My Approach
I provide a trauma informed, safe and supportive space for you to explore what’s on your mind. Together we’ll focus on practical, evidence-based strategies that are tailored to your needs. My goal is to help you feel stronger, more resilient, and better equipped for life’s challenges.
How I work
Trauma-Informed Care
All work is grounded in safety, trust, choice, and collaboration, creating a space where you feel supported and in control.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people process traumatic, stressful, or overwhelming experiences. It can reduce the emotional impact of difficult memories and support lasting recovery and resilience.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
An evidence-based approach to understanding and shifting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns linked to anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma responses.
Strengths-Based & Solution-Focused Therapy
Focused on what’s already working, helping you build practical strategies for meaningful and sustainable change.
Motivational Interviewing
A collaborative, non-judgemental approach that supports motivation and change at your own pace.
Parts-Based & Trauma Processing Approaches
Including Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed timeline work, and EMDR (available 2026), used thoughtfully when clinically appropriate.
