YOU ARE AT THE RIGHT PLACE

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. If you have internalised feeling broken, my practice is for you.

If you have been self-critical of your choices and can't seem to resolve them, this video explains why those instinctual responses make complete sense. Survival responses aren't character flaws. They're the mind-heart-body doing exactly what it has learned, watch, My Coping Responses Make Sense →

I companion clients with or without the formal diagnosis of C-PTSD with co-occurring challenges [eg. disordered eating, neurodiversity, race, disability, gender etc], integrating body-based therapies, creative modalities, and Psychodrama approaches to work with trauma imprinted in your nervous system, beyond traditional talk therapy.

PRACTICE FOCUS

Many therapeutic approaches may not effectively cater to the sensitive terrain of complex trauma, where pace, relational safety, somatic resourcing and psychoeducation play a significant role.

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.
