About me

Having sought therapy myself when facing my own adversities, I have a profound understanding of the courage it takes to ask for help. I recognise the importance of being heard and understood, when this may not be something you are experiencing in other areas of your life. I pride myself in being attentive, empathic and holding, whilst taking a non- directive approach, enabling you autonomy in therapy, choosing the pace at which you wish to go.

 

I have worked with individuals facing a variety of challenges, such as;

* Loss

* Trauma

* Adoption/Adoption trauma

* Anxiety

* Anger

* Depression

* Autism

* Identity issues

* Addictions 

* Abuse/Domestic/ Narcissistic abuse

* Post-natal depression/ peri-menopause/menopause, premenstrual dysphoric disorder

* Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/ Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

* Disordered eating

 

My previous experiences in employment have informed my current therapeutic work; leaning towards a special interest in adoption and attachment issues, as well as family dynamics. I am equally interested in multi-cultural issues, due to my personal lived experience of growing up abroad, I  therefore have an understanding of what it is to adapt to different countries and cultures. 

 

I work with clients 18 yrs and above
