If you’re struggling with the impact of sexual or domestic violence, you may feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Trauma can manifest in many ways—difficulty trusting others, emotional numbness, feeling constantly on edge, or struggling with self-worth. These are not signs of weakness; they are your mind and body’s way of trying to protect you. Healing from trauma isn’t just about talking—it’s about reconnecting with yourself. I integrate somatic approaches that focus on the connection between your body and mind, helping you release stored trauma and develop a sense of safety within yourself.

Ok! Is it time to do something about how you have been feeling? It could be that you have been struggling with your negative thoughts, work stress, health challenges, difficulties in your relationships, increased anxiety, low mood, or all of the above and then some. That is the first step, recognising that you can do something different right now to change the way you feel. You may or may not have sought support in the past but that was then, and this is now. It is never too late to put yourself first and prioritise what you need.

Is your teen constantly frustrated, angry, or overwhelmed,often struggling to explain why? Do big emotions take over, making relationships harder and school feel like a battlefield? You're not alone—and neither are they. I help young people who feel stuck, misunderstood, or on edge. Whether it’s anger outbursts, friendship drama, anxiety around school or social media, or just that heavy, "everything's too much" feeling, I create a calm, creative space where teens can safely explore what's really going on underneath it all. If detentions, meltdowns, or shut-downs are the norm, let's change that story.

Hi there, my name's Odin. The idea of counselling can be pretty unsettling.

That's already a really big and brave step. If you decide you might like to work with me, then we can safely and confidentially, with respect, compassion, empathy and gentle honesty, have a look at whatever's concerning you. Whatever it is, however hard it feels, I'm here if you want to look at it together.
