Healing doesn’t have to be hard - or done alone.
At Embrace Trauma Therapy, I believe therapy is not about fixing you, but about getting to know yourself more fully and discovering new ways of coping. My approach honours your life experiences and the ways your mind and body have adapted to survive.
I work collaboratively, with you at the centre of the process as the expert in your own experience. I aim to walk alongside you as a supportive guide, offering care, knowledge, and strategies for grounding and nervous system regulation along the way.
I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist and the founder of Embrace Trauma Therapy. I work with adults navigating trauma, relational, and interpersonal challenges. I offer personalised, trauma-informed therapy focused on healing from trauma and attachment difficulties, through CBT, mindfulness, EMDR, IFS and parts-work, and somatic psychotherapy.
At Embrace Trauma Therapy, I believe healing begins when we turn toward our pain – not away from it. Through mindful self-awareness, curiosity and compassionate presence, I aim to help you create safety within yourself so every part of you can begin to heal and discover new ways to cope. We work together to understand what you need to move toward your goals.
