Florence Thum | Psychotherapist and Counsellow

For the seasons when you can’t keep pushing…

 

Does your life look fine on the outside, but inside, something feels misaligned? Maybe you’re stuck in roles that no longer fit, carrying emotional weight no one sees, or craving a softer, more meaningful connection to yourself.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, identity shifts, or simply sensing it’s time for something to change, you’re not alone —

Hi, I'm Florence

A psychotherapist, trauma practitioner, educator, and lifelong lover of words.

My work is for those who are ready to stop performing and start feeling. For people carrying invisible weight, navigating identity shifts, or simply sensing that something inside needs attention. Whether in the therapy room or through quiet literary reflection, I offer spaces of insight, self-trust, and honest becoming.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based methods, shaped by lived experience, and held with cultural care. You don’t need to have all the answers, just a willingness to begin.

Why work with me?

  • Values-led support rooted in depth, presence, and reflection
  • A relational, person-centred space where you’re seen, not pathologised
  • Cultural intelligence and lived experience across identity, migration, and transition
  • Sustainable, non-performative support that fosters long-term inner clarity
  • A trauma-informed, inclusive approach, always at your pace

Testimonials

"With coaching, I am more myself - I trust myself, my brain and my approach way more - and fully in my power."
- O
"Sessions are insightful - very professional and intellectual and soulful. I always walked away in awe of how you were able to hold space / ask questions / provoke thought / pick the right thread to untangle."
- G
"Through our conversations, I unlocked more and more aspects of myself and fell in love with my life, fully.”
- S
“The process of reflective discussions with you have imbued me with a stronger sense of agency…and purpose. Thank you for hearing my story, witnessing my pain, joys and growth, and for your ever-present kindness… [our] conversations have helped create much needed space from the noise and helped re-establish a truer sense of self.”
- S
“To be able to discuss what felt at the time to be utterly shameful subjects and be heard with kindness gave so much solace, and gave me a sense that maybe I was alright after all, rather than inadequate or wrong in some way… It was wonderful developing a stronger sense of my own self."
- V
