I have experience supporting people living with trauma, including PTSD, anxiety and depression.
Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to coping on your own or supporting others. You might be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or impacted by past experiences that still feel close. I offer a warm, non-judgmental and informal space where you can feel safe, heard and supported during vulnerable times.

EMDR and Hypnotherapy or counselling for quitting alcohol, emotional eating and recovering from trauma.
I use eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), hypnosis & parts work to help my clients quit unwanted habits and emotions. EMDR is very effective at helping people to process either single incident or complex trauma, but it also works remarkably well to help you overcome cravings or unwanted urges to engage in behaviours that you later regret.

The body holds information and is sometimes disconnected from the mind, especially if there has been trauma in the past.
Sometimes life can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling lost or like an outsider. Sometimes the people around us don’t understand how we feel or don’t know how to support us. Whatever is going on for you right now, there is a way through. I know that within you is an innate wisdom. I enjoy helping people connect to their inner selves and find their own answers through exploration. It takes courage to see someone and discuss your inner life, it is an honour to be part of that journey and I don’t take the privilege lightly.

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.
