About Me

My Work

I am a counsellor specialising in trauma-focused therapy for children, teenagers, and adults.

I work in schools and private practice, supporting people with difficult experiences, emotional distress, and relationship challenges.

How I Work

Understanding begins with your experience: what has happened, how it affects you, and what matters to you now.

Sometimes we can talk about what hurts. Sometimes we first notice it in tension, emotion, or a feeling we cannot name.

I draw on conversation, creative expression, and body awareness.

There is room for words, silence, and feelings that are not yet easy to name.

Together, we work towards greater safety, self-understanding, and choice — at a pace that respects you.

Beyond My Work

Nature helps me slow down and notice.

Walking, cycling, and time with my daughter remind me of the value of curiosity, play, and ordinary moments of connection.

What Matters to Me

Therapy is a place where you can bring what is difficult to carry alone.

I offer careful attention, compassion, and psychological understanding to help you find a way forward that feels your own.
