Hi there. When was the last time you felt truly heard and understood? You may be feeling low, anxious, or lost. Perhaps you’re carrying the weight of trauma, sexual abuse, adverse childhood experiences, relationships, or other painful events. You may be struggling with intimacy or identity, or feeling like you don’t belong- invisible, misunderstood, or too much. You don’t have to face it alone. I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can be yourself, feel heard and gently explore what’s coming up for you. Together, we’ll draw on your strengths, make sense of things, build self-awareness, and create lasting change.
My approach is person-centred with integrative elements and I welcome anything you bring. I have extensive experience within abuse & trauma services and higher education, supporting young adults, adults and students. I specialise in trauma, sexual &gender-based violence, (C)PTSD, emotional challenges, childhood adversity, relationships, anxiety & depression.
I know therapy can feel overwhelming. I create a space that’s human, honest, and safe. I welcome you just as you are and work in a trauma-focused, culturally sensitive way. With a deep understanding of diverse backgrounds, I offer a therapeutic relationship grounded in sincerity, empathy and connection, sharing the load with you, so you don’t carry it alone.
