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 Brainspotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, and Internal Family Systems 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.
My Experience​
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.
