I’m Krista. A therapist, but first and always, a human who knows what it’s like to hold things in.

Maybe you’ve spent years holding it together on the outside, showing up, pushing through, while something quieter underneath keeps pulling at you. Maybe you’ve been told you’re “strong,” but no one ever asked what that strength cost you.

I get it, not just from training, but from lived experience. Therapy, for me, was the first place it felt safe enough to stop performing strength and start being real. That’s why this work matters to me. That’s why Beneath the Noise exists.

It’s not about fixing you. It’s about meeting the parts of you that got silenced, pushed down, or lost in the noise, and learning how to listen to them. Not perfectly. Not quickly. But honestly.

FAQs

  • My approach is warm, collaborative, person-centred, and trauma-informed. I don’t sit in silence while you guess what I’m thinking; I’m engaged, thoughtful, and steady. We go at your pace, gently exploring what’s happening underneath the noise and what you’ve been carrying for a long time.

  • Because that’s where the real work happens.

    Beneath the overwhelm.
    Beneath the coping.
    Beneath the pressure to hold everything together.
    Beneath the noise of who you were told you should be: there’s you.

    Not a perfect version.
    Not a fixed version.
    Just something more honest. More grounded. More human.

  • I’m a BACP-accredited psychotherapist with an MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy. Alongside my core training, I’ve completed additional training in trauma, grief, and relational approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.

    My clinical experience spans working with adults and young people across a wide range of settings; private practice, schools, charities, corporate environments, mental health services, and community organisations. This work has included supporting people through trauma, relationship difficulties, ADHD and neurodivergence, grief, anxiety, and long-term emotional patterns.

    I hold an enhanced DBS check and full insurance for private practice.
    My current practice is based in Ancoats, Manchester, offering therapy to individuals and couples both in-person and online across the UK.

If you’ve been holding things in for a long time, you don’t have to keep doing that on your own.
