You've been through the system - therapists, medications, programs. Maybe you're labelled "treatment resistant" or "complex." Perhaps you're a young person self-harming, or an adult with trauma that CBT hasn't touched. You've tried being the good patient but compliance hasn't brought healing. You need someone who sees your symptoms as survival strategies, not pathology. You want to be understood, not just managed. You seek genuine relationship where all parts of you are welcome - even the parts called "too much." You want to feel whole again and find new ways of being that actually work.
I use Gestalt and IFS approaches that honour your whole story. After my own healing journey through chronic shame, I'm not afraid of complexity. We won't attack your coping strategies - we'll understand them and develop new solutions. I specialise in adolescents who need support, complex PTSD, and those failed by traditional therapy.
I know what it's like to feel fundamentally flawed and still stuck after trying everything. If you're tired of being pathologised, if you need someone who sees your brilliance alongside your struggles, we might work well together. You don't need hope right now - just willingness to try something different. First two sessions 50% off.

I specialise in complex PTSD, chronic shame, and when traditional therapy hasn't helped. Treatment isn't standardised - it's relational therapy tailored to your needs. We work with your defences rather than against them, understanding symptoms as creative adjustments. Expect to feel heard rather than diagnosed, develop self-compassion, integrate split-off parts, and find new ways forward.
