I work with adults who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or affected by past or current abusive relationships. I understand how painful life experiences can affect confidence, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. Many of my clients come to therapy struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, or the lasting impact of domestic abuse. They often want support to rebuild confidence, understand unhealthy patterns, improve relationships, and feel more in control of their lives. I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space to help clients heal and move forward.

We all struggle to make sense of experiences at times, especially when our life is in transition or we have unwanted changes. Perhaps you are going through the menopause, have a new job, responsibilities or are retiring, bereaved or divorced? Change can shake our sense of who we are. Therapy with me will provide the space to think about what is important to you, what do you value and what is stopping you living the life you want? Uncertainty often brings stress and anxiety. I know how this impacts the body and mind. I can talk through calming strategies. I want you to discover your vitality and life force again .

Are anxiety and overwhelm your norm? If so, your survival system may be stuck in overdrive, leaving you in a constant state of stress. This is often a trauma response. I help clients like you heal by exploring how past experiences impact your present, while providing tools to regulate your nervous system and break free from old patterns. Together, we’ll work at your pace to bring lasting change, empowering you to regain control and move forward with confidence.

I work in a person-centred manner which means that I value building a positive relationship with clients; working to create a safe and comfortable therapeutic environment. This means that I want you to feel able to talk and express yourself about anything that may be troubling you. We talk about whatever you chose, and you can do so without fear of judgement. This enables you to become more comfortable with things as you discuss your thoughts freely, giving you an opportunity to consider things from different perspectives and over time building your confidence to explore different options and possibilities that are open to you.

If constant freeze, dissociation, or the weight of past trauma makes your body feel unsafe or your life feel disconnected, you're not broken — your nervous system has been protecting you. Healing begins with gentle, body-centred steps toward safety and meaning. As a somatic trauma specialist and psychologist (PhD), I guide survivors of complex trauma through embodied recovery using somatic practices (nervous system regulation, titration, pendulation), polyvagal-informed tools, and integrative depth approaches. Blending these tools, we thaw frozen states, release survival energy, and foster post-traumatic growth — at your pace.

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.

My psychotherapy philosophy is that everyone has the resources within themselves to find meaning, purpose and fulfilment in their lives. Sometimes we need some help in accessing these internal resources. If you find yourself feeling stuck, depressed or anxious possibly from external life events, problematic relationship issues, or other internal psychological struggles which may be more difficult to understand, you may find it helpful to speak to a counsellor. Talking about issues of concern in a confidential environment can lead to greater understanding, more self awareness and clarity about best ways forward.

My clients are often thoughtful people who have spent years coping rather than understanding. They may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, ADHD, autism, or feeling stuck in patterns they cannot fully explain. Many arrive feeling overwhelmed, self critical, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we make sense of the experiences, relationships, and coping strategies that have shaped their lives, helping them develop greater clarity, self compassion, and confidence to move forward in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

Personality Disorders Counsellors
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.

When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.

How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specialises in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.

Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
