My Approach

Trained in Transactional Analysis (Post Graduate Diploma) I utilise an integrative approach, heavily relational when it suits the client.

I look to provide an empowering and safe space whereby you can fully focus on yourself as the priority and work out how that can safely be integrated into your life. I look at how your upbringing and childhood experiences have impacted you today and we uncover what you'd like to change and how to go about that.

I use different approaches to working with Trauma, depending on what is most appropriate for the client. Sometimes working through your recollection of the Trauma is helpful, but more often than not it serves only to retraumatise a person. It is my role to carefully work out what is safe and to pace the therapy according to where the client is at that moment. I use Polyvagal Theory to assist in tempering work aiming to calm and reregulate the body so that Trauma symptoms reduce and potentially disappear. Guided visualisations, breathing exercise and grounding work all have their place, but they are not always a part of early trauma healing. I also incorporate some seated trauma sensitive yoga movements where appropriate.

About Me

I've been practicing since 2018, and have gained a great deal of experience working with burnout, stress, overwhelm and trauma.

I'm proud to be a Psychotherapist. I have a passion for empowering autonomy, which enables you to find your voice and live your freedom.

Everyone has a truth, a reality and a story. We live them each day and part of what we do together will be co-creating your journey. I love the process of that creation, putting your life in the spotlight and refining your experiences with interpretation and meaning that enable you to live the life you want to going forward.

I'm offering you;

Understanding, Empowerment and Authenticity.
