About me
I work holistically and somatically with a wide range of issues, particularly with anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, low self-worth, and childhood wounds and trauma, including complex trauma. Whether you feel disconnected from your true self, feeling stuck in life, struggling with never feeling good enough, or simply longing for someone to listen with no judgement, my aim is to help you move forward.
Rather than seeing you as a problem that needs fixing, I believe there are often good reasons why we develop the patterns we do, even when those patterns later become painful or unhelpful. Together we will work towards helping you build your capacity to handle difficult emotions or experiences, help you reconnect with your body and your true self and break free from old patterns that no longer serve you.
My Approach
My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed and integrative, which means that our work is shaped around you, your experiences and what you need from therapy, drawing from different theories and practices tailored specifically to your therapy goals and needs.
Talking is an important part of therapy, but sometimes it does not feel enough to create real change. This is why I also incorporate somatic and body-based approaches into my work. This means that we may gently explore how emotions and experiences show up in your body and use this awareness to better understand what you're experiencing and support you in feeling more connected to yourself.
Depending on what feels right for you, our sessions may include a variety of practices and exercised drawing from mindfulness, breath-work, somatic experiencing, inner-child and parts work, EFT tapping, guided imagery and other therapeutic techniques.
You are always in control of what we explore, and we can work at a pace that feels manageable for you.
Get in touch
I understand how deeply trauma and past experiences can shape the way you see yourself and the world, because I’ve been there too. Healing isn’t easy, and it can feel scary to let someone in. That’s why my work is grounded in safety, compassion and non-judgement, so you can show up openly and freely, as you truly are.
If something here resonates with you, you're very welcome to get in touch or book an introductory call. I'd love to hear from you :)
