My counselling practice is a place where you will be truly seen, known, and accepted.

Whether you are navigating trauma, chronic illness, chronic pain, or emotional

distress, I provide a safe, supportive environment to explore your experiences and

feelings.

For those living with the effects of trauma, such as PTSD, I understand how it can feel like

your mind and body are stuck in survival mode—constantly on edge, battling flashbacks, or

struggling with feelings of shame and disconnection. Using evidence-based approaches like

Internal Family Systems and Deep Brain Reorienting, I will help you gently reconnect with

yourself, addressing the imprints of trauma on your body, brain and emotions to foster calm

and healing.

If you are managing a chronic condition or ongoing pain, I bring both lived experience and

specialised training to help you navigate the complex emotional and physical toll these

challenges bring. I understand the frustration, grief, and isolation they can cause. Together,

we will work to reclaim a sense of control, hope, and connection while honouring your

strength and resilience.

In my practice, I recognise that every part of you has value—even the parts that may feel

overwhelming or unhelpful right now. Together, we will cultivate curiosity, kindness, and

empowerment as we explore your story. I draw on approaches such as Internal Family

Systems, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and Deep Brain Reorienting to support your

mind and body in finding balance and relief.

I have worked both in the hospital system and privately with adults facing a range of

challenges, including trauma, PTSD, chronic illness, and chronic pain. Many of my clients

have shared that I was the first person to truly listen to their story, and I feel deeply honoured

to hold space for those who may feel unseen or unheard.
