Dhespina

Hi, I’m Dhespina!

Therapy with me is collaborative and exploratory, with room for reflection, humour, and unexpected moments of insight. I support you in reconnecting with the part of yourself that knows what you need and how you want to heal, even when that part feels difficult to access.

I have trained in Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, and Hakomi Therapy. My approach is relational, somatic, and trauma-informed. This means I do not see therapy as simply a place to talk, but as a space where you can experience new feelings, perspectives, and ways of relating to yourself and others.

What I Help With

I help adults understand the patterns that leave them feeling anxious, disconnected, or stuck, so they can feel more grounded, develop a clearer sense of what they want, and have more choice in how they relate to themselves and others.

Anxiety & Inner Pressure

  • Anxiety, overthinking, and difficulty settling into the present
  • People-pleasing, self-criticism, and worrying about how others see you

Trauma, Grief & Disconnection

  • Difficult past experiences that continue to shape the present
  • Emotional numbness, disconnection from your body, grief, and loss

Relationships & Life Direction

  • Repeating family and relationship patterns
  • Burnout, low mood, and uncertainty about what you want next
