Often clients contact me when other therapy has not helped them in the way they had hoped. This is often due to the complexity of difficulties being layered perhaps in a history of trauma. Distress in the body and mind can be triggered by what appears to be something superficial. This can open up the past or come at a time when our emotional resilience is low so this event has a greater impact than it may have done. We can find ourselves not being able to function in our normal way. Many clients often identify as 'good copers' and those who 'just get on with it'. Perhaps we can't now - this is frightening and can derail us.

I have a wide range of experience including personality disorder, veterans, looked-after children, developmental trauma, and psychosis among others.
What truly sets me apart is that I’ve been on both sides of the therapy couch. I know what it’s like to wake up feeling overwhelmed by the idea of tomorrow. I know the loneliness of feeling invisible even in a crowded room. I know the weight of dark, intrusive thoughts and the exhausting fight to find a way out. I’ve walked the path of intensive therapy for addiction and profound mental health struggles and come through it. This lived experience means that when I sit with you, I’m not just relying on textbooks or clinical training. I meet you with real understanding and absolutely no judgment. I get it, because I’ve lived it!
