Does this any of this sound familiar?

- You find yourself constantly on edge, or completely shut down.

- You keep going because you have to, but underneath you're exhausted.

- You find yourself overthinking conversations long after they've ended.

- You want to feel close to people, yet something makes it hard to fully let your guard down.

- You react more strongly than you'd like, then wonder why afterwards.

- You avoid certain people, places, or situations without really understanding why.

- You find yourself expecting the worst, even when everything seems okay.

- You learned to cope by staying busy, pleasing others, or keeping everything under control but now those ways of coping no longer serve you.

- You feel like you're surviving rather than truly living.

I work with people who have done their best to move forward but still carry the emotional impact of past experiences.

I’m a counsellor, coach, and clinical hypnotherapist with a special focus on trauma and loss.

Whether your experience is recent or long-held, together we can explore ways to help you feel more at ease in your body, safer in your relationships, and more able to trust your own inner guidance.

My background includes advanced training in trauma-focused therapy, alongside a range of evidence-informed approaches. Together we'll find a way of working that fits you, whether that's through thoughtful conversation, practical strategies, nervous system regulation, or gently processing painful memories when you're ready.

My role is to listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and support you as you make sense of your experiences and move towards the life you want.

We might explore emotional wounds from earlier relationships, patterns that began in childhood, or the after-effects of experiences such as domestic or sexual violence, moving at a pace that feels safe for you.

Therapeutic Approach:

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs, including:

- CBT, to untangle unhelpful thought loops and behaviours

- Psychodynamic approaches – to understand where patterns began and help with healing from past events

- Mindfulness and somatic work – to gently connect with your body and inner world

- NLP and solution-focused tools – to support change in ways that feel grounded and empowering

- Neurodivergence-informed therapy – to adapt the work for autistic adults and adults with ADHD

Together, we’ll find what works for you — no one-size-fits-all methods.

You might be drawn to working with me if:

- You’re living with the aftereffects of trauma, and long for safety and healing

- You want a space where you’re deeply seen, not pathologised

- You’re open to trying different ways of working — from talking, to tools, to deeper subconscious work
