I am attachment and trauma focused and I believe that counselling should be tailored to each individual.
If you are feeling stuck in your past, old ways of coping, or are replaying painful memories I want you to know that there is hope for your future. I work with many people, who, like you, each have unique stories, and have done their best to push forward and to leave their hurts behind. You may be surrounded by people, and yet feel a longing in your life for deeper connection and relationships. You might even feel disconnected from yourself, your body, and others. Perhaps you have tried to cope with the distress by turning to substances, food, self-harm, shopping, work, or other ways of feeling in control.

We know that life has its ups and downs, and yet sometimes things can feel particularly overwhelming or challenging. It might be a relationship issue, a break-up/divorce, a significant loss or transition. Or perhaps you've been living with anxiety or depression for too long.

Often we put on a brave face and carry on and there's strength in doing so. However, there's also wisdom in knowing when it's time to seek support. Healing, personal growth and healthy relationships are possible.

I work with people who feel emotionally shut down, overwhelmed, or like they’re just going through the motions. These are often signs of disconnection — from the body, from others, or from the version of yourself you want to return to. Many of my clients are navigating complex or relational trauma, shame, grief, or the impact of early experiences like emotional neglect or sexual trauma. They may struggle with feeling too much or not enough, with boundaries, or with the weight of patterns they no longer want to carry. What they want is to feel safer in their body, more present in their relationships, and more like themselves again.
