Buthiana | Humanistic Psychotherapist

Humanistic Psychotherapy Derby

Are you feeling overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure how to cope with everything you are carrying? 
Stress, trauma, or long-term pressures can leave you feeling tierd, disconnected, or lost. You may notice changes in your mood, difficulty in relationships, or a sense that you are trying to manage everything alone. Teens experience this too, especially when dealing with school stress, family challenges or identify concerns. 

As a compassionate humanistic therapist, I offer a calm and supportive space where you can begin to make sense of what you are carrying. i support adults and teens who are navigating trauma, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, emotional overwhelm, and identity concerns. I also work with single mothers who feel stretched thin by responsibility and constant pressure. My aim is to help you feel grounded, understood, and able to reconnect with yourself at a pace that feels right for you. 

About me 
Hi, I am Buthiana, i support adults and teens who feel unheard, overwhelmed, or unsure how to express what they are going through. Many of the people i work with have experienced trauma, sexual abuse, emotional pressure, or difficult family situation. My aim is to offer a space where you can speak freely and feel safe to be yourself. 

I have experience in services that support survivors of childhood sexual abuse and long term trauma. This work has shown me how heavy life can feel when you have had to cope on your own. It has taught me the value of patience, calmness, and being present when someone is sharing painful memories. 

My training and personal development help me understand how lonely it feels when your emotions are dismissed or minimised. I want you to have space where you feel heard, respected, and supported at your own pace. 

How I can help:
Together, we can work to:

• Heal from trauma and emotional pain: 

Making sense of difficult experiences in a safe, calm space. We can explore how past events affect your emotions, relationships, and daily life, and begin to rebuild a sense of safety within yourself. 

• Support identity and self understanding:

Looking at who you are, what you value, and what you need. This includes exploring identity, cultural pressures, self doubt, and the impact of long term stress or trauma on how you see yourself. 

• Manage stress and emotional overwhelm:

Understanding why certain moments feel untense and finding calmer ways to cope. This can include grounding, emotional awarness, and building confidence in your ability to handle everyday challenges.
 

• Support teens through life changes:

Helping young people navigate school pressure, friendships, family challenges, identity struggles, and emotional overwhelm. I offer a space where teens can speak freely, understand their feelings, and develop healtheir ways of coping. 

My approach
My approach is humaistic and trauma informed. I focus on your lived experiences and how you are feeling, rather than looking for what is "wrong" with you. I offer a calm space where you can express your conerns openly and feel understood. I draw on person centred, Gestalt, and existential ideas. we will work gently and at your pace, with attention to safety and emotional comfort. My aim is to support you with patience, compassion and respect.
