Holistic mental health care
for every stage of life

I am an experienced trauma psychotherapist and social worker, specialising in helping people process and recover from distressing experiences, heal the impact of trauma and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

With a particular focus on PTSD, complex and developmental trauma, I work with people who have experienced childhood abuse, neglect, domestic and family violence, sexual trauma, attachment wounds, grief and loss, traumatic events and other experiences that have impacted their emotional wellbeing. I also support people navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulties with emotional regulation, relationship patterns, neurodivergence, and the emotional challenges of pregnancy, the antenatal and perinatal period, and parenthood.

I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach, drawing on Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). These approaches allow us to go beyond simply talking about what has happened, supporting you to process unresolved experiences, understand protective patterns, work through difficult emotions and create meaningful, lasting change.

I recognise that trauma doesn’t look the same for everyone. It can show up as anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, difficulty trusting others, feeling constantly on edge, emotional numbness, shame, self-criticism or struggling to feel safe in relationships. Sometimes, the connection between past experiences and present-day difficulties isn’t immediately obvious.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative and grounded in the understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. I take the time to understand your story, your experiences and what you need from therapy, creating a space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted without judgement. I am particularly passionate about providing inclusive, affirming support for LGBTQIA+ individuals and neurodivergent clients.

Whether you’re beginning to explore the impact of past experiences, working through long standing patterns or simply wanting to feel more like yourself again, I will meet you where you are and work alongside you at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

I help couples and families improve communication, resolve conflict, rebuild trust and strengthen emotional connections, supporting relationships to not just survive, but thrive.

When separation is necessary, I believe there is a better way forward. I support parents to navigate separation with less conflict, greater understanding and a shared focus on their children's emotional wellbeing.

In court-ordered family therapy, I help families work through past hurts, reduce conflict and rebuild healthier family and co-parenting relationships, with a strong commitment to positive, child-focused outcomes.

I also provide clinical supervision to counsellors across all areas of practice, with a particular interest in supporting couples, family and relationship counsellors.

My approach is warm, empathetic and practical, offering a safe, non-judgemental space where support is tailored to your unique needs, circumstances and goals.

I have a strong interest in relational dynamics, including attachment patterns, family systems, and the impacts of coercive control. I understand how complex and disorienting these experiences can be, and I work alongside you to explore and untangle these patterns—helping you rebuild your sense of self and develop healthier, more empowering ways of relating to yourself and others. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centred, drawing on evidence-based practices while remaining flexible and responsive.

I deeply value authenticity and believe that feeling safe, supported, and genuinely seen is the foundation for meaningful change. Together, we’ll work toward building resilience, strengthening self-understanding, and helping you reconnect with who you are beneath life’s challenges.

• Graduate Certificate Neuroscience
• Master of Counselling

I believe counselling should be a space where you can be yourself, speak openly and feel genuinely listened to. Since 2017, I have supported individuals and couples through a range of personal, emotional and relationship challenges. My approach is relaxed, supportive and down-to-earth, with a focus on building a genuine connection and working together towards what matters most to you.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, domestic and family violence, separation, co-parenting challenges and concerns around confidence and self-worth. Whether you’re working through a difficult relationship, adjusting to a new chapter in life or feeling stuck and unsure about what comes next, I aim to help you make sense of your circumstances and find a way forward.

My therapeutic approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. I use these approaches flexibly, depending on what you need, helping you explore unhelpful patterns, recognise your strengths, consider new perspectives and develop practical strategies that translate into everyday life.

I understand that reaching out for counselling isn’t always easy. You don’t need to know exactly what you want to talk about or have a clear idea of what needs to change. Sometimes, having the opportunity to slow down, talk openly and feel heard is a valuable place to start.

If you’re considering counselling, I invite you to book an appointment. Whether you have something specific you’d like to work through or simply feel ready for a change, I’d be glad to work alongside you, helping you find clarity, build confidence and take the next steps towards a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling.
