Trauma Informed Therapy In Somerset and Online Across the UK with Eve McIntyre
For Hyper Independent and High Achieving Adults with Trauma, Anxiety & Chronic Stress
You are successful because you have learnt to cope alone.
But what once helped you cope can become exhausting when your mind and body never feel able to switch off.
If you’re exhausted from always being the strong one, therapy can help you understand the patterns behind anxiety, chronic stress and hyper-independence — without taking away the strengths that have helped you succeed.
I would be honoured to be alongside you.
Eve x
On the outside you look like you are coping. Yet on the inside ...
Everyone sees how capable and strong you are.
You are the one who gets things done, keeps going and holds everything together.
And perhaps:
-
Your mind rarely switches off.
-
Rest makes you feel guilty.
-
You find it easier to give support than receive it.
-
You struggle to ask for help.
-
You know you’re capable, but still doubt yourself.
-
You feel like you’re never doing enough.
If this sounds familiar, you are in the right place.
These aren’t character flaws or signs that you’re failing to cope.
They can be protective patterns that develop through trauma, anxiety or long-term stress.
The independence that once helped you cope may now be keeping you stuck in survival mode - making it harder to rest, receive support, trust other people or feel that you are enough without constantly achieving.
Therapy can help you understand these patterns with curiosity rather than criticism, feel safer within yourself and discover that you don’t have to carry everything alone.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"The best investment I have ever made in myself — and one I never realised I needed.
I first approached Eve because I was experiencing feelings of frustration and inequality within my marriage. I wanted to better understand what I was feeling and, more importantly, find a way to resolve it.
Through my sessions with Eve, I gained a level of self-understanding that I had never experienced before. For the first time in my life, I truly understand why I am the way I am. I have also come to appreciate aspects of myself and my life that I had previously overlooked or undervalued.
I genuinely feel like a happier, stronger, and more self-aware version of myself.
Eve has an incredible ability to get to the heart of an issue. Time and time again, she would articulate thoughts and patterns that I had struggled to make sense of for years. Her insights are remarkably accurate, and the way she explains things makes complex emotions and experiences feel understandable and manageable. Many of the things she has said during our sessions will stay with me for life.
The EMDR work was simply transformative. I would recommend it to anyone. The changes I experienced through the process were profound, and I can wholeheartedly say that working with Eve has been the best investment I have ever made in myself.
My time with Eve has given me a deeper understanding of who I am, what truly matters to me, and how to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance, support, and expertise. Thank you, Eve, the impact of our work together will stay with me forever x"

About Eve
I’m a BABCP Accredited CBT Psychotherapist, EMDR Europe Accredited EMDR Practitioner and BABCP Accredited CBT Supervisor.
My own lived experience of being self reliant and the 'strong one' has led me to specialise in this space. I know that self-sufficiency and independence is often a survival strategy, not just a personality trait.
I have spent 14 years in the NHS and private practice learning how to help individuals like you soften these patterns without losing your ambition, your strength, or your integrity.
My Philosophy
I believe that your ability to adapt has helped you survive.
The qualities that have enabled you to achieve, care for others, and keep going have served an important purpose. They are real strengths.
Over time these strengths may contribute to or maintain feelings of overwhelm, exhaustion and isolation or loneliness.
Therapy isn’t about taking those strengths away. It’s about helping you find ways of living that leave you feeling calmer, safer, and more connected. So you no longer feel you have to hold everything together on your own.
