About me and my therapy practice
I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adults experiencing burnout, stress, anxiety, depression and emotional disconnection. Sessions are available in-person from my private practice in Southampton and online across the UK.
I鈥檓 Esther Dietrichsen-Farley, a Person-Centred Counsellor & Psychotherapist and Founder of The Farley. I have extensive experience working with deep thinkers, creatives, carers, parents, professionals and founders - people who are often capable and composed on the outside but privately exhausted or disconnected underneath. It can feel as though you鈥檝e been holding things together for too long, with little space to pause or make sense of what鈥檚 been happening underneath.
You might feel emotionally cut off from yourself, from other people, or from what once felt meaningful. Life can look fine on the surface, yet something inside feels flat, fragile or difficult to reach.
You May Notice:
- Emotional disconnection or numbness
- Burnout and long-term overwhelm, including high-functioning burnout
- Anxiety that does not switch off, or a low mood that lingers
- Chronic stress showing as irritability, tension or exhaustion you cannot shake
- Loss of identity, direction or meaning, especially after years of adapting to others
- Repeating patterns in relationships or behaviour that leave you unseen or frustrated
- People-pleasing, perfectionism and hidden overwhelm
- The quiet sense that something is missing, even when life looks 鈥渇ine鈥
What You Can Expect in Sessions
Therapy with me is steady and conversational. You do not need to arrive with answers or polished insight. We work at your pace, paying attention to the pressures and adaptations that have kept you going but left you disconnected. Change tends to emerge from being fully understood rather than from techniques or instructions.
