As a psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience, I focus on helping individuals and couples navigate the challenging terrain of relational trauma, abuse recovery, and relationship transformation. My approach integrates deep psychological work with practical strategies for healing and growth, drawing upon psychoanalytic understanding, EMDR trauma processing, dream analysis, and body-based awareness.
Relational trauma can emerge from various experiences, including narcissistic abuse, family estrangement, workplace psychological abuse, and toxic relationship patterns. These experiences often leave deep emotional wounds.
Recovery from relational trauma involves immediate stabilisation and deeper healing work. In our sessions, we address safety concerns while exploring the deeper impact of traumatic experiences. Through dream work, we access the wisdom of your unconscious mind. EMDR therapy helps process traumatic memories, while psychoanalytic work builds understanding.
Beginning therapy takes courage, especially after experiences of relational trauma or during relationship challenges. I provide a safe, confidential environment where you can explore your experiences and begin your healing journey. Whether it is individual support or couple therapy you require, I'm here to support your path to healing and growth.
