Trauma & PTSD Psychologist in York —EMDR, CPTSD & Birth Trauma Support — You may have lived through trauma, loss, or a difficult or neglectful childhood, and now find that old patterns of coping no longer work or leave you feeling disconnected and exhausted. As a trauma informed Counselling Psychologist, I bring warmth, clarity, and steadiness to help you reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll make sense of how the past shows up and find ways for you to feel safer, more grounded, and more fully alive — not just surviving, but living with confidence and purpose. Call for a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.
I can help whether your trauma was a single event — like an accident, assault, or birth trauma — or built up over years through difficult relationships. I can help you to process what’s happened, ease distress, and begin to heal. My focus is on helping you find relief from symptoms, make sense of your story, and feel connected.
Reaching out can feel daunting, but it’s a brave first step towards things feeling lighter and more manageable. I'm described as down-to-earth and a safe pair of hands and I offer a free initial chat so you can get a feel for how I work and whether it feels like the right fit.

Being an integrative psychologist means that I can draw on a range of approaches to help with your specific problem. In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and what you hope to get out of it. After finding out more about you we will work together to agree a way forward. I can draw on CBT tools and techniques as well as approaches for trauma such as EMDR therapy.
