I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist who works from a wholistic, trauma-informed, social justice framework. I believe that each client is unique and individual and I use a client-centred approach. It is important that you feel empowered and in control of the sessions which means that we will work together to find out what works for you and your needs. Areas I am particularly interested in are self-esteem and self-growth, trauma healing, managing anxiety and gender and sexuality exploration.

We have all been affected by the state of the world in recent years. In combination with the challenges of every day life many of us have moved out of our window of tolerance leaving our nervous systems feeling taxed. Relieving stress can be a process of disengaging from negative patterns and feedback loops while re-engaging with crucial resources. That being said, stress has a physical quality to it and learning to release it from our bodies by leading a more present, mindful and embodied life day by day is an important and often overlooked part of the process.
