Hi, thanks for checking out my profile. I support people to process previous trauma, create healthier relationships, change long standing life patterns and work towards a more meaningful complete life. Trying to figure out neurodiversity, want to take better care of yourself, or navigate new ways to feel more connected with yourself or life in general?
I am an EMDR Accredited Practitioner and Consultant. EMDR is a form of therapy for processing trauma and creating positive core beliefs about the self. I support clients to identify self-defeating patterns and create more adaptive coping strategies. Helping anxiety, depression and dysregulation.
I find purpose and meaning supporting others through a gentle, compassionate non-judgmental practice. The journey of life can be lonely and challenging at times. Making meaning and connections can make all the difference. Neurodiverse affirming EMDR offered.

I work with clients who experience symptoms of trauma such as anxiety, challenges setting boundaries, nightmares or flashbacks. Together we create a plan to reduce the current symptoms and using EMDR integrate previous experiences. Many clients have expressed I didn't even realise I was carrying that around until I was able to put it down.
