About me

Taking the first step toward support can feel daunting, but it’s also an act of courage. Whether you’re here because you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to embrace positive change, I want you to know you’re not alone, and I’m here to help.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand how past experiences can shape our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in ways that sometimes feel difficult to untangle. That’s why I create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your challenges at your own pace.

Using an integrative approach, I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. I am trained in hypnotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), and other evidence-based approaches, allowing me to offer a flexible and holistic framework to support deep healing and personal growth.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges, our work together will focus on helping you gain clarity, break unhelpful patterns, and develop the tools to move forward with confidence.

I specialise in working with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, gently guiding them to uncover the root causes of their struggles while equipping them with practical skills for lasting change.

In our sessions, you won’t just learn ways to manage life’s ups and downs you’ll also develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your emotions, and your inner strengths. My goal is to empower you to move through life with greater ease, resilience, and a renewed sense of control, knowing that you already have the ability to thrive.

Whatever challenges you’re facing, I’m here to support you every step of the way. When you're ready, we’ll begin this journey together toward healing, self-discovery, and a more fulfilling future
