Therapy for anxious twenty and thirty somethings in Bushey, surrounding areas & online
Hi, I’m Kaya, and I work with people in their twenties to thirties, what I like to call the in-between years. That stretch of life where you’re not quite where you thought you’d be, and not really sure what’s next. Things feel messy, a bit confusing, and quietly overwhelming. Maybe you’re stuck in a relationship that feels off, noticing old patterns creeping in, or hearing that critical voice in your head that sounds a lot like your parent. Perhaps you’re feeling anxious, low, or just not yourself, maybe even triggered by something as small as being left out of a group chat.
Big changes like becoming a parent or figuring out your path can stir up more than you expected. Therapy with me is steady and honest. No quick fixes or jargon, just real space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface. I pay attention to the little things, because that’s often where the real story lives. You don’t need to have it all figured out, just come as you are.
It’s not always easy to ask for help, especially when you’ve spent so long appearing to cope. If you’re feeling disconnected from yourself, unsure of where you’re heading, or simply need a space to breathe, you’re not alone. I offer a warm, compassionate space to make sense of things, at your own pace.
If any of this sounds familiar, have a look around, get a feel for how I work, and when you’re ready, book a free call. I’d love to hear from you

If any of these thoughts sound familiar ? you’re far from alone.
Your 20s and 30s are a time of transitions, uncertainty, and unexpected detours. Relationships, evolving family dynamics, and the endless scroll of “perfect” lives often leave you questioning your pace.
I don’t focus on diagnoses; I create a supportive space to validate your unique experience and feelings.
Therapy helps uncover what’s beneath the overwhelm and gently guides you back to yourself.
Begin your journey today. Let’s navigate modern challenges together.
Here are some of the things I hear most often from clients like you:
I feel like I have nothing to be proud of
No matter what I do, I never feel good enough
My family’s expectations still weigh heavily on me
Everyone else seemed to succeed, I just felt like a failure
I’ve never really had the time or space to figure out what I want
It’s like I’m just going through the motions, I don’t feel present
I don’t have peace. My mind is constantly busy
Academic success was everything, but now I feel lost
My mood swings in a day, up, down, flat. I never know how I’ll feel
I’ve always felt different and a bit ashamed of it
I had to figure out my sexuality alone. I’ve never felt truly connected.
Everything feels like too much. I’m overwhelmed just trying to keep up
If any of these thoughts sound familiar ? you’re far from alone.
What causes this ‘quarter life crisis’ in the ‘in-between years’
From career choices, finances, relationships, family expectations and social-media comparisons, anxiety and depression can take hold. .
Common stressors that can lead to crisis include :

Living alone for the first time

Navigating relationships

Job searching or career planning

Transitions -marriage and children
The goal of therapy is to help you live more fully and freely. To do that, I take the time to really understand your history and who you are, because those earlier experiences often shape how things are showing up for you now. It’s about exploring and giving voice to your unique thoughts and feelings so you feel seen and heard. Together, we’ll gently notice patterns, explore what’s working and what’s not, and look at how things could be different. I’ll support you to make meaningful changes that feel true to you without judgement, just a space where your thoughts, feelings and experiences are heard. And you’ll always be in control; this is your life, your choices. We work side by side, building a path that reflects your needs and your hopes for the future.

How we can work together
1:1 Therapy
If you feel like you’re stuck, your mind never slows down, or you’re wondering who you even are anymore, then weekly 1:1 therapy could be exactly what you need.
Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming emotions, navigating family dynamics, or quietly wondering if everyone else has life more figured out than you, this space is for you. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just need a place to start. You get to tell your story, feel truly heard, and begin to notice the beliefs and patterns that might be holding you back. It’s about giving voice to your thoughts and feelings, understanding where they come from, and gently working out what needs to change so you can live more fully and freely. It’s time to reclaim your calm, your clarity and start living a life that feels like yours.
