I am a compassionate and dedicated psychotherapist with years of experience, specializing in trauma, PTSD, attachment issues, self-harm, body image concerns, and depression.
My work is rooted in creating a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their vulnerabilities, rebuild trust in themselves, and engage in healing that is both deep and lasting. By combining the science of the brain with a compassionate, attachment-focused approach, we can transform emotional pain into an opportunity for growth.

I often work with clients who have faced complex life events and trauma, who are looking to make sense of their experiences in a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship.
Whilst I originally trained as an Art Psychotherapist, working creatively doesn’t mean that you need to be “good at art” - it’s a chance for us to create a new, shared language with one another, which might not always rely on words when words are hard to find.

I offer trauma based therapies, EMDR, DBT, CFT, CBT, ACT and attachment informed approach.
Life is full of events, relationships, stresses and strains and all these impact on us in many different ways. It can affect all the important things to us such as school, work, relationships and our own perception of ourselves. This can be tiring and overwhelming. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way and I believe strongly that a person can benefit from having a space to discuss their feelings and develop ideas and strategies to improve their emotional wellbeing.

My background is in working with abuse survivors, and those who have experienced trauma.
I work with the understanding that 'knowledge is power' the more you understand what is happening to you the more compassionate you become. This enables you to stop the self sabotage, self criticism and stop abandoning yourself. You are worthy of your own love that you show to show to everybody else. It’s time to work on meeting your own needs now and heal.

I specialise in trauma-informed work, bereavement, child or baby loss, an infertility.
I began my professional journey in a legal background, but my personal life experiences have truly shaped my understanding of people and the world around us. These experiences have deepened my empathy and helped me appreciate just how much we can carry beneath the surface, often silently. I retrained as a counsellor so I can reach people who need support, and help them so they’re not alone. My role is to walk alongside you as you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, helping you to better understand yourself and your environment, whether that’s in your personal life or at work.

Trauma and PTSD Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
