My clients have experienced an event (or several) that led to a critical or traumatic response; or they are finding a life crisis too daunting to surmount. This upturned the metaphoric filing cabinet of the understanding of themselves and the world. The client, with the content now scattered over the floor, needs an empathetic navigator through the chaos to empowered understanding.

My professional credentials and practical knowledge, coupled with lived experience of complex trauma, allows me to support clients while they process, understand and make sense of the content of the filing cabinet.

I understand how terribly difficult it can be to make the first appointment, and then to see that session through. Please make use of the free 15 min call to see if you feel you can connect with me, like my voice and my way of talking, or simply to assess your level of comfort in my presence.

I work with clients who are struggling with the aftereffects of singular or multiple traumatic experiences, life crises, loss and grief, adverse childhood experiences and the problematic adult relationships as a result thereof. Most of my clients find a marked sense of relief after the first session and thereafter progress at their own pace.
