You look like you’re coping, but inside you feel overwhelmed, irritable and stretched too thin. You may be raising children far from family support, navigating cultural expectations, relationship strain, or the intensity of strong-willed kids. The constant mental load, the guilt of never doing enough, or the tension that builds after long, exhausting days. You want to feel calmer, less guilty, more connected to yourself and your family, and to stop feeling like you’re failing at your relationship or as a mother.

I'm quite passionate about helping people to understand the stories that their minds hold about their sense of safety, security, worth, control and belonging. Trauma stories were created in the past, when the mind tried to make meaning from experiences that felt scary, unsafe or out of our control. The mind holds on to these stories as a way of protecting us from being hurt in the future, and replays them when it predicts future danger or suffering. But that's not the whole story. Using evidence-based, neuroscientific psychological approaches, we can process traumatic memory, distress and disturbance, and heal psychic wounds.
