About Me

Mirella Fox, BSc (Hons) Psychology, Adlerian Diploma in Counselling

Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling stuck—but unsure why.

They’ve often spent years trying to think their way out of self-doubt, anxiety, or relationship patterns, without lasting change.

I am a psychotherapist specialising in self-worth, trauma, and relationship patterns.

My work focuses on helping you understand where these patterns come from—and how to change them.

What I’ve found is that these patterns rarely come out of nowhere.

They’re often shaped by earlier experiences—particularly in how we were spoken to, treated, or made to feel growing up.

That doesn’t mean we stay in the past.
It means we understand how your past is still shaping your present—so we can change it.

My approach integrates trauma-focused therapy (including EMDR) with deeper pattern and belief work.

This allows us to work not just at the level of insight, but at the level where change actually happens—emotionally and neurologically.

So you’re not just understanding yourself differently—you’re experiencing yourself differently.

My approach is called The Roots And Patterns Approach. There is more detail about this below.

My aim is to help you feel more secure in yourself, more confident in your relationships, and less stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

This work goes beyond short-term coping strategies.

It’s focused on understanding and shifting the deeper patterns that have often been in place for years—sometimes decades.

Because of this, it tends to suit people who are looking for meaningful, long-term change rather than quick fixes.
