Psychosis Support – Staying With You When Reality Feels Fragile
More Than Just Symptoms
Experiences like hearing voices, feeling watched, believing things others don’t understand, or losing touch with what’s real are often called psychosis. But I see more than symptoms. I see a person navigating something profound, frightening, and often deeply misunderstood.
If you’ve been through—or are currently in—an altered state of reality, you may feel unsure who to trust. You may have been hospitalised, medicated, or told that your experiences are meaningless or dangerous. But in our work together, your experiences matter. They are not pathologised—they are listened to.
Holding the Story Without Collapsing Into It
I work in a grounded, steady way. I don’t join you in delusion—but I also don’t tear it down. We make space to explore what’s happening without forcing coherence too soon. We can sit with the content of your experience gently and safely. Sometimes the images, beliefs, or voices carry emotional truth, metaphor, or meaning. Other times, they’re simply fragments of a mind under immense pressure. Either way, they deserve attention.
I stay with you through the confusion. Through the fear. Through the strange beauty or terror of it. I’m not here to fix, correct, or contain you. I’m here to walk alongside you, even if the road feels chaotic or unclear.
Not Just You—Your Nervous System Too
Intense mental states often come with physical disorganisation. Sleep disruption, adrenaline surges, difficulty grounding in your body. We’ll work gently with your nervous system, helping you build more capacity to stay anchored—even when the world inside or outside feels unreal.
This might include noticing early signs of overwhelm, co-regulating in session, or finding practices that soothe rather than numb. But it’s never forced. You are the expert on your own rhythms.
Relationship Is the Anchor
What helps people through psychosis, time and time again, is not just medication—it’s relationship. Someone willing to stay. To witness. To offer calm when the world feels unrecognisable.
Our therapeutic relationship becomes a kind of lifeline. One where you can return to, again and again, to find a sense of orientation and dignity. Even in your most scattered moments, you are still worthy of connection.
Integration Over Time
If you’ve had an experience that felt like a rupture—a break from reality, or a breakthrough too large to process alone—I offer integration work that respects the spiritual, emotional, and psychological layers of what you’ve gone through. We won’t rush to explain it. Instead, we make space to feel into what this experience means for you, and how you might carry it forward with greater steadiness.
You may never have been given permission to make meaning from your experiences without being called unwell. I offer you that permission here.
You Are Not Alone
Psychosis can be isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. You deserve a place where you can show up exactly as you are—disoriented, wary, hopeful, fragmented—and still be met with care.
If you're seeking support that honours your experience without reducing you to a label, I’m here.
