About me
Specialising in trauma, depression and anxiety, therapy with me will enable you to: gain a clearer understanding of your internal system, develop ways to regulate when triggered, heal old wounds and patterns, restore harmony and peace to your whole self.
My training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy alongside psychotherapeutic counselling, somatic work and mindfulness provide a depth of healing approaches for us to draw from, providing the most supportive and helpful experience for you.
I work with many clients suffering from adverse and traumatic events in childhood or adult hood. During sessions we get to know the protective parts (often known as coping strategies) that shield more vulnerable parts of us carrying pain and help relieve them of the burdens they carry. Most clients quite quickly develop a new and improved way of relating to their inner landscape.
I work in person from The Dorset Practice in Poole Quay and Kalm Space therapy rooms in Ashley Cross, Poole, Dorset. Online sessions are also available. Sessions run for 50 minutes (longer if required) and are open-ended. Fees are £55, concessions are available on request.

Further information
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy assumes we have multiple 'parts' within that respond to certain triggers or show up in certain situations. These parts or protectors have our best interest at heart, even if it doesn't always feel that way, and our purpose in therapy is to create a better relationship between Self and parts, relieving them of the burdens they carry which in turn enables you to heal and feel immeasurably better.
