Welcome
Whether you’re looking to stabilise and find day to day more manageable or to process some of the experiences that you have had, I can offer a safe, stable, space that starts you on your healing journey whenever you are ready.
I have years of experience working therapeutically with trauma and the impact it has on the way we encounter the world, others, and ourselves. I have counselled individuals with experiences of depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, substance misuse, suicidal thoughts and self harm.
Part of my own journey with my mental health has been periods of therapy so I understand and own my own processes in the therapy room. It also allows me to offer a real understanding of what it’s like to be on the ‘other side of the room’.
I have particular experience in working with:
- Dealing with the Impact of Trauma (from childhood as well as more recently, single event or multiple) – including sexual, physical, psychological, and emotional abuse.
- Existential issues ( such as loss, identity, making meaning)
- Anger
- Anxiety
- Depression
My approach is based on establishing a clear contract where both you and I agree on what the work is to be done and transparency in that I share the methods and concepts that will inform our sessions together
