I work through a trauma-informed lens to address symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression/low mood, relationship/family issues, LGBT+ adversity, sexual harm, and chronic illnesses. Together, we can find the best way forward for you.
I have experience with people of all ages, genders, sexualities and those with neurodiversities, and I pride myself on being gentle and understanding in my approach.
I have an interest in Person-centered therapy, emotional regulation techniques, Somatic therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and Creative and Expressive Therapy, and I practice alongside a trauma-informed approach to build a sense of safety, trust, and connection.
Having faced ME/CFS and chronic illness myself, I know how important it is to offer accessible therapy where we work together to build a supportive environment to reach our goals and live fulfilling lives alongside our challenges. Please do reach out if you have any limitations. I can offer flexible session times and shorter sessions suit your needs. FOA.
