I have a passion for working with clients to resolve trauma. Making sense of traumatic experiences, their effect on our mental health and relationships, and processing these safely, allows for us to be our most authentic and integrated self. I also work with individuals, parents and carers supporting their children or loved ones with acute mental health and traumatic experiences.

I offer EMDR therapy (including via telehealth), supported by emotion-focussed, attachment, person-centred, strengths based and ego state therapeutic interventions. I also offer individual talk therapy and parent and carer coaching using an emotionally focussed family therapy lens to increase opportunities for connection.

With experience supporting child and adult trauma survivors, client's managing mental health distress, as well as parents, children and families surviving violence, I take time to fully understand each person's support needs, goals, pace and preferences for working together. Above all, I create safety in therapeutic relationships to support healing.

I work with clients to address mental health and relationship difficulties often arising from traumatic experience. During our initial appointment we will work to understand these experiences and current triggers in a way which is empowering and safe. We will then begin processing these experiences to reduce distress and gain insight, most clients notice gradual improvement within the first month.

I prefer to use EMDR therapy because of its effectiveness in resolving traumatic experiences and addressing the impact these have on our mental health and relationships. I also use attachment, person-centred, family systems, strengths based and ego state interventions to support EMDR therapy, to promote stabilisation and safety. I use this via telehealth with clients effectively and safely.
