WELCOME, YOU ARE AT THE RIGHT PLACE:
New here? In two minutes you'll get a feel for who I am, how I work, and whether this might be the right kind of support for you — before reading anything else on the site.: Video Introduction →
Wherever you are on your journey, I appreciate your courage in seeking support. If you have experienced complex, developmental or relational trauma - the kind that accumulates over years, not a single incident - you may have internalised feeling broken in ways that therapy cannot reach. My practice is for you.
If you've ever wondered why you react the way you do — or felt ashamed of patterns you can't seem to change — this video explains why those responses make complete sense. Survival responses aren't character flaws. They're the body doing exactly what it learned to do, watch: My Coping Responses Make Sense →
I companion clients with or without the formal diagnosis of C-PTSD, integrating body-based therapies, creative modalities, and Psychodrama approaches that work with trauma imprinted in your nervous system, beyond traditional talk therapy.
Wondering what 'Psychodrama' actually means in practice? This video shows how I use it to give your inner experiences a shape you can actually work with. Watch: How I Integrate Psychodrama →
PRACTICE FOCUS
Many therapeutic approaches may not cater to the sensitive terrain of complex trauma, where pace, relational safety, somatic resourcing and psychoeducation play a significant part.
If shame is part of what brings you here, this is worth watching. It explains why shame can feel so all-consuming — and why the way most of us have been taught to deal with it makes it worse, not better, watch: Understanding Shame →
I focus on attuned, embodied, and relational modalities that address how trauma affects your nervous system and daily life. I focus on learning to pause, slow down, step back, and listen to the body and move beyond survival mode. My approach emphasises resourcing and integration.
If you've only ever done talk therapy, this offering explains what's different about working with the body, watch: How Progress looks like in Body-Based Modalities→
In our 1-1 sessions, relationally-focused pair work, and therapeutic groups, we explore how your experiences show up in your body and what needs attention and integration.
Not sure what 'Creative Modalities' means — or worried it sounds like an art class? This video shows how creative approaches work in a therapeutic context, and why they can access where words alone can't, watch: How I Leverage Creative Modalities→
