About me and my therapy practice
I have 7 years experience working as a trauma informed therapist in a specialist service as well as working privately for the past 5 years. My approach is informed broadly by Herman's 3 principles of safe trauma practice - Safety and Stabilisation, Processing, Reintegration and Reconnection. Trauma comes in many forms - abuse, neglect, loss of loved one, coping with a medical diagnosis - and there is no one way to work with your trauma as it is unique to you. Over the years I have sat with, explored, and supported individuals to heal from their trauma history - to stabilise, process, and repair relational needs of individuals. What that looks like for each individual will be different.
Practice description
I have experience working therapeutically with trauma and the impact it has on the way we encounter the world, others, and ourselves. I have counselled individuals with experiences of depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, substance misuse, suicidal thoughts and self harm.
Whether you're looking to stabilise and find day to day more manageable or to process some of the experiences that you have had, I can offer a safe, stable, space that starts you on your healing journey whenever you are ready.
