I have been in the field of therapy and safeguarding for many years and have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem and loss.
I specialise in working with people who have experienced recent or non-recent child abuse, sexual trauma, domestic abuse and relationship issues as well as people who are struggling with self-harm and suicidal thoughts.
Often child abuse, sexual trauma and domestic abuse can have a psychological, emotional and physical impact that can leave you struggling to cope, constantly hyper-viligent, disconnected from who you are and feeling like there is no way forwards. I focus on helping survivors to feel safe, grounded and in control.
My approach combines psychodynamic therapy to look at your past experiences, parts work to explore different aspects of you like your inner child or inner critic and how they impact you, trauma-informed therapy to ensure stability, psychoeducation to help you understand why your brain and body respond the way they do and creative work to help you express yourself in different ways.
If you are looking to heal, rebuild and live your life freely, I am here for you. You deserve to be happy and I look forward to working with you.
