I hold certification for Somatic trauma-informed therapy, as well as my diploma in therapeutic counselling.
An ideal client would be someone with an understanding of how counselling can be used effectively, that said - many discussions with my clients have given me new insights about this and often through these discussions, the client and I can arrive on the same page. Whilst I have a background in trauma training, I do not expect all clients to come with trauma as their reasons for seeking counselling. I am here for you, whatever it is you wish to discuss. My work with clients is open ended, as such - needs and goals can change over time, reviewing our work periodically will help address any change in your desired outcome(s).

Many of my clients are intelligent, capable people who have spent years blaming themselves for struggling. I specialise in supporting ADHD and autistic adults, including those who are late-diagnosed or exploring.

I use a proven blend of IFS (internal family systems), somatic processing and the Rewind Technique to restore harmony and balance.
Are you tired of living in fight or flight? Are you haunted by flashbacks or struggling every day with anxiety or intrusive thoughts?
Trauma and PTSD are frightening and can leave you feeling like a stranger in your own life. When something overwhelms your system your brain and body adapt in an attempt to protect you, but over time staying in a state of high-alert becomes damaging and exhausting.
You might find yourself caught between intense emotional distress and complete physical shut-down, making day to day life feel almost impossible as it begins to affect everything (and everyone) you care about.

On the outside it looks like everything's fine. You appear confident in work, people seek your advice, you've been considered a high achiever for most of your life. But on the inside, you feel exhausted and disconnected. It's hard for you to switch off, you constantly feel guilty for resting, you hate asking for help. You're irritable, losing sleep and although you're functioning everyday, you're surviving more than you are thriving. It feels like no matter what you do, it's never good enough. Your inner critic says to just get on with it, other people have it worse. You're ready for change, you just don't know where to start.

I use psychoanalytic framework in my work, as well as use somatic tools to work with my clients.
I support my clients in their search for meaning, and often see how unravelling the knots in relationships, tending grief, and exploring suffering can lead to a sense of purpose. I often witness how therapeutic change can be initiated through nurturing connections with embodied parts of lived experiences. An important piece in the process is attuning to the messages from within, and I support the process of listening.
My work is trauma informed, and seeking understanding of how the body holds, or ‘keeps the score’ (B. Van Der Kolk), is something we can look at together.

Many of my clients are the ones others turn to - driven, reliable, capable, and holding themselves to high standards. But beneath that, they feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and unsure whether they will ever feel 'enough'. Maybe you tie your worth to being useful, or you're wondering if your difficulties are linked to childhood patterns or undiagnosed ADHD. You might face impostor syndrome at work or feel stuck in relationship patterns where you give more than you get. You may have grown up fast, learned to over-function, and struggle with boundaries. You want to feel seen, grounded, validated, and live from self-worth, not self-doubt.

Since, a holistic healing requires an integration of the mind and body, I pay specific attention to the somatic process along with the psychological work.
People turn to therapy in order to address the pain rooted in the past traumas. They opt for therapy when they feel unseen and unsupported. Once their instinctive needs to be seen and heard are fulfilled, people are able to revert to the Self. They are able to identify the negative self-perceptions and coping mechanisms that were adopted to be able to survive in a non supportive environment. Through therapy, people seek to empower themselves and take charge of their lives independently. I have frequently witnessed my clients experience deep healing with a holistic psychosomatic approach that is rooted in compassion.

Two years of training in somatic trauma with Babette Rothschild, one of the world's leading specialists in the trauma field,
People often come to me when something in their intimate, sexual or relational life feels confusing, stuck or quietly painful; recurring conflict, low/no desire, infidelity, shame or behaviour that is out of control, including compulsive sexual behaviour or pornography use. It might follow a birth, an illness or injury, a loss, or years of functioning well outwardly while privately struggling with intimacy, relationships, culture, or identity. This work goes beyond traditional talking therapy; direct, practical and emotionally attuned, helping us name what's happening rather than going in circles, so real change actually happen

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
