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.
​
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.
