I am a Clinical Psychotherapist, Counsellor and EMDR therapist specialising in child, adolescent and adult development, mental health and trauma across lifespan. I am deeply aware that the story we each bring to therapy is unique. I am passionate about creating a safe and nurturing space that enables my clients, regardless of age, to find their own voice and live an authentic, fulfilling life. I believe that through having a safe space to explore our stories, feelings, thoughts, and embodied communication, we can transform this awareness into energy that supports deeper connection to self and to people and the world around us.
I integrate different modalities such as existential, psychodynamic, humanistic, systemic, and creative therapies to tailor a bespoke therapy to meet each person’s specific needs. I utilise talking therapy along with arts, sandtray and play therapy as they can facilitate communication of emotions that are often unconscious or difficult to express verbally.
If you are worried about your child, feel overwhelmed with life demands, complicated relationships, parenting or wish to heal from your past trauma or help your child to heal, I look forward to helping you. I
