My Approach

My work with trauma (over-whelming experience) is influenced by Sensorimotor Psychotherapy which acknowledges that the body holds its own non-verbal memory that may not have words.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a non-pathologising, mindful way of working towards internal attachment repair.
It is respectful of our protective system that has helped us survive and often defends the parts of us that hold vulnerability. Working from the belief that we all have good at our core.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is a talk therapy that is able to support the discharge of shock from the Mid Brain.

I have a broad range of experience working with individual adults with developments trauma.
I endeavour to offer a place for you to gain some perspective on your life, and gain an understanding of why you sometimes behave in ways you do not like or understand.
