My Therapeutic Approach:
I offer a steady, relational and trauma‑informed approach that centres safety, trust and genuine human connection. Our work moves at your pace, creating space to understand your emotions, make sense of your experiences and reconnect with the parts of you that have had to work too hard for too long.
My practice is integrative, drawing from person‑centred therapy, psychodynamic thinking, DBT informed strategies, mindfulness and body‑based awareness. This allows us to shape the work around what you need—whether that’s exploring the roots of long‑standing patterns, developing emotional regulation or finding clarity in the present moment.
I bring experience from NHS services, specialist training in trauma and addiction counselling, and a commitment to ongoing professional development. Alongside this, my own lived experience of addiction and trauma recovery informs the warmth, steadiness and empathy I bring to the room.
Together, we work collaboratively to help you understand your inner world, strengthen your resources and move toward a life that feels more grounded, connected and possible.
