Do you feel stuck in exhausting cycles of guilt, shame or self-doubt, even while appearing to function well on the outside? Difficult home environments, trauma, or neurodivergence may have shaped how you see yourself, leaving you silently battling intense thoughts and emotions. Perhaps you’ve been through painful experiences that others (or yourself) might not see as trauma yet they’ve had a deep impact. Trauma isn’t always one big event; it can come from ongoing experiences like emotional neglect, criticism, bullying, or growing up around conflict.
My passion is working with complex trauma often accompanied with neurodivergence.
I help clients understand how early experiences can show up in the present as anxiety, low mood, people-pleasing, conflict, compulsive behaviours, difficulties with food/body image and self-harm. We’ll explore your story at a safe pace to build healthier coping strategies. I work integratively, drawing from a range of therapeutic models to suit your needs.
Taking the first step can feel daunting. If you’re unsure whether your experiences “count” as trauma or if it is "serious enough" know if it is causing pain - it matters. Click the email icon to arrange a free 30-minute call if you want to discuss more. I will respond within 24 hours - even if I’m not the right therapist for you I will help you find who is.
