Many people I work with suffer from various forms of anxiety, including obsessive thoughts, social anxiety, as well as issues with body image, relationships, and life transitions. Generally, those I work with are feeling “stuck” and are at a point where they long for or are desperate for relief. I help people regain a deeper connection with themselves and others and support them in moving forward to experience more peace and contentment in their life. I welcome neuro-diversity, and individuals who feel they navigate life a bit differently than others!

It was a long time ago and it no longer affects me, right? Not necessarily! When we experience systematic childhood trauma we create strong- and unconscious- survival mechanisms that keep signalling danger, even when there is none. This is what we call triggers. These triggers appear in your life in many ways. We also look for familiar situations where the trauma is repeated looking for control of the situation and integration. So the past is much more than the past. Going deep inside yourself in a safe, non judgmental space and explore who you are and who you no longer have to be will bring you life long benefits.

Reclaim the joy of family mealtimes! Next to breathing, feeding is the first and most important thing we have to do in life, connected to almost every other aspect of a child’s life and development, occuring multiple times a day, everyday. No human behaviour has greater biological and social significance. We're available internationally for symptoms of paediatric feeding disorders (PFD), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), baby bottle or feeding tube dependence (tube weaning), food selectivity ('picky'/'fussy' eaters), mealtime behaviour, skills (utensils, cup drinking, chewing), medication refusal, and pica.

Over the years as a therapist I have helped women heal and move forward from the pain they are experiencing from Narcissistic Abuse.
Have you just discovered your partner or family member might be a narcissist? Is it bothering you because no one understands the lies, master manipulation gaslighting or infidelity? If you are suffering the effects of relationship breakdown as a result of narcissistic personality (NPD) abuse, I can help. I individually tailor sessions to address the profound impact of toxic relationships, whether with family members or partner as a result of abuse touching on associated grief and loss as well as associated trauma. Explore your issues in a supportive space that acknowledges the challenges of recovery, fostering resilience and growth.
