Anxiety, low mood, trauma, difficulty coping – Life can feel overwhelming at times! Life Story Psychology provides a place to better understand what’s going on for you. It’s a space to explore how our current experiences link to earlier life circumstances, our attachment and relationship experiences, possible traumas, and sense of self and self-worth. By exploring our values, our primary needs, emotional experiences and general coping, we discover our true selves, become more aware of how we function and how to nurture our body and our mind - to heal, to learn, to find contentment.

I enjoy helping people with OCD and rumination to regain a sense of agency over their mind, people with depression to understand what is happening inside themselves that is causing their suffering and free themselves from it, people with PTSD to feel safe again and gain self-compassion and heal their nervous system, people with difficulty in relationships to understand what is happening and operate more smoothly, and helping people with many other difficulties to heal and move forward.
