What we label as harsh self-criticism, addiction, perfectionism, depression, mood disorders, or anxiety can be understood in a different light. These aren't signs of weakness or flaws. Rather: protective patterns. They reflect the mind’s effort to cope, to endure, and to keep going under strain. Trauma is not always a single, defining event. More often, it is shaped slowly through repeated experiences of overwhelm and a lack of control. It can grow in environments where love felt uncertain, criticism was frequent, expectations were high, or where caregivers were struggling themselves. I help people who carry similar patterns.

I'm an Internal Family Systems (Level 2) practitioner. I integrate experiential modalities that go beyond what talking therapies can achieve: Coherence Therapy, AEDP, somatic and expressive approaches, all founded in attachment theory and informed by Polyvagal Theory. These are the most non-shaming, relational and compassionate approaches I know. They work.

If any of this feels familiar to you, you are not alone. Many people feel this way, often quietly or stoically. As these responses were learned, using the most effective tools, they can also be gently unlearned and transformed. Healing is not out of reach. If you want to become calmer, feel more secure, and improve your relationships, call me now.

My clients break free of harsh self-criticism and negative self-talk when they get to know how relational (childhood) trauma contributed to the creation of their inner world. IFS and my other experiential modalities offer transformation, not temporary counteractions. We aim at healing, not just applying plaster to the wound.

I am an IFS L2 Practitioner. It is a system that's more than therapy; it honours our complex human brain and mind. Internal Family Systems therapy offers transformation, not just coping strategies. You'll meet and understand aspects (parts) of you whose role is to protect you from threats or dangers that commonly originate in childhood. No judgment, shaming, or labels for your thoughts or beliefs.
