Drawing on over 15 years of experience as a senior social worker and counsellor in mental health and addiction, I integrate trauma-informed, harm minimisation, nervous system and somatic approaches alongside ACT, Internal Family Systems and Compassionate Inquiry.
I work alongside women navigating neurodivergence, highly sensitive nervous systems, trauma, chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, burnout, anxiety, addiction, experiences of oppression, and significant life transitions including perimenopause and menopause. Many arrive feeling disconnected from themselves, their bodies or their sense of meaning, often carrying symptoms that have not been fully understood through traditional approaches. Together we explore the stories, patterns, relationships and systems that have shaped their experience and support a process of reconnecting with self, body, community and life.

I integrate experiential modalities that go beyond what talking therapies can achieve: Coherence Therapy, AEDP, somatic and expressive approaches, all founded in attachment theory and informed by Polyvagal Theory.
What we label as harsh self-criticism, addiction, perfectionism, depression, mood disorders, or anxiety can be understood in a different light. These aren't signs of weakness or flaws. Rather: protective patterns. They reflect the mind’s effort to cope, to endure, and to keep going under strain.
Trauma is not always a single, defining event. More often, it is shaped slowly through repeated experiences of overwhelm and a lack of control. It can grow in environments where love felt uncertain, criticism was frequent, expectations were high, or where caregivers were struggling themselves.
I help people who carry similar patterns.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
