People often come to me when they’ve been carrying pain or confusion for far too long. They may be living with childhood trauma, Domestic Abuse, grief, infertility heartbreak, loss, burnout or the impact of someone else’s sexual offending behaviour, and they’re longing for a space that feels safe and steady. With over 30 years of trauma‑informed experience, I offer a calm, compassionate place where you can talk openly and feel understood. I use a flexible blend of therapeutic approaches, meeting you where you are and helping you rebuild emotional safety, make sense of your story and move forward with greater clarity and strength.
I offer weekly / fortnightly sessions or support as needed, using a blend of Person‑Centred, CBT, Gestalt, Attachment‑based therapy and Trauma Stabilisation. My focus is on helping you feel safer, more grounded and more hopeful, working gently at your pace to rebuild strength, confidence and stability. I can guide you or actively listen to meet your needs.
If you’re ready to make a change, I’m here to help you take that step with confidence. You don’t have to keep carrying everything alone. With the right support, you can feel stronger, clearer and more in control of your life. When the moment feels right, reach out and we can begin moving things forward together.
