I have 17 years experience of working therapeutically with both adults and children. I offer a safe and warm and confidential space to explore and process your experiences in your own time. I adhere to the BACP ethical framework. Initially, I offer an assessment to understand what issues you would like to explore and any goals you might have for our work together. However, this initial assessment is a guide for us and as our therapeutic relationship develops the themes and goals can evolve and change. We can regularly review these throughout our work. 

​

I offer both trauma informed and trauma focussed therapy - Trauma focussed work may be helpful for people who have experienced or witnessed specific traumatic events. I have significant experience of working with children and adults who have experienced sexual abuse and complex and traumatic bereavement. I am also experienced in working with Domestic abuse. I work in a way that utilises these competencies The three-phase model of trauma recovery, often based on Judith Herman's work, These phases are: Safety and Stabilisation, Remembrance and Trauma Processing, and Reconnection and Integration. This model emphasises that trauma recovery is not always a linear process and clients may need to come back to these phases throughout the work. Trauma work starts with acknowledging and normalising how the brain and nervous system work.

​

I am competent in working with children and adults experiencing a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression and self-harm. 

I am also experienced in working with Neurodivergence. 

I am a Clinical Supervisor and am experienced in supervising therapists who work with children, young people and adults.
