My primary focus is working with adults who have experienced trauma or loss.
I teach clients how to integrate their traumatic experiences into their current lives so they can feel a sense of control over their mood and can begin to reconnect with what is important to them. Clients learn how to bring this new self into their current lives, making it possible to have suffered and also to have a rich and fulfilling future.

I know how hard it can be to reach out and take the first step when you need help. A problem can become so large that it takes over most of your life. It can be something from the past that refuses to stay buried or a current situation that you can't move beyond. Whether it's depression, anxiety, bereavement, stress or a relationship breaking down, you can't see a way out and you feel overwhelmed. Sometimes it's different, you've reached a point in your life when you know that something needs to change, or maybe change is being forced on you. You feel trapped or stuck. You want to live life, but don't know how.

Life can throw many challenges at us and affect us in many different ways. These might include being troubled by painful memories from difficult past experiences, struggling in relationships, caught in cycles of worry and anxiety or low mood, or constantly feeling not good enough.

My work in the NHS supports adults from all different cultures and life experiences with challenges, particularly trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship issues.
My work integrates mindfulness, psychodynamic thinking about how early life shapes us, the mind–body connection, trauma theory, and engagement with subtle implicit experiences using the creative process. You don't need any experience in creating art or to consider yourself creative to participate in art therapy. Sometimes people prefer to stay with talking.

If you’re ready to process the impact of trauma, anxiety, self-doubt, or shame.
Betrayal from family can be one of the hardest wounds to heal. If you’re thinking about going no contact, or wanting stronger boundaries with family but don’t know how or where to begin, I understand, and I can help. Sometimes emotional ties to the past make it difficult to move forward in relationships or business. Or you may feel a lingering sense of unease when connecting with others, trusting people is hard when you’ve been let down by those closest to you.

I trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitation Reprogramming) which is a trauma focused therapy and that has now become my main practice.
People can come to therapy for all sorts of reasons: they might be struggling at work or feeling dissatisfied in a relationship or coming to terms with a traumatic childhood. They might need a different approach depending on their goals - so a more structured, goal based intervention might be suitable for someone who wants to be more effective in the workplace. The person affected by a traumatic past might want to develop a stronger abiity to self-soothe - this could be through guided imagery, relaxation, breathing or just through experiencing the therapeutic relationship as safe and accepting.

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.
