Welcome to Explora Counselling Psychotherapy & Coaching
Support for thoughtful, high-achieving and highly sensitive people who feel anxious, overwhelmed or burnt out.
​
You may be someone others rely on, capable, responsible and driven to do your best. Yet inside you might feel anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly questioning yourself.
​
Perhaps your mind rarely switches off. You overthink decisions, feel pressure to meet high standards, or struggle with a critical inner voice that never seems satisfied.
​
Many people arrive here wondering:
Will I always feel this anxious?
Why do I freeze when I need to make decisions?
How can I cope better without burning out?
​
Therapy can help you understand what is happening beneath the surface and support you in finding a calmer, more sustainable way of living and working.

About me
​
My name is Fabiola Toso, I'm an Integrative Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Career Coach. I have nearly 10 years experience working with individuals going through transitions, career changes and significant life events.​​​​
​
I have vast experience working with people from a wide range of backgrounds, including professionals in demanding or caring roles, students under significant pressure, and individuals navigating challenges related to neurodivergence.
​​
My approach to counselling is grounded in creating a calm, thoughtful space where you can explore what is happening for you at your own pace. My work is guided by curiosity, compassion and respect for each person’s unique experience.
​​
People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious or unsure why things feel so difficult despite doing their best to cope. I believe that many of the struggles we experience (anxiety, burnout, self-criticism, or feeling stuck) make sense when we begin to understand the pressures, expectations and experiences that have shaped them.
​​
In our work together, my aim is to offer a space where you can feel heard, understood and supported while we explore the patterns that may be contributing to your current difficulties.
​​
Therapy is a collaborative process. Together we can begin to explore what you need, what has been difficult and what might support you in moving towards a greater sense of wellbeing.
​
Who I Work With
​
I work with people who may be experiencing:
​
• anxiety and chronic overthinking
• burnout and emotional exhaustion
• perfectionism and high self-expectations
• low self-esteem or persistent self-doubt
• decision paralysis or feeling stuck
• pressure within demanding careers
• returning to work after time away
• challenges related to neurodivergence
​
Many of my clients are professionals in caring careers, including nurses, doctors, healthcare workers and therapists. Others are students navigating intense academic pressure, parents balancing work and family life, or thoughtful individuals who have spent years supporting others while quietly struggling themselves.
​
They are often highly capable people who simply need a space where they can be supported too.
How working with me can help you
​
Therapy creates an opportunity to pause, reflect and begin understanding the patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, burnout or self-doubt.
​
Over time, many people begin to experience meaningful shifts in how they feel and respond to life.
​
You may begin to
• feel calmer and less overwhelmed by anxiety
• cope better with pressure and responsibility
• make decisions more easily instead of feeling stuck or frozen
• develop a kinder, quieter relationship with your inner voice
• understand the patterns that lead to burnout
• feel more connected to your needs and values
• build greater self-trust and confidence
​
Through my experience working with a wide range of people, I have seen how powerful it can be when someone finally has the space to explore what they are feeling without judgement.
​
Many clients describe an increased sense of wellbeing, a softer relationship with their inner critic, and a deeper connection with themselves.
​​
Therapy is not about changing who you are, it's about helping you understand yourself more clearly and supporting you to live in a way that feels more balanced and sustainable.
If you would like to arrange an initial session or ask any questions, you are welcome to contact me. I aim to respond within 24-48 hours.
Taking the first step can feel difficult, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful change.
