I specialise in providing trauma focussed therapy (EMDR & Internal Family Systems (IFS) for adults, children and young people and am passionate about working with people who are neurodiverse & those coming to terms with childhood trauma or the trauma of being neurodiverse in today’s society. I honour each person’s unique way of being & love working with adolescents & children, fostering healing that builds self-trust, connection & authentic self-expression, developing life long skills, so you can reconnect with yourself, process trauma and feel fully alive again. Our space is safe, respectful, and centered on you.
As an experienced clinician, I bring authenticity, clear communication, & believe in each person’s innate wisdom. I value playfulness, deep listening & a relational approach rooted in curiosity, supporting not just individual growth, but also moving through internal and structural barriers, so you can step into your true place in the world—in your own way.
I’m a neuroaffirming trauma specialist, using EMDR, IFS, and art therapy, walking beside you as we navigating trauma, identity, and neurodivergence. As a proud AuDHDer, I honour difference and trust your inner wisdom. With care, creativity, and curiosity, I offer a safe space to explore your experience—at your pace, in your way.
