About Me
Imagine waking up every morning feeling like you can take on the world. How great does that feel? I qualified in 2014 and I could rabbit off a list of all my qualifications (for those who do want these, I have listed them further down) but I think what most people are looking for is understanding and connection which is where I come in, for I have always been fascinated with people. It is this exact reason why I do the work I do — I offer a wide range of counselling and psychological services to guide clients through life’s challenges and most trying times.
Life can get difficult, and sometimes a little help from a professional Psychotherapist can make things better. I care about your well-being and provide you all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances.
To me the greatest gift you can give someone is your time, time dedicated purely to you, unadulterated time for you to be who you need to be, to say what you want and need to say in the way you want to say it, no judgement, no interruptions, no limitations with complete and utter positive regard and the deepest containment available.
My Qualifications
What Makes Me Stand Out
Trauma and the body: Somatisation and Dissociation
Trauma doesn’t just affect the mind and the emotions. It profoundly affects the brain and the body too. Often ‘the body remembers’ what the mind cannot, manifesting not just in long-term psychological difficulties but in physical ones too. Trauma is not something ‘all in the mind’, or something that we can just think or talk ourselves out of.
Training in how there is no real split between ‘body’ and ‘mind’ – and certainly not when it comes to trauma.
