I support many clients in managing trauma, grief, neurodivergence, identity concerns, and the challenges of chronic illness and disability. Therapy may include creative expression, practical coping skills, and supportive trauma-informed counselling, in a neuro-affirming space. Clients often find themselves feeling calmer, more grounded, and better able to understand and manage their emotions.
