If you’re exhausted from being strong all the time, doubting yourself, or feeling stuck in painful relationship patterns-you’re not alone.

You might be carrying the weight of childhood trauma or past abuse, always putting others first, struggling to trust, or feeling disconnected from who you are. You want to feel safe in your own body, set boundaries without guilt, rebuild confidence, and finally take back control of your life and relationships. That’s where I come in.

My Approach- Trauma-Informed and Collaborative

I specialise in working with childhood sexual abuse, domestic and sexual abuse, and harmful relationship dynamics. I combine several approaches to support healing:

Trauma-Informed Therapy - Understanding how trauma affects the brain, body, and relationships, and helping you feel safe again.

Person-Centred Therapy – You set the pace. I offer empathy, respect, and genuine connection so you feel seen and heard.

Mind-Body Awareness – Helping calm your nervous system, reduce anxiety, and build safety in the body.

Psychoeducation – Understanding trauma responses (like people-pleasing, shutdown, overthinking or hypervigilance) so you can change them with self-compassion.

Relational Therapy – Exploring attachment and patterns in relationships, so you can build healthier and safer connections.

Boundary & Self-Worth Work – Supporting you to say “no” without guilt and choose yourself without fear.

Each approach is tailored to you.

Clients often say therapy with me feels like finally being understood- and finally having someone in their corner & bear witness to what they have experienced.
