Welcome!
I'm really glad you're here.
Maybe from the outside, it looks like you’re doing okay, but inside, something feels... off. You might be tired of putting others first, stuck in people pleasing, or unsure who you really are beneath the exhaustion. Maybe you’ve lost your spark (or never quite found it), or you’re questioning what’s truly you after years of masking, self-doubt, or a late ADHD/ASD diagnosis.
Whatever brought you here, it’s valid. You don’t need to be in crisis to want more - more clarity, more ease, and a life that actually feels like yours.
I’m Zoe. counsellor, psychotherapist, and the human behind Sure Self Counselling & Psychotherapy.
I know what it’s like to sit in the therapy chair feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and unsure of where to start. Therapy gave me the space to understand the patterns that were keeping me small - the masking, people pleasing, and self-doubt - and reconnect with the version of me I’d buried under years of trying to keep it all together.
That lived experience is at the heart of everything we do here.
Sure Self is a space for adults who are ready to stop just surviving and start truly understanding themselves. Whether you’re neurodivergent or not, we work with people navigating self-sabotaging patterns, big life shifts, burnout, low confidence, or complicated family dynamics - especially those who feel like they’ve spent years on the edge of their own life.
Therapy with me isn’t about surface-level tips or just "trying harder.”
It’s about building self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a sense of safety within yourself - creating the foundation for long-term change, so you can stop second-guessing and start living in a way that actually feels like you.
You're in the right place if you're:
> Tired of people pleasing, masking, or constantly doubting yourself.
> Stuck in burnout, procrastination, emotional eating or other self-sabotaging cycles.
> Feeling overwhelmed by big emotions, or like your reactions don’t match your intentions.
> Navigating a late ADHD/ASD diagnosis, complex family dynamics, or feeling lost in who you are.
> Ready to break the cycle, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with your spark.
At Sure Self, we focus on what’s beneath the struggle - helping you unlearn survival strategies that once protected you, but now keep you stuck. This is a space to get curious, feel supported, and start living more fully as your authentic self.

Real change is possible - and it looks different for everyone.
These shifts are based on what so many of our clients experience. But therapy isn’t a checklist or a quick fix. It’s personal. Your journey will unfold in your own time, in your own way. Some changes come gently. Others feel big and bold. All of them matter - because they’re yours.
At Sure Self Counselling & Psychotherapy, we offer a relaxed, no-pressure chat to explore how therapy could support you in feeling more grounded, connected, and unapologetically you. We’re here when you’re ready - no masks needed.
