Fighting Dissociation, Derealisation, and Depersonalisation

Dissociation, derealisation, and depersonalisation are experiences where you might feel disconnected from yourself or the world around you. It can feel unsettling—like you’re “watching” events happen rather than being an active participant, or that the world around you has turned somehow unreal or dreamlike. These experiences can be unpleasant or even very distressing, especially when they come on suddenly or persist over time.

I understand how uncomfortable and sometimes frightening these states can be. In my approach, I help clients understand these feelings, learn techniques to return to the present moment and re-connect with your mind and your body, and explore underlying triggers or stressors. Through gentle exploration, we work together on strategies to manage dissociation, so you can re-engage with everyday life feeling more solid and in control. My background in both clinical and integrative counselling means I can draw on multiple methods to provide a tailored plan that addresses your individual needs.
