I have 25 years’ experience in public mental health and private practice, including supervising psychologists. Therapy is grounded in a trusting relationship, offering a safe space to explore your unique story. Together, we examine how your early life experiences have shaped your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Using a compassionate, strengths-based, and tailored approach, we set collaborative goals to support your recovery, helping you live a meaningful life connected to what matters most to you. Therapy is not just about addressing difficulties, it is also about rediscovering your strengths, values, and capacity for growth.
I work with people presenting with diverse difficulties impacting on emotions, relationships, and poor self-worth. As an EMDR-trained practitioner, I use evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches guided by neurobiology and attachment. We explore memories only if they’re holding you back from healing, at a pace that feels safe for you.
We each carry a unique story—some shaped by more adversity than others. Together, we can explore how past experiences impact your present, and begin to rewrite your story with curiosity, compassion, and hope. Like the lotus rising through muddy waters, healing is possible. We can’t change the past but we can transform how it lives within us.
