I work with individuals facing overwhelming situations that result in emotional distress. I specialise in working with the complex issues of chronic health conditions (e.g. endometriosis, PCOS, adenomyosis, cancer), chronic pain, and trauma. I help people overcome isolation, loneliness, grief, loss of identity, self-worth issues, and negative body image. For more information, please visit my website, and if you’d like to chat via phone, kindly book a consultation through the site so I can ensure I have the time and space to give you my full attention. Rural and remote clients welcome through telehealth.
I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy that is tailored to your needs. With personal experience in these areas, I offer a safe space to be heard and supported. Through individualised therapy, somatic practices, and online resources, I will empower you to find hope and balance, heal, and regain control of your life.
I understand how isolating it can feel to navigate chronic illness, pain, or trauma, especially after years of being unheard or invalidated. You deserve support that truly understands your experience. I'm here to offer a compassionate, safe space to explore your needs and help you find balance. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out
