About me

As an experienced therapist I provide a highly empathic, secure and confidential space to work through what ever issues are holding you back or leaving you struggling to make sense of your world or the relationships within it. The therapy is focused on using our developing relationship to achieve the change you seek. I aim to help you regain a sense of meaning and purpose in your life, and with those around you. I am also a qualified EMDR trauma specialist and am able to incorporate this into my work where appropriate. I frequently help clients with challenges related to depression, anxiety, and self-esteem, specialising in trauma of all kinds, from seemingly straightforward experiences to the most complex cases. Often clients express a fear that what they have been through 'is no big deal' and are embarrassed to share their stories - when in fact they have experienced traumatic events that they have minimised as a means of keeping going. Clients may present with a range of symptoms, including anxiety, avoidant behaviour, intrusive thoughts, and panic attacks. I work with various types of trauma, including single-event trauma, attachment-based trauma, sexual abuse, loss, and complex grief. I invite clients to explore and understand their histories, helping them reconnect with their authentic and creative selves. My therapeutic approach is relational and existential. I utilise the counselling relationship itself to help you gain insight into your world and facilitate the changes you wish to achieve. I offer a space where you can feel listened to, understood, and accepted in a non-judgmental environment. I am passionate about the therapeutic process and the empowering experience it can provide.
