Are you struggling getting through each day, feeling depressed or anxious? Maybe there are some things that you are finding hard to forget or make sense of on your own? With a background in mental health and working extensively with survivors of abuse and trauma, there are lots of things I have worked with previously, so can tailor your session to what you feel you need most support with. Some client bases and topics I have worked with include: Survivors of Domestic Abuse Childhood Trauma People living with a range of complex mental health needs ADHD and Autism & late diagnosis  Depression Anxiety Bereavement Body Dysmorphia 
I'm Kirsten, a Person-Centred, Trauma Informed & Neuroaffirming Therapist. I combine talking therapy alongside resources,tools and techniques that can help you to find greater understanding of the process behind your emotional responses. All within a warm, non-judgemental and confidential space, paving the way together for your self-compassion and healing.
I know how tough it can be to take the first step in finding support. I hope to help make it feel less daunting and will help you every step of the way to make sense and peace with the things that are impacting you day-day. Please feel free to reach out if you wish.
