I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, EMDR therapist, and Mindfulness Teacher. I provide individual therapy, EMDR intensives, and group programs, supporting adults to explore the roots of your distress and build lives that feel more connected, spacious, and meaningful. I work with complex trauma, attachment wounding, emotional dysregulation, and the impacts of systemic and relational harm. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in social work values. I draw primarily from Schema Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness, DNMS, and nervous system-informed frameworks.
I will spend time with you doing resourcing and will explore how your early experiences, identity, and social context shape your story. My work is non-pathologising and rooted in a deep respect for the nervous system, attachment, and the impact of social determinants on mental health.
I believe that distress is not a sign of personal failure, but a deeply human response to unmet needs, trauma, and marginalisation. My practice is LGBTQIA+ and neurodiversity-affirming, anti-oppressive, and guided by a lifelong commitment to learning and unlearning.
