I have experience across care and protection, youth justice, and private practice settings, with a focus on the impacts of interpersonal trauma, including sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and neglect. I can provide support in areas such as: Depression and other Mood issues, Anxiety and related disorders, Adjustment and Life transitions, Trauma, Stress-related disorders, PTSD, and Complex Trauma, Autism and ADHD support with a neurodiversity-affirming approach, Parenting challenges Relationship and Interpersonal issues, and Emotional regulation difficulties
I take a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach to therapy, believing that what we often call "symptoms" can actually be seen as protective mechanisms our minds and bodies develop to cope with life’s challenges. That’s why I like to begin therapy by helping you understand how your emotional experiences make sense.
Together, we can work toward meaningful and positive change, rooted in self-understanding, self-compassion, and empowerment. The decision to engage in therapy is a brave and commendable one, and for those who allow me to join them in that journey, I endeavour to make it a safe, fun, and nurturing process of reflection and exploration.
