I work with anyone who struggles with life as a result of Trauma, you may have experienced abuse as a child or adult, or you may have had what appears to be a 'happy' or 'normal' childhood but were not seen, heard or valued. As a result you might struggle with confidence, self esteem, relationships, work or being a parent. You may be depressed, anxious, live with fear or with issues around addiction, eating or self harm. You may have physical issues, our minds and body's are both affected by Trauma and its common to have issues like fibromyalgia or ME, some struggle with ADD traits and feel overwhelmed or dissociated, your not alone

The connection between mind and body means that I work in a way that includes both, trauma can leave us detached from ourself, struggling to know what we feel or overwhelmed and feeling too much. I will work with you to help you understand why you feel what you feel, find compassion for yourself and work towards finding newer and healthier ways to be.

I know how hard it can be to take the first step into Counselling, its normal to feel anxious, wonder what it will be like, will it help, will you like the Counsellor, try the 15min free chat, then try to trust your instincts. I will explain how I work and what you can expect, there's no pressure to book a session, you can take time to decide after the call.

Its important for me to continue to learn and update my skills, I recently completed Gabor Mate's year long CI course where the focus is working with the roots of Trauma and how the past shows up in there here and now. I have now started a Somatic Trauma Course, a more body based approach to Trauma.

A lot of what it is that we struggle with in the here and now can be traced back to our childhoods, sometimes it's what happened to us and sometimes what we didn't have, that impacts our relationships, our confidence and self esteem and lead to struggles with behaviour that really comes from trying to soothe our own pain, I can help you gently explore this to find new ways to heal and let it go.
