I have face to face availability on Thursday evenings and Online & telephone sessions throughout the week in the evenings and also on Saturday mornings.

Do you feel on high alert, anxious about day to day events, struggling with constant overwhelming thoughts of not feeling good enough or needing to be perfect. Life can feel so exhausting when you, are struggling with difficult emotions, difficult past experiences, or maybe trying to get or have a diagnosis. I understand what it feels like: the sense of confusion, isolation and feeling lost with how to manage and be strong, be enough.

I can help you with feeling lighter, more connected to others, confident with daily life as well as feeling more in control and less anxious. Together we can work on reducing the impact of flashbacks, reducing feelings of overwhelm and manage self harm or suicidal thoughts and feelings.

I will be on the journey with you as you learn more about yourself and understand as well as sit with big feelings such as intense frustration. Learning the to reduced unhelpful behaviours and build a clearer picture of who you are.

I specialise in working with Adults and young people who have experienced Trauma. I am a School Counsellor with a disability and am a mum of 2 teens who have additional & different needs. I have 7 years of Crisis Support experience, 20 years as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and 13 years as a Holistic Therapist.

All of my experience helps me to understand how you are feeling without judgement only compassion. I am flexible with the support I offer because I know life is complicated enough already. I offer tailored therapy because everyone is different, you might like to utilise creativity, visualisation, practical strategies to calm and soothe. I will be guided by you as we explore what feels helpful and useful.

I am really glad you felt able to start the process of looking for support, it can feel so hard to reach out for support and admit things are not ok, I offer a free 30 minute call to help you feel comfortable & understand the process and if you would like to work with me. I hope you can take that next step and get in touch to talk things through some more.

Our first session together is designed for you to share your hopes and goals for therapy and to help you understand how therapy might be useful to you as well as more about what it might look like based on your needs but also if you feel we would work well together and can develop a supportive connection.
