About me

I have specialised experience in working with survivors and persons experiencing domestic abuse. I am also a qualified Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) and have previously worked as a specialist safeguarding practitioner for the NHS. I have a specialist interest for helping others work through their trauma to a place, and person they desire to be. I also have a passion for helping people find their own path in life, especially working with persons whom struggle with self-esteem, identity and not feeling like they 'belong'. I believe that every person has a right to feel good about themselves and learn how to be self-compassionate.
