When fitting in means losing touch with yourself…
You may look as though you’re coping, while inside you’re questioning your worth, feeling alone, or wondering who you are beneath the effort to keep everyone else comfortable.
Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” or wondered why everything feels so much. You’re tired of hiding parts of yourself just to get through the day. You feel exhausted from going over every conversation and watching other people seem to move through life with ease, while each day feels like a struggle for you.
It can be hard to know where you end, and everyone else begins. You might find yourself adapting to keep the peace, then feeling drained and lonely, and trying to understand why it’s so hard to prioritise your own needs.
If this sounds familiar, you don’t have to keep pretending you’re OK. Together we can explore what makes it hard to put yourself first and what keeps you feeling stuck in these patterns. Over time you can begin to feel more comfortable setting boundaries and being with others in a way that feels true to you.
The Meaning Behind Enso
The name Enso comes from a Japanese word meaning circle. In Zen tradition, it symbolises a moment of stillness, presence and connection, often drawn in one expressive and free flowing brushstroke. It’s imperfect by nature, and that’s part of its meaning; beauty in the incomplete, peace in the unfinished.
Just as the Enso is created in one breath with a few simple strokes, counselling is not about ‘fixing’ you. Through our sessions, I will help you find balance, presence, and confidence within yourself, just like the Enso represents.
For me, Enso represents the heart of therapy; a space to be fully yourself, without needing to be perfect. A place where you can show up just as you are, from feeling messy, stuck, or unsure to looking for ways to develop and gently reconnect with who you are.
