I offer a calm, trauma-informed space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath all the coping.
Together we focus on:
• How anxiety shows up in your body and how to soothe it
• What boundaries look like when you’ve been taught to keep others happy
• Rebuilding self-esteem in the aftermath of control or emotional abuse
• Moving from self-doubt to self-trust, gently and at your pace
• Calming patterns like hypervigilance, shutdown or people-pleasing

She works with individuals and couples and treats issues ranging from, anxiety, depression, and bereavement, to more complex issues such as PTSD, panic attacks, and phobias.
Mary’s secret recipe for success is her combination of traditional evidence-based therapies such as CBT with psychosensory approaches such as havening, EMDR, see-far CBT, and EFT. The added psychosensory dimension to therapy can access some deep issues which otherwise can be very difficult to treat such as PTSD, OCD and panic disorders.

As an integrative, systemic psychologist, I can pick-up where many other therapies end, offering a variety of trauma-sensitive interventions to unlock & processes entrenched conflict & distress within individuals, couples, families and broader systems.
With 25yrs experience, I now seek to work with three main client groups.
1) Clients who've reached a deeper understanding of their issues, symptoms & diagnoses (via therapy &/or self-help etc), but have found that these insights have not been sufficient to end their distress.
2) Parents/carers/educators struggling with youngsters who can be violent or self-destructive, for whom traditional reward & punishment approaches fail to help (or indeed actually escalate the problem).
3) Parent-child reluctance/refusal dynamics. I can help parents who are experiencing, ‘parental alienation’, and equally, those being falsely accused of it.

I use the 3 stage model with trauma.
Admitting you might need the help of a counsellor can be incredibly hard and taking that first step requires lots of courage - I am pleased you are here. I work with adults and young people (18 and over) on issues relating to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, racial identity. I spent over 20 years in the video games industry at a senior level so I understand the pressures of working in a high pressure environment with long working hours and potentially toxic working practices.

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.
