I'm an accredited and registered Clinical Psychotherapist and Clinical and Forensic Social Worker. I specialise in individual counselling, trauma, and working with victims of coercive control, particularly narcissistic abuse that has been compounded by separation or divorce. I work toward providing clients with support, clarity, understanding, and validation while they recover from coercive control and the goal throughout the therapeutic process is to heal trauma, restore confidence, restore identity, and maximise well-being.
Moreover, specialising in Clinical and Forensic Social Work allows me to alternate between the sociolegal and psychosocial environments, a complex area of therapeutic practice that targets coercive control and enables me to design sessions tailored to the client's needs.
Sessions are conducted via Zoom, providing a convenient way for clients to connect. Sessions are available nationally and internationally.
