I have a wide range of experience including personality disorder, veterans, looked-after children, developmental trauma, and psychosis among others.
What truly sets me apart is that I’ve been on both sides of the therapy couch. I know what it’s like to wake up feeling overwhelmed by the idea of tomorrow. I know the loneliness of feeling invisible even in a crowded room. I know the weight of dark, intrusive thoughts and the exhausting fight to find a way out. I’ve walked the path of intensive therapy for addiction and profound mental health struggles and come through it. This lived experience means that when I sit with you, I’m not just relying on textbooks or clinical training. I meet you with real understanding and absolutely no judgment. I get it, because I’ve lived it!
