Helping you to heal from emotionally immature people.

Sarah* came to therapy because she was struggling with her relationship with her mother. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it but whenever she went to see her mother, she came away feeling like something had been taken away from her.

No one else quite seemed to understand what she was going through as even her siblings didn’t seem to feel the same way. Often feeling like the “black sheep” of the family, Sarah's decisions were constantly questioned, like she wasn’t capable of doing anything without her mother’s prior approval.

Sarah felt guilty for resenting her mother. Her mum had physically been there for her when she was growing up - she had always cooked tea after school, took Sarah to activities and after-school clubs, and did the best she could with the resources she had, but there was something missing in their relationship.

Let me tell you about Sarah…

Woman with head in hands on safe

Does this sound familiar?

Do you feel depleted and drained after spending time with your parent?

Does a conversation with them leave you feeling not good enough?

Do you struggle with resentment for a parent that you also love?

Sarah was at the end of her tether, and her relationships with her partner and children were suffering as a result.

After working with Sarah;

She is now able to attend family functions happy and excited to see other family members and comes away feeling proud and confident.

She is able to maintain a relationship with her mother, without letting it consume her and take over her life.

She is self-assured and unshaken by her mother’s remarks - living life on her own terms.

Her mental well-being is healthy and is no longer dependent on interactions with her mother.

Sarah’s mother displayed classic signs of emotional immaturity.

Unfortunately, you cannot control an emotionally immature person, all you can do is control how you respond and how you manage the relationship. I helped Sarah to build a healthy relationship with her mum AND protect her own mental well-being, and I can support you to do the same.
