I work with women and teenagers (15+) who are navigating the complex landscape of trauma, grief, loss, dissociation, shame. Trauma tends to leave us feeling cut off from our bodies, from our sense of safety, from parts of who we are. Many people come to me carrying fear of their own inner world. Within the depths, what can feel like endings or deaths of old selves, there is space for rebirth: compassion, purpose, and a deeper sense of connection. My role is to serve as a mirror, reflecting your own inner knowing back to you, for you to find safety in trusting it again.

So you're in your late 20s, somewhere in your thirties or hitting your 40s. And you grew up believing that everything was going to be epic. And now? It may feel like life is a little too difficult to navigate. Perhaps something is holding you back. Perhaps you just don’t feel really in control, or fulfilled or even content. You have so many of the things you wanted, perhaps a committed relationship, kids, a great job… and yet, it’s all feeling kinda hard and a serious juggle. Perhaps you are looking at yourself and still feel like there are so many unknowns - who am I really? What do I actually want to do? Could I be happier?

Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, or navigating a significant life transition. Later life, in particular, often brings some of the most meaningful and challenging transitions, including retirement, loss, health changes, and shifts in identity and purpose. I primarily work with older adults moving through these stages, while also supporting adults of all ages who may feel distressed, uncertain, or stuck.

Couples might arrive when something big has happened in the relationship, they sense a troubling distance growing between them or they are fighting non-stop and can't work out how to change.

I’m a trauma-informed drama therapist working with couples, adults, and adolescents navigating relationship conflicts, anxiety, grief, chronic health conditions (including scoliosis and autoimmune conditions), as well as life transitions such as relocating abroad, becoming a parent, or changing careers. Together, we uncover the stories shaping your experiences, trace their roots, and gently reshape them — or create new ones — so you can face challenges with greater strength, insight, and flexibility. My clients recognise that lasting change emerges through reflection, imagination, and embodied integration.

Infertility Counsellors
How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.

How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.

What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.

How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
