behind jargon or distance. I’ll meet you where you are, with warmth, humour when appropriate, and a deep respect for your lived experience.
My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and body-aware. That means we pay attention not just to what you think, but how you feel, how your body responds, and what your nervous system needs in order to feel safe enough to change.
You don’t need to be “fixed.”
You don’t need to perform wellness.
You just need a space where you’re allowed to be real.And that’s what I aim to offer.
