I offer a safe, confidential space to explore these complex feelings, and the resulting fears, panic, anxiety/stress that prevent you from enjoying your life to its fullest. Together, and at a pace that works for you, we will identify your goals for therapy, using an integrative holistic approach, and work toward a supportive, empowering resolve of your difficulties, in your personal or professional life.

Counselling and Psychotherapy can help with a variety of challenges - addressing difficulties in the present as well as overcoming experiences that belong to the past. A respectful and attuned therapeutic relationship I believe to be the foundation for all therapeutic work. Beside talk therapy we may use art materials to help you express yourself. Often people find that they want more life quality or that important relationships in their lives are impacted by their difficulties and want to find a way forward that feels right for them.

Modern life often leaves us feeling disconnected—from our bodies, our calm, and the world around us. Perhaps you feel "stuck" in your head, constantly overthinking, or physically carrying the weight of stress and anxiety. You don't have to stay there. I provide a space where we can slow down and listen to what your mind and body are trying to tell you, helping you move from a state of "surviving" to one of genuine presence.

When we have experienced trauma or difficulties in our lives, we may feel a low sense of worth, lack of belief in ourselves, or struggle in relationships with others.
My therapeutic training is Integrative Psychotherapy. This means I integrate several approaches to therapy, including exploring life experiences and relationships and how they impact on how we feel about ourselves and others, supporting clients with trauma (from childhood or adulthood), and supporting clients in their search for meaning and well-being.

I’m an EMDR-trained psychotherapist working with trauma, addiction, and the patterns that quietly organise a life.
I work with trauma, addiction, and the patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others. Using EMDR alongside relational and somatic approaches, we follow what the body holds, not just what the mind explains. The work is careful, collaborative, and paced — allowing change to settle, rather than be forced.

Seeking help during a challenging time can be difficult. Be confident that it is your inner strength that has guided you to reach out and seek support. In my experience, I have come to see that no issue is too big or too small; the difficulty comes in trying to overcome it alone. Allow me to provide a safe, confidential, supportive, non-judgemental space for you to talk about and explore the issues which you may be finding challenging or painful.

I specialise in addiction, trauma, emotional regulation, and recovery, with experience supporting clients through anxiety, shame, grief, and low self-worth.
Many of our struggles are not signs of weakness but responses to pain, loss, and unmet emotional needs. I aim to offer a compassionate and non-judgemental space where clients feel safe enough to be understood, reconnect with themselves, and explore healing with curiosity, honesty, and self-acceptance.

Trauma and PTSD Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
