Biography:
I work with individuals who are navigating overwhelming experiences that lead to emotional distress, specialising in trauma counselling alongside the complex challenges of chronic health conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, adenomyosis, cancer, and chronic pain. These difficulties can bring isolation, grief, a loss of identity, and struggles with self-worth and body image. Through my own lived experience and specialised training, I understand the deep emotional toll these conditions and trauma can take, not only on the person affected but also on their loved ones.
In our work together, I focus on creating a safe and trusting space where you feel truly seen and understood. I believe trauma leaves imprints on the mind, body, and emotions, and I use a range of techniques including Deep Brain Reorienting (certified) and somatic awareness to support your nervous system, helping you feel calm and grounded. I draw on Internal Family Systems, where every part of you has value—even those parts that may feel unhelpful or difficult.
It is a privilege to walk alongside you as we explore your story, cultivate self-compassion, and find ways to reconnect with yourself and the world around you. If you would like to discuss your needs further, I invite you to book a free phone consultation through my website so I can offer you the time and attention you deserve.
