Thinking about therapy or changing therapist is a huge first step. So well done for even beginning to look into it. I support people experiencing, low mood, poor motivation, withdrawing from others, loss of joy and interest in things, worries and racing thoughts. I also help with intrusive thoughts and memories about challenging experiences from the past. The medical language for these things include: Anxiety, depression, trauma or PTSD but you don't need a formal diagnosis to work towards feeling better.

I am passionate about supporting and helping individuals, families who feel trapped in their trauma symptoms. I am Somatic Experiencing, Accredited EMDR and Havening Practitioner. I support people with Complex PTSD issues. There is a common belief that the trauma is the result of individual's thinking pattern, which is misleading. Any traumatic experiences registered somatically, therefore the trauma work will be somatically oriented, which aims to clear the symptoms from the whole system.

My psychoanalytic practice opens a vital place where an individual's speech, and sometimes their silence, can be generated and heard. Matters that carry such urgency —sadness, despair, anguish, but also joy and pleasure— are understood within this approach as always profoundly individual, demanding to be met in their singularity. Together we work to allow new perspectives to emerge, new lives to be made.
