Life can sometimes feel especially overwhelming when your life experiences or close relationships have left you feeling unsafe, unseen or not good enough. You might appear to be coping on the outside, yet inside feel anxious, numb, angry, confused or deeply alone. If this resonates, you don’t have to face it by yourself. I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor, registered with the BACP, and I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly and honestly about what’s going on for you. My experience and particular interest is at working with people who have: • Traumatic and adverse childhood experiences or difficult early family experiences • Lived with domestic abuse • Ongoing relationship difficulties – with partners, family, friends or colleagues • Patterns such as people-pleasing, over-responsibility, or struggling to set boundaries • Experience anxiety, depression and low moods after distressing event or bereavement and loss As an integrative counsellor, I draw from different therapeutic approaches to suit you as an individual, always at your pace. My way of working is trauma-informed, gentle and collaborative. You are the expert in your own life; my role is to walk alongside you, supporting you so you can notice patterns, links, explore choices and strategies and ultimately achieve meaningful growth. My approach is warm and relational. I offer a confidential space where all parts of you are welcome, even the ones you might feel ashamed of, confused by or used to hiding. Trauma and PTSD can profoundly shape how you think, feel, and move through life, often without you fully noticing their impact. Trauma might be linked to one distressing event or bereavement, or to prolonged experiences such as childhood abuse or domestic violence. Counselling can provide a supportive space to make sense of these experiences. Working together, we can carefully explore the memories, emotions, and triggers that may be keeping you stuck, and develop helpful coping tools so you can move toward greater calm, stability, and healing.
