I believe you know yourself better than anyone, this trust in ourselves can sometimes get lost through the demands and pressures in our environments and relationships around us. This might show up as anxiety, self doubt or low self esteem.
Its my job to help you reconnect with those parts of yourself that possibly feel more distant than you would like them to be.
I believe in empowerment and we can go at whatever pace you chose to work at. It can be a gentle curiosity or we can work dynamically, its your therapy.

Are you tired of wondering if and when things will get better? Working with me offers more than just coping strategies, it is a space for real healing and growth. Are you carrying the weight of past experiences that still affect your present life? You may feel broken, stuck, or like no one truly understands what you’ve been through. Perhaps you experience dissociation, emotional numbness, panic, or sudden shifts in mood that feel out of your control. You may have already tried therapy, self-help, or coping strategies, but still feel as though the impact of trauma lingers beneath the surface.

I am a Psychological Therapist specialising in trauma-informed, nervous system-based therapy, integrating, EMDR, CBT and Polyvagal-Informed approaches to support deep healing and lasting change. I have over 19 years clinical experience in both the public and private sector.
While trauma is a key area of expertise, I work with all common mental health concerns recognising that many symptoms are rooted in early experiences, stress, and trauma.
I take a neurobiological approach to healing, integrating brain, body, and the soul, to help clients make sense of their nervous system responses.

At the core of my therapeutic approach is to provide an empathic, safe and open space, enabling clients to develop awareness and understanding of complex psychological difficulties. I use this basic foundation to help clients (and the systems around them) work through these challenges by applying appropriate, evidenced-based intervention models in a gentle and collaborative way. I believe that while life inevitably entails a degree of trauma, tragedy or other adversity, therapy can help people find resilience and hope, thus supporting them to grow from these experiences and offering a path to a happier and more settled existence.
