I began to work as a Trauma Therapist treating labour, birth and life events alongside PTSD responses to birth in men and women, as a midwife and trauma therapist. In private practice, working with life concerns such as depression, abuse, PTSD, dissociative conditions, and relationship stresses in any of life's circumstances. I work with all general life issues. Young teens, Couple therapy, Relationship stresses GBH, sexual or other abuse, rape, and lifelong bullying are frequent concerns in therapy. I work with clients online and in person, using EMDR, Rewind, and Trauma-focused CBT, tailoring therapy with a plan to engage.
By developing a particular way of working with general anxiety or trauma symptoms, clients are empowered. I provide you with various tools/techniques to work with from the start of our connection and work with you immediately to reduce presenting symptoms. This counselling approach builds confidence in your ability to contribute to this therapeutic process.
The way that I work has been audited independently, and I am happy to share those findings with you. History can surface in times of stress. Trauma, anxiety, and depression symptoms can be very uncomfortable. Don't hesitate to get in touch to arrange an initial appointment. I know it sometimes takes a little courage to engage another person in your story.
