I am a trauma therapist and work with you to understand the impacts of the trauma and towards resolution of these impacts. I have a special interest in working with adults on their attachment wounding or ruptures in relationships. This might have happened during a persons childhood, however the patterns play out in intimate relationships, friendships, with work colleagues and our kids. My clients often find that their attachment patterns continue to resurface in their current relationships. They recognise that healing is not just about talk therapy, but involves deeper work and a somatic approach.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist who has worked for 10+ years across various settings. I have a warm, engaging and down-to-earth approach and prioritise a safe and inclusive space. I value the therapeutic relationship to provide a trusted and reflective space for individuals to adjust to life challenges, to become comfortable with who they are and to support the development of a rich and meaningful life. This involves not just ‘talk therapy’, but treating the whole person including the mind-body connection and exploring how wider context impacts them.

I know how daunting it can be to ask for help when you are struggling, but therapy can also be a highly rewarding and empowering experience. I'm here to listen and to help you manage difficult feelings as we work towards your goals together. I work with a variety of clients, and focus on helping those who are struggling with major life transitions. Many of the clients I work with are pregnant, or in the postnatal period, or are dealing with the demands of early parenting. Others may have lost someone close, or are going through a divorce or experiencing family conflict. The good news is that therapy can help with these issues.

Whether you are new to considering therapy or want to go deeper, I'm curious to hear your needs. I maintain that despite the difficulties in our lives, our systems are naturally oriented toward healing and wellbeing. Challenges through both environmental or internal stressors such as trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and more complex issues of Neurodiversity or personality disorder are issues that can improve.

I am a trauma-informed integrative psychotherapist with an interest in grief and loss, such as bereavement, relationship endings, identity-related struggles, or the loss of community. I am warm, inclusive and person-centred, holding space for the full complexity of the human experience- grief, joy and everything in between. I accompany people on their therapeutic journey, turning towards their pain with compassion and curiosity, guiding them to deeper self-awareness. I believe that understanding our grief helps us reclaim lost parts of ourselves, and, in doing so, we can restore a sense of wholeness and connection to life.
