About 

I am a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who is compassionate and sincere. I provide a caring environment and the conditions needed for personal exploration that support your natural movement toward healing - something already present within each of us. With genuine interest, curiosity, and being alongside you, I listen to understand and be with you to explore your thoughts, feelings and current difficulties.  Together we pay attention to what is going on in both mind and body. There isn’t always an easy answer or a way to simply wish difficulties away - but together, we can explore what’s happening and move forward at a pace that feels right for you so that you can be more self-attuned and live a more enriched and fulfilled life. From this you can make healthier, more meaningful choices that are more inline with your deepest self, not the self that you feel you should be or expected to be. 

I am trauma‑specialised, drawing on the work of Janina Fisher and emphasises relational safety, somatic and emotional regulation, and gently explores the parts of us - thoughts, feelings, behaviours and sensations - that can feel disturbing, out of place or cause emotional blockages. This can look like anxiety, depression, panic attacks, confidence and self-esteem issues, relationship issues, generally feeling stuck in life and PTSD or Complex PTSD symtoms.

These parts often hold the experiences of past trauma, and when we approach them with curiosity and compassion, they can become pathways to understanding and growth. In my experience, healing from complex trauma is supported by a nurturing, consistent therapeutic relationship, and it is not uncommon for people to have therapy for several years. 

Through my own inner work and embodied healing, I have come to realise the inner wisdom and strength that can unfold when exploring painful feelings, sensations and experiences, helping us to make meaning of our life or current challenges. 

Rewind Therapy

Rewind is a gentle process that helps ease trauma, anxiety, and phobias. It is quietly transformative - no need to re-live distressing memories or speak them aloud. Instead, it works by allowing the mind to process and reframe what’s been stuck, often bringing a deep sense of relief and calm. Rewind is one of the ways you can be supported in reconnecting with your sense of stability and wholeness - gently, and at your pace.

I offer counselling to those over 18 years old. My counselling experience includes short-term and longer-term counselling, supporting people with a wide range of difficulties. I have also supported people with perinatal mental health and survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence.
