My therapeutic approach is centred on addressing root causes of psychological suffering to create meaningful change, rather than “band-aiding” distress. I see people beyond their diagnoses and believe that your mental health struggles often make perfect sense in the context of your experiences. My goal is to help you feel safe enough to look inward and address your wounds.

I recognise that while certain coping strategies may have been useful in the past, they may no longer serve an individual’s well-being. Our work together may look like fostering awareness around how past experiences have shaped you, and learning practical skills to help you release what was absorbed as a result of trauma. This will allow you to offer yourself self-compassion and validation while unlearning the patterns keeping you stuck.

I have an intense passion for working with people with complex trauma and/or who identify with the symptoms of borderline personality disorder. I also have an interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals and working with young adults. One of my special interests is learning and delivering psycho-education around complex trauma in the context of neurodivergence.

My approach is mostly informed by: Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Nervous System Science including Polyvagal Theory, Schema Therapy, Somatic Therapy.

In addition to working with people individually, I facilitate women’s trauma groups in hospital settings. My experience working with trauma survivors has shown me that when people feel safe and seen, they begin to heal.

My own journey, navigating healing from complex trauma and uncovering my neurodivergence, has landed me here and is what fuels my deep passion for this work. I have completed DBT and complex trauma groups as a client and done EMDR and IFS therapy.

As someone who used to believe life was always going to be unbearably painful, I now know it is more than possible to find a sense of meaning, to build trust within myself, to have secure relationships, and so many other positive things after trauma.
