What progress looks like (privacy-first)

Four anonymous, composite cases that illustrate outcomes clients often report after therapy. Constructed with awareness and care to protect identities. SWIPE LEFT -->

INSOMNIA

The Nightlight

Childhood fear, sleep restored

A child arrived exhausted, afraid of falling asleep. We mapped the fear, taught a simple breath rhythm, and added a grounding ritual the family could repeat.

Over weeks, the fear softened. Bedtime became predictable, and sleep returned.

No. of Sessions: 3

Outcome: consistent sleep routine, reduced bedtime anxiety.
OCD

The Loop

When intrusive thoughts feel loud

We externalized the OCD cycle and practiced response prevention in bite-sized steps. ERP work was scaffolded with compassion and psychoeducation.

With rehearsal and support, rituals reduced and daily life opened up again.

No. of Sessions: 7

Outcome: fewer compulsions, more time for school and friends.
WORK STRESS

The Promotion

Performance anxiety to steady leadership

A professional under pressure learned micro-regulation skills and CBT reframes. We aligned values to action and practiced crucial conversations.

Confidence stabilized; performance followed. A promotion soon after was their own achievement.

No. of Sessions: 5

Outcome: clearer boundaries, sustainable focus at work.
COUPLES

The Bridge

Rebuilding the ‘we’

We slowed the cycle of the couple, mapped triggers, and rebuilt repair rituals. Each partner practiced one change they could control.

Arguments became shorter, reconnection faster. The relationship felt safer again.

No. of Sessions: 3

Outcome: improved communication and shared routines.
