Therapy Services In Nottingham
Finding the right support when you need it most is essential. At Striving Lotus Psychotherapy, I provide a range of therapy services that are tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you are seeking help for anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or past trauma, I am here to support you at your own pace in a welcoming and confidential space.
What I Can Help You With?
I work with a wide range of concerns and life challenges. Below are some of the key areas where I offer support, but this list is not exhaustive. If your concern isn't listed, please feel free to get in touch as I may still be able to help you.
Neurodiversity
Living with a neurodivergent mind can shape the way you experience the world, your energy, focus, relationships, emotions, and sense of self. There is no “right” way to be neurodivergent, and many people carry both strengths and struggles that others may not always understand.
Therapy can offer a steady, respectful space to explore what it’s like to move through life with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent traits. This may include looking at overwhelm, masking, burnout, sensory sensitivity, identity, relationships, or the impact of growing up misunderstood.
You’re welcome to bring whatever your experience looks like. Together, we can make sense of it at your pace, honouring who you are
Anxiety & Panic Attacks
Many people struggle with anxiety and panic attacks at different stages of life. These feelings can be overwhelming and make it difficult to focus on daily activities or enjoy the present moment.
I offer therapy that focuses on understanding the root causes of anxiety and developing practical strategies to manage it.
During our sessions, we will work together to identify the triggers that heighten your stress and explore methods for reducing anxiety's impact, so that you can regain a sense of calm and control in your life.
Depression
Depression can feel like a heavy burden, sapping motivation and creating a sense of hopelessness.
My aim is to create a compassionate space where you feel heard and understood as we work together to explore the underlying factors contributing to your depression.
Through therapy, we can look at the thoughts and patterns that are maintaining the low mood and find ways to shift these, helping to restore a sense of purpose and hope for the future.
PTSD & Trauma
Trauma can leave lasting effects on how we think, feel and relate to the world around us. Whether you have experienced a single traumatic event or ongoing trauma, I provide a safe space to process these experiences at your own pace.
Using approaches including EMDR, I can help you work through traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. This therapeutic work aims to help you integrate these experiences in a way that allows for healing and moving forward with greater ease.
Relationship Issues
Relationships can be one of the most rewarding yet challenging aspects of life. Whether you're facing difficulties in a romantic relationship, family dynamics or friendships, therapy can provide a space to explore these concerns.
I can help you understand patterns in your relationships, improve communication and develop healthier ways of relating to others. Working through relationship issues can lead to more fulfilling connections and a better understanding of your own needs.
Bereavement & Grief
Losing someone you care about can be one of the most painful experiences in life. Grief affects everyone differently, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. I offer a supportive environment where you can process your feelings of loss, explore the impact it has had on your life and find ways to move forward whilst honouring your loved one.
Bereavement can bring up complex emotions, and I'm here to walk alongside you through this difficult time with compassion and understanding.
My approach is grounded in understanding where you feel challenged and meeting you there, with curiosity about the patterns and processes that have shaped your experience. I do not diagnose and hold diagnoses as contextual, rather than defining. What matters most is understanding you as a whole person, not as a label.
Additional Areas Of Support
In addition to the services above, I have experience working with a broad range of concerns.These include addiction, fertility and sexual health, self-harm, anger, eating disorders, domestic violence and sexual abuse.
I also work with childhood trauma, autism and ADHD, OCD, work-related stress, and personality development. Further areas include separation and divorce, suicidal ideation, physical and mental abuse, attachment issues, cancer, disability and learning disability.
I can also support with retirement, redundancy, bullying and harassment, and religious or spiritual abuse.
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

Sessions & Fees
Sessions last for 50 minutes and will take place at the agreed time and location established during our initial consultation. Sessions are usually held on a weekly basis.
We will regularly review our work together, allowing space to reflect on progress and to adjust or maintain your goals as needed. The ending of therapy will be approached thoughtfully and respectfully and will be discussed and explored together when the time feels right for you.
Sessions are available online or face-to-face and cost £45 per session.
EMDR sessions require a double session and are charged accordingly.
I believe therapy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. If my fees feel out of reach, please get in touch.
