My approach integrates somatic therapy, IFS, EFT tapping, ACT, and mindfulness practices including breathwork and meditation, working with both the mind and the body, where emotional patterns are often stored.
Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or the impact of past experiences? Many people carry emotional pain in their bodies without realising how deeply it affects their daily lives. As a trauma-informed therapist, I help individuals reconnect with their nervous system, process difficult experiences, and develop tools to feel more grounded and resilient.Low self-esteem Personal growth and self-discovery

I use IFS and ACT modalities in sessions with clients.
Sometimes things feel like they are too hard. Sometimes we may feel like we are 'stuck' because of a challenging situation or from a past pattern of behaviour that doesn't seem to let us go. Sometimes our thoughts seem to go around and around and take control of our actions. Sometimes, we just don't know which direction we need to head in, or want to head in, and why. These transitions in life need some time to process. And sometimes it feels like nobody understands us and we just need someone to talk to and to find a bit of grounding and presence.

You may look like you’re coping, but inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or not good enough. You might turn to food for comfort, control, or relief, then feel shame, guilt, or self-criticism afterwards. Many of the women I work with carry the impact of early trauma, emotional neglect, or difficult mother–daughter relationships that continue to shape how they feel about themselves. Some feel stuck in patterns they don’t understand, while others are quietly asking, “who am I, really?” and longing for a deeper, more meaningful connection with themselves, their body, and their inner world.

I integrate Internal Family Systems ( IFS) to help you understand the protective strategies that became necessary to help you cope.
When you've spent so long trying to keep the peace or make sense of someone else's behaviour, it's easy to lose sight of yourself. You may be navigating a relationship shaped by narcissistic traits, recovering from domestic/family violence, or managing family conflict that has left you questioning your reality. Our work together isn't about labelling or diagnosing the people in your life. Rather, making sense of what you've lived through and how it has shaped the way you see yourself and your relationships. Together, we'll gently untangle patterns like self-doubt, people pleasing, and hypervigilance with curiosity and compassion.

Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, somatic work.
It's the same argument. You know how it ends before it starts: one of you goes quiet, the other keeps going, and by the end you're arguing about the tone rather than the thing you started with. Somewhere in there, someone apologises just to make it stop. Or you're the one who's exhausted and can't quite explain why, because on paper you're managing. You know which shoes still fit and when the excursion form is due. You asked for help and got "just tell me what to do," which meant you were still the one deciding.
