I focus on Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Client focused, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solutions focused, Somatic Therapy, Suicide Prevention, Trauma Focused
I’m an accredited Mental Health Social Worker and experienced counsellor, working primarily with adults who have experienced relational or complex trauma. Many clients arrive feeling exhausted, stuck, or overwhelmed by the ongoing impacts of trauma; often carrying shame, self-blame, and exhaustion of living in survival mode. My work is holistic and trauma-responsive as I work to help people understand how these past experiences have impacted their sense of self and worldview, address and reduce feelings of shame and self-blame, and reconnect with themselves in ways that create greater ease, safety, and choice. I use a range of modalities tailored to each client, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Polyvagal Theory, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, and Somatic approaches. I also provide trauma-informed psychosexual therapy for clients navigating sex-based concerns, either as a specialist service or integrated into broader therapy depending on goals. Trauma can affect many parts of life, including mental health, relationships, intimacy, identity, and overall wellbeing. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. I offer a safe, collaborative space to explore how your experiences have shaped you, reduce shame and self-blame, and reconnect with yourself in ways that create greater ease, safety, and choice. If this feels like the right place for you, I welcome you to reach out and see if we might work together.
