About me
Hello, I'm Grace.
I specialise in nurturing relationships, intimacy, and overcoming trauma. I work with individuals and couples, offering a compassionate space to explore and heal feelings of not being good enough and rebuild your self-worth. Whether you're feeling stuck, longing to enhance your intimate connections, or needing gentle support through significant life changes, I'm here for you with warmth and understanding.
My approach is to help you identify behavioural patterns and emotional blocks that may be affecting your connections with yourself and others. With compassion at the heart of my practice, I aim to help you release shame and embrace your self-worth.
For Couples:
When working with couples, I focus on nurturing connection and communication. Together, we'll find ways to cultivate kindness, understanding, intimacy and a fulfilling sex life, while gently addressing any underlying resentments. My goal is to support your relationship’s growth and resilience. I respect and warmly welcome all forms of relationship dynamics.
Childhood Trauma, Sexual Trauma or Abusive Relationships.
Are experiences that have happened to you still affecting you today? Are they affecting your relationships with yourself and others? I want to help you make sense of your experiences. It is my passion to help you learn who you are and empower you to make positive change.
