About the therapist:

I am a Person-Centred psychotherapist, trauma-informed and polyvagal-informed, dedicated to facilitating a process that encourages reconnection with your sense of safety and inner experience.

Experience and approach:

Empowering, Not Pathologising

I view human distress as a natural response to life’s challenges, not as a sign of illness. Instead of focusing on labels, we'll explore the ways you’ve adapted to navigate the world and help you find new, more supportive pathways forward.

Trauma-Informed and Somatic Awareness

Informed by Polyvagal Theory and the Power Threat Meaning Framework, I bring an understanding of how trauma and stress affect the body and mind. Together, we’ll explore your experiences in a way that feels safe and grounding, helping you reconnect with your inner balance and regulation.

What You Can Expect

Through our work together, you may find:

- Clarity and Self-Understanding: Gain insight into your emotions and the patterns that shape your experiences.

- Healing and Growth: Process past wounds and move toward healing in a way that feels manageable and empowering.

- Stronger Relationships: Cultivate healthier connections with yourself and others.

- Resilience and Balance: Develop ways to navigate challenges with greater ease and confidence.

Collaborative and Flexible Therapy

For those navigating complex challenges, I offer a collaborative approach tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll build a shared understanding of your experiences and move through the healing process at your pace. Therapy is not linear, and I respect your rhythm, revisiting places of safety and exploration as needed.

A Safe and Inclusive Space

I welcome individuals and couples from all walks of life, creating a respectful, inclusive environment where you feel heard, understood, and accepted.

Moving Forward

Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, trauma, relational struggles, or self-exploration, my role is to help you feel more connected, resilient, and at ease with yourself. Therapy can lead to profound shifts, helping you build a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with who you are.
