I work relationally and at your pace, helping you reconnect with yourself and build a life that feels more grounded, free, and aligned with who you are.

Have you ever felt stuck with your family or work roles? Do the people who are meant to love you unconditionally, frequently hold you back? Do you find yourself constantly feeling the need to apologise for things, then wondering what you have done wrong? Maybe you have felt blamed for things in life and want to explore things further. Or you may feel held back by guilt and regret. I can work with you to explore this through a safe and steady process which looks at patterns across your life and within relationships. This will help you to break free from the restraints of negative approval you may have felt for many years.

I am committed to supporting people in healing from relational trauma, developmental trauma, childhood trauma and interpersonal trauma of all kinds. Human beings are amazing, remarkable and resilient in our ability to cope with adversity. We often compartmentalise or dissociate what happens to us so we can carry on living. We also turn to all manner of addictions and behaviours that on the surface may seem disordered and destructive yet at the same time they make perfect sense. They protect us, help us to stay in control, help numb the pain, help us to survive, and help communicate our stories.

Hello and welcome. I am a Transactional Analysis (TA) psychotherapist and clinical psychologist, integrating TA with body psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I work both individually and in groups, specializing in eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorder).
Many people come to therapy after trying numerous behavioral approaches—diet plans, discipline, exercise—with little lasting change. This makes sense, as eating disorders are not issues of willpower but of emotional regulation; the behaviors are symptoms, not the root.

It is truly possible to find or recover a sense of ease within oneself. We all hold this potential, but often past complexities and challenges of life lead us astray. I aim to support you to find this place and connect to a fulfilling, authentic life.
My counselling approach includes evidence-based psychology and holistic connective practices. I take into consideration the relationship between mind, body, thoughts, emotions and a person's core self. I aim to empower clients to move beyond the familiar, inviting different perspectives and insights, a place from which they are then able to unpick difficult, painful ways of being.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
