About Me 

I am a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who is compassionate and sincere. I provide a caring, safe environment and the conditions needed for personal exploration.   With genuine interest and kindness, 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 live a more enriched and fulfilled life.

I support those who have experienced complex trauma and long‑standing patterns of survival that can feel confusing or overwhelming. My approach is trauma‑specialised, drawing on the work of Janina Fisher and emphasising relational safety, somatic and emotional regulation, and gently exploring the parts of us - thoughts, feelings, behaviours and sensations - that can feel disturbing or out of place. These parts often hold the story 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.

I have engaged in Process Work, which enhances awareness of our inner process and helps us to understand how external events impact. I have found this work to be transformational. Exploring inner processes, some of which can be terrifying, and conflicts without judgement can support our healing process and help us to address life challenges and mental health diagnosis.

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 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.
