Dreams are powerful. They can be strange, vivid, disturbing, or deeply symbolic. For some, they bring insight. For others, especially when nightmares or night terrors are frequent, they can be a source of distress, anxiety, or exhaustion.
If your dreams are affecting your sleep, mood, or daily life, therapy can help you explore what’s going on beneath the surface. Rather than simply dismissing troubling dreams, I offer a space to explore them as meaningful reflections of your emotional life—often expressing what can’t yet be said in waking words.
What Your Nightlife Might Be Saying
You may be:
- Experiencing recurring nightmares or night terrors
- Struggling with anxiety-related or trauma-related dreams
- Waking up feeling unsettled, afraid, or emotionally drained
- Trying to make sense of intense or symbolic dreams
- Feeling confused or ashamed about the content of your dreams
Dreams often carry emotional information—grief, fear, desire, or past experiences—that your mind may not fully process during the day. Therapy offers a safe, grounded place to unpack this inner material.
A Therapeutic Approach to Your Inner Night World
In our sessions, I provide:
- A gentle, exploratory approach to dream analysis and interpretation
- Support in working through anxiety, trauma, or fear that might be fuelling distressing dreams
- Techniques to improve sleep quality and reduce night-time distress
- Creative tools drawn from Gestalt, Jungian, and person-centred therapy to uncover meaning
- A safe space where even the most uncomfortable dreams can be explored without shame
Nightmares or recurring dreams can feel like your mind is trying to tell you something—and I can help you listen.
