SANTOS PSYCHOTHERAPY
Going beyond symptom management
You might already know that you’re struggling but unable to think your way out of it. Constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, preparing for what might go wrong or trying to control the uncontrollable. You may feel an exhausting pressure to get things right in everything you do.
You may already understand why you feel the way you do. You might have read the books, listened to the podcasts
and tried all the things you’re “supposed” to do.
But insight alone doesn’t create change.
This is why my therapy goes deeper than managing symptoms.
Together, we explore why you feel and react the way you do — the patterns, beliefs and protective strategies that have shaped how you relate to yourself and navigate your relationships and parenthood.
The aim isn’t to help you become better at holding everything together.
It’s to help you loosen the grip of anxiety, guilt, self-criticism and the relentless need to have everything to a certain standard and under control.
To have more choice in how you respond. More trust in yourself. To hold onto the qualities that are serving you and feel safe enough to let go and allow yourself to be comfortable in being imperfect, lighter, more spontaneous and have more room for joy and play.
And ultimately, more freedom to experience parenthood and live your life on your own terms.

A one-off Birth Debrief
A birth debrief offers an opportunity to talk through and reflect on your experiences of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. These sessions provide space to explore your experiences in its entirety - without judgement, pressure or expectation; and can help parents gain greater clarity, insight and emotional closure around what they experienced.
Parents may also gain supportive tools to help them move forward with more confidence, self-compassion and emotional capacity.
Can be on individual basis or together with birthing partner
Each debrief session lasts up to 2 hours and includes a 30-minute follow-up session.
Fees are:
Online £195 / In person: £200
