Relationships can bring deep connection, but also conflict, distance, or hurt. I work with couples, families, and individuals who feel stuck in repeating patterns, struggling to communicate, or carrying the weight of past experiences. I specialise in trauma, childhood and sexual abuse, anxiety, and relationship difficulties, including queer, polycule, and blended families. You may be looking to rebuild trust, strengthen closeness, or even part ways more peacefully. I offer a warm, inclusive, and non-judgmental space to explore these challenges and move toward healthier, more fulfilling connections.
I specialise in trauma, including childhood and sexual abuse, and offer EMDR to help safely process painful memories. I also support clients around bariatric surgery and GLP-1 treatment, and provide relationship therapy for couples, families, and partners. Whatever your story, I offer a compassionate space for healing, growth, and lasting change.
I believe change is possible, even when life feels heavy or stuck. Together we can gently explore what’s holding you back and discover new ways forward. With experience in trauma, abuse, bariatric support, and relationships, I offer a compassionate space to heal, grow, and create the life you want to live.
