You may feel trapped in cycles of anxiety, burnout or overthinking? Holding everything together but feeling disconnected inside. Maybe you’ve tried talking therapies like CBT, yet the stress or unease still returns. Many clients come to me wanting deeper relief from trauma, relationship patterns or a nervous system that never quite relaxes. My trauma-informed, integrative approach combines EMDR, parts-work (IFS), and mindfulness to help you process what’s beneath the surface, rebuild trust in yourself, and move from survival into calm connection.
I use EMDR alongside IFS, somatic and mindfulness-based approaches to resolve trauma, anxiety and burnout at their root. My LGBTQ+, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches help you release what’s stuck, hidden and soothe your nervous system, and feel more grounded and connected. Online Uk-wide and in Bristol.
If you’ve always been the strong one, therapy can feel like a leap! But you don’t have to do this alone. I offer a calm, compassionate space to explore what’s been too heavy to carry. Together we’ll help your body and mind unhook from old loops and reconnect with safety, confidence, and ease.
