I work with adults of all ages and genders who feel stuck despite years of self-help or therapy. Many appear successful on the outside while privately struggling with the lasting effects of childhood trauma, complex PTSD (CPTSD), anxiety, low self-worth, people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, or relationship difficulties. Together, we explore not just what is happening, but why. By understanding the survival patterns behind these struggles, clients gain clarity, heal emotional wounds, and create lasting change.
I specialise in childhood trauma and complex PTSD using an integrative, trauma-informed approach that combines Rapid Transformational Therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Somatic Hypnotherapy, NLP, coaching, and trauma education. My goal is to help you understand the root causes of your struggles, release limiting patterns, and reconnect with your authentic self.
If you've ever wondered, "Why do I keep repeating the same patterns?" you're not alone. I don't believe people are broken—I believe they adapted to survive. Healing begins with understanding, not judgment. If you're ready to move beyond survival and create lasting change, I'd be honoured to support your journey.
