I support individuals navigating the complex aftermath of narcissistic relationships, cultural identity challenges, adolescence, anxiety and blended family dynamics, utilising IFS and Brainspotting in person in London and online across the UK and globally. You’re trying to make sense of who you are and how to be that person without guilt or overwhelm. School or work pressure, family dynamics, or unspoken shame all play a part. If you’re looking for understanding, confidence, and emotional space to breathe and explore, we can work through this together. I have 3 spots opening up in March
Using IFS and Brainspotting, we work through anxiety, overwhelm, trauma responses, and identity confusion. You don’t need to be in crisis to start. I offer a grounded, non-judgemental space to understand your parts, calm your system, and build trust in yourself. If this feels familiar, let’s talk.
Together we explore the parts of you that learned to carry burdens such as pressure, responsibility, or even shame. IFS and Brainspotting help release what’s stuck and reconnect you with what matters. You don’t need to navigate this alone. If you’re ready for change, confidence, and a stronger sense of self, I’m here when you’re ready.

I integrate Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting to help you understand the parts of yourself that adapted to survive difficult situations. When talking isn't enough, Brainspotting accesses what your body holds. This isn't about fixing you or following protocols; it's about finding your way back to yourself. You set the pace; I provide the framework and space to be real.
