My years of training as a psychotherapist are complemented by my work as a domestic abuse (DA) specialist.
I provide short and long-term therapy to young people and adults in a space that is completely safe and non-judgmental. My practice is LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent-affirming and inclusive of all creeds and colours. Being a person of colour myself, I understand the importance of cultural competence, of having someone understand your unique cultural background, and can ensure that this is what you will be met with at all times.

You might be finding life difficult because of past experiences of being harmed or abused by people close to you; I have significant experience in working with LGBT+ survivors of sexual and domestic abuse and violence and can support you with this.
I provide counselling and coaching to women and people who often find themselves outside of the mainstream - LGBTQ+ people, people who have multiple relationships, practice kink or do sex work. I also offer a space for people who sometimes struggle to connect with their emotions and find they need to think and talk their way into their feelings. No one seeking therapy is broken or in need of fixing. There are always meaningful explanations for the ways you behave or how you feel, but when those aren’t obvious to you, you might find yourself struggling, questioning yourself and wondering if something is wrong with you.

I have experience in working with the impact of trauma and loss, addiction, anxiety, eating disorders, personality disorders and with survivors of sexual abuse.
More often than not, the roots of emotional problems go deeper than normal awareness can reach, and my role is to enable you to identify, and focus on, some of the destructive ways of relating to yourself and others that might leave you feeling depressed, anxious or alone. ​ Together, we will create a safe and creative environment, which will help you to explore the different aspects of yourself – some which harmoniously coexist, and others that are at odds with each other.

Domestic Abuse Counsellors

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?

Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?

Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?

Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?

It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
