I am a BACP-accredited psychotherapist and trauma-informed practitioner with over 12 years’ experience supporting clients.
As an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) practitioner and Internal Family Systems therapist, I am particularly passionate about body-orientated approaches that recognise the profound connection between mind and body. My work focuses on understanding and addressing the psychophysiological impact of traumatic experiences, using evidence-based, trauma-focused interventions that support healing and recovery.
These approaches can be deeply restorative, helping you to connect with and understand the parts of yourself that have been wounded by past experiences. Through compassionate enquiry, we can work towards releasing feelings of shame, guilt and self-criticism, while fostering greater self-acceptance and a renewed capacity for joy and fulfilment.
I work with clients on an open-ended basis, allowing therapy to progress at a pace and duration that feels right for each individual. Central to my approach is creating a supportive and empowering environment where clients feel safe to explore their experiences, deepen their self-awareness and develop a greater understanding of themselves.
Drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches, I integrate techniques such as mindfulness-based practices, functional breathwork and body-focused trauma awareness to support emotional regulation, resilience and a stronger sense of self.
My aim is to provide a confidential, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and concerns with a qualified professional. I firmly believe that therapy should be tailored to the unique needs of each person, and I encourage open and collaborative dialogue to ensure that our work together reflects your goals and aspirations.
Alongside my professional development, my own personal healing journey has deepened my understanding of the human capacity for growth and transformation. This has strengthened my belief that, regardless of the challenges we face, we all possess innate strengths and resources that can support healing, resilience and meaningful change.
