I support people across the lifespan who are trying to make sense of themselves, their relationships, and the impact of their past. You may be navigating complex trauma, attachment wounds, family estrangement, relationship or friendship breakdowns, bullying, or major life transitions like divorce. I also work with those recovering from religious trauma or high-control environments, queer clients exploring identity and belonging, and educators under sustained stress.
My work is trauma-informed and grounded in schema, psychodynamic, attachment, and developmental approaches, helping you understand patterns, reconnect with your needs, and move toward more secure, fulfilling ways of relating to yourself and others. I offer depth-oriented, evidence-based approaches that go beyond surface-level coping.
It can be hard to untangle these experiences on your own, especially if you’ve learned to minimise or carry them quietly. You deserve space to be seen, heard and understood. If this resonates, you’re warmly invited to reach out.
