I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years of experience working across public and private mental health settings with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialise in developmental and relational trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD, dissociation, personality vulnerabilities, relationship difficulties, and struggles with self-worth and identity. I work within a deeply trauma-informed framework that prioritises emotional safety, trust, and connection, creating a space where you can feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a central framework within my practice.
I integrate evidence-based approaches informed by neurobiology and attachment, helping clients understand how past experiences continue to shape emotions, relationships, coping patterns, and sense of self. I believe trauma work should move at a pace that feels safe for you. We only explore memories when they continue to hold you back from healing.
We each carry a unique story — some shaped by more adversity than others. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore how the past lives within you, and to begin rewriting your story with curiosity, compassion, and hope. Like the lotus rising through muddy waters, healing and growth are possible through understanding, emotional regulation and relationships.
