As a dedicated and empathetic counsellor, my practise is grounded in the belief that everyone possesses the capacity for growth and healing when provided with the right support. Having worked extensively across the lifespan, from working with young babies, children and young mums, to older adults managing late-life transitions. I bring a deep, first-hand understanding of the diverse and complex challenges that life presents at every stage. My clinical approach is integrative and person - centered, tailored to meet the unique needs of every individual using trauma-informed care, which is individually paced.
I use somatic approaches to process past trauma, to process emotions and build resilience, whilst helping navigate life's transitions. I specialise in helping individuals and couples navigate the complex landscape of perinatal mental health, being aware of how the transition to parenthood may include challenges e.g. birth trauma or post natal depression.
By taking the first step you will feel held and supported in therapy as you explore old life patterns which no longer serve you. It takes courage - but you won’t regret it .

I often use body-centred therapy - " getting out of your head and becoming embodied". We look at where you hold stress and help your nervous system finally unlock and relax. I often use Acceptance and commitment therapy to stop fighting your difficult thoughts and feelings. Instead, we drop the struggle, accept them as part of being.
