Turns out, being a person
is genuinely quite hard.
NOBODY'S FAULT. JUST A FACT.
You've been managing this on your own for a while now. Let's change that.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, neurodivergence, or just the slow grind of trying to exist in this world, this is a space where all of you is welcome. Messy bits included.
TRAUMA THERAPY
The past is supposed to stay in the past. EMDR therapy helps your nervous system catch up to the fact that what happened is no longer happening and you're safe now.
SUPERVISION
For the psychologists and therapists who hold everyone else's hard stuff. You need a space too. Come as you are, bring your doubts, your curiosity, your tricky cases. We'll figure it out.
Our areas of focus
-
Trauma is what happens when something overwhelms your capacity to cope and your body and brain do their absolute best to protect you. Long after the danger has passed, your nervous system can stay on high alert, affecting everything from your sleep to your relationships to how you see yourself. That's not weakness. That's biology. And it can change.
-
Anxiety is your brain trying really hard to keep you safe, it's just gotten a little overenthusiastic. When panic shows up uninvited and won't leave, it can feel like you're completely out of control. You're not. Anxiety is one of the most common and most treatable things we see. You don't have to white-knuckle your way through it alone.
-
Existing in a neurotypical world when your brain works differently is genuinely exhausting. The masking, the misunderstandings, the systems that weren't built for you, it adds up. Here, you don't have to perform 'normal.' You just have to show up as you are, and we'll work from there.
-
Grief can show up for all kinds of loss: people, relationships, jobs, identities, the life you thought you were going to have. There's no right way to grieve, and there's no point at which you should 'be over it.'
-
Mental health isn't binary. It's a spectrum, and we all move up and down it depending on what life throws at us. If you're wrestling with perfectionism, low self-worth, a relationship that's breaking your heart, or a life transition that's knocked you sideways, you’re welcome here. You don't need a diagnosis to deserve support.
CHARLOTTE WHITE | PSYCHOLOGIST
Meet the human behind Being Human
Hello! I'm Charlotte White (she/her). I’m a psychologist, supervisor, introvert, and someone who will absolutely ask about your pets. I care about how we build a happiness that lasts, and the work of understanding ourselves and each other along the way.
At Being Human you can show up as the version of you that's tired of holding it together so convincingly. The one that can explain your own patterns with total clarity and still can't stop doing the thing. I'm interested in why smart, self-aware people get stuck anyway, why understanding a pattern isn't the same as changing it, and why the last therapist you saw might have just been the wrong fit rather than proof that you're a lost cause.
I'm a psychology and EMDR nerd, and I'd like to make that make sense to you. I want to help you shift what's been keeping you in the same place: the old stories, the patterns you inherited, the ways you learned to survive that stopped serving you a long time ago.
Come say hello. Bring photos of your pets.
