Hi there! I offer a compassionate space for individuals to navigate their own unique pathways of growth. I work with individuals who find they have identified the following difficulties: traumatic histories, shame, self-criticism, personality difficulties, high stress, distress tolerance, and managing or regulating difficult emotions. You may find that you are reliving memories of terrible events of the past. Maybe you are constantly speaking down to yourself and it hinders you from achieving your goals? Or maybe you are finding that your emotions are just too much? If any of these sound like you, get in touch - I'd love to help.
I am a HCPC registered and Chartered Practitioner Psychologist, Clinical Certified Trauma Professional, EMDR Therapist, and Level 1 Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher. I use a variety of models, settling on what an individual requires to support their needs. Primarily, though, I use a trauma-informed, compassion-focused approach in my work.
If you feel we could be a good fit, please do reach out. I offer free 30 minute consultations where we can learn a little more about each other and I can see if I can offer you the support you are looking for.
