My Approach

Welcome!

In my work, I have trained in a range of psychotherapeutic modalities. I draw upon a broad spectrum of psychotherapeutic knowledge and tune my approach to match the uniqueness of each individual I work with. I use visualisation techniques and relaxation strategies to enable the releasing of old trauma.

Sometimes we can experience feelings of despair and anxiety without really knowing where they are coming from and why we are struggling to cope. Invariably, many of the difficulties in adult life have origins in childhood trauma or adverse circumstances that have been previously traumatic. We can be triggered into states of depression and fright without knowing why. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to make the appropriate psychological links and find relief from feelings of persecution by our own emotional states or frightening memories.

At the heart of what I do, is to support you and work alongside you as a compassionate companion through the challenges you might be facing. I see the process of psychotherapy as a partnership in creative care and solution-focused exploration, with resolution. My primary aim would be to help you find the best way to live your life for you. 

I have a particular specialist knowledge, expertise, empathy and passion to support women experiencing birth fear, trauma and loss in their journey through pregnancy, birth and parenthood.
