Peta Ridley:
Integrative Therapist (BACP)
I’m a therapist who specialises in supporting women to move beyond the barriers that keep them from living the life they truly want.
I see therapy as a transformative process—an opportunity to explore the links between present-day challenges and past experiences. My area of focus is individuation: the journey of becoming whole and fully yourself.
I believe therapy’s purpose is to guide this integration, helping you reconnect with your authentic self.
This work involves tuning into the body’s innate wisdom, reconnecting with intuition, and rediscovering your deeper sense of purpose and soul desires. Along the way, this may involve untangling the conditioned behaviours and responses that limit you.
Many women are encouraged—by family, culture, or society—to play a small role. While this is often framed as a way to stay safe, it ultimately distances us from our true selves. Individuation is about reclaiming that authenticity and learning to thrive. My role is to support you in that process.
Through integration, you can step into a more authentic way of living—one where you actively participate in your choices and take on your responsibilities.
If you’re looking for a compassionate, understanding therapist to walk alongside you in your journey of self-discovery and healing, I’m here to help. Therapy can feel daunting at first, but together we’ll go at a pace that feels safe for you.
My practice is rooted in equality, connection, and trauma-informed care. I also work with an awareness of the wider systems of power we live within, and I am committed to practising in an anti-oppressive way.
