My area of focus is working towards a renegotiation and repair from trauma experienced when younger. In this work I specialise in supporting many of its symptoms; low self-esteem, anger issues, depression, anxiety and prioritising others at a cost to ourselves. 

Anxiety is a common symptom that I work with. Often we feel anxiety as a physical sensation in our stomach and chest which can trigger us to over-think. Quite often our worry is exacerbated by both how alone we feel and not knowing what is  triggering our anxiety. I can offer you the therapeutic tools to soothe and relieve your anxiety to  become less controlled by it. 

I work with issues relating to attachment, separation/divorce, family relations, narcissistic abuse, self-concept and self-image. 

I have worked with people of all ages who have experienced complex grief of many kinds. I offer you a way to grow around your grief, so that you don’t have to ‘move on’ but rather ‘forward’ with your unique and valued sense of loss. 

I have worked with many people living with chronic pain, supporting  them to have a deeper and more compassionate understanding of why their body’s Nervous System is compromised with such pain. Such quality of validation can relieve their symptoms of pain and in turn my capacity for emotional self-regulation. 

Offering two types of therapeutic approaches (talking and/or creative therapy) that is tailored towards your needs and emotional strengths. 

Somatic awareness of the body; from the word 'Soma' deriving from the Greek word for ‘body.’ This talking therapy approach, helps you to shepherd your awareness of how you physically both hold and release emotional  overwhelm, stress and trauma. 

That supports you to find your comfortable pace to have more choice about what and how to explore your needs in therapy.
