Going to therapy takes guts. Often, it takes a person, or a couple, years to move from contemplating therapy to booking a first appointment. It’s not an easy process. But, what you get out of therapy is directly related to what you put into it. And I will match your dedication with mine. The process of healing and recovery is also one of becoming and realising. Therapy is self-development at its most satisfying. Yes, it takes courage, effort, and, often, a leap of faith. But, if you are ready to give yourself the gift of therapy, I am here to take that leap with you.

I am experienced in a range of evidence-based therapy modalities, including long-term trauma-informed psychotherapy and more focused and practical approaches.
I offer individual therapy that is collaborative, relational and down-to-earth. I support those experiencing relational and emotional challenges, and those who may be experiencing a sense of 'stuckness' in life. Grounded by a contemporary psychodynamic perspective, I have an interest in exploring and understanding these difficulties through the lens of early developmental experiences and unconscious patterns of relating and coping - that although once functional or protective, may now be getting in the way.

Psychodynamic and trauma focused practice helps to identify old ways of self-protecting that once felt necessary - but prevent growth and happiness in the present.
People often reach out to do some counselling or therapy with me because something has been feeling stuck or uncomfortable within themself and/or in their relationships. There is often a repetitive theme to difficulties, and it might feel a bit hopeless. I help people to better understand and improve their relationship with themselves and others. Therapy works to connect up new self-understandings, alongside the learning of new skills in areas such as relationships communication, self-soothing/ self-regulation, and better appraisal of automatic thoughts and reactions that can sometimes undermine our sense of well-being.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
