In my practice, I provide a compassionate and supportive space to help individuals navigate various life challenges and emotional difficulties. My approach is centered on understanding each person’s unique context and experiences, rather than labeling or defining them by a condition.

Here are some of the areas I can help with:

Helping you navigate feelings of anxiety and stress, building resilience through personalized strategies and mindfulness practices.

Providing support for understanding and managing fluctuations in mood and daily functioning, by exploring underlying causes, patterns, individual experiences and developing emotional well-being.

Recognising experiences of low mood, thoughts of self-harm and feeling numb as responses to trauma or prolonged stress, offering compassionate presence to reconnect with emotions and regain a sense of vitality.

Helping you navigate and regulate intense emotions, fostering stable and healthy relationships, and understanding the sources of emotional numbing or volatility.

Specialized support for individuals experiencing post-traumatic stress and the effects of prolonged or repeated trauma, using trauma-focused approaches to foster healing.

Embracing and supporting diverse neurological experiences, while celebrating your unique strengths and perspectives. This is to support individuals who find themselves on a spectrum of neurodiversity- a natural variation in human cognition and experience.

Gently witnessing and healing attachment wounds, informed by attachment styles and betrayal trauma, while promoting secure relationships.

Support for goal-directedness, attention, activity levels, and organizational skills in ways that leverage your unique strengthsand abilities. 

Assistance with addressing repetitive thoughts and behaviours, focusing on understanding their derivations and finding healthier resources to adapt.

Enhancing communication and resolving conflicts with partners, family, and friends, including support for intimate partner violence, in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Providing a safe and supportive space to process the pain of loss, death, separation, bereavement, chronic illness and traumatic grief while understanding their impact on your life.

Building a stronger sense of self and exploring your identity in a supportive and affirming environment, helping you to embrace your truth.

Supporting individuals in developing a positive and healthy perception of their bodies, addressing societal pressures and internalized beliefs.

Addressing physical manifestations of emotional and psychological distress, exploring the mind-body connection to foster overall wellness.

Supporting you through significant life changes in your personal or professional life with confidence and clarity, helping you find new directions and purpose.

Fostering self-awareness and personal development to help you reach your innate potential, exploring new paths for growth and fulfillment.

Addressing age-related concerns such as loneliness, caregiver burden, and finding purpose in later life, with a focus on enhancing quality of life and well-being.

Assisting in making informed and confident decisions in various aspects of life, helping you navigate choices with clarity and confidence.

Offering a curious exploration and supportive inquiry of career paths and professional development, helping you align your work with your values and goals.

Supporting individuals dealing with academic pressures, challenges, and transitions, promoting resilience and success in educational pursuits.

Helping individuals achieve harmony and balance between their personal and professional lives, fostering overall well-being and satisfaction.

My work is mainly informed by and grounded in the following modalities, while I use a customised approach suited to your needs, comfort, safety and therapy goals: 

Trauma Focused Therapy

A specialized approach to therapy that is phase-based, typically starting with stabilization techniques to establish safety and resources. It then incorporates memory reprocessing and integration techniques to help individuals process and make sense of their traumatic experiences. This process is trauma-informed, meaning it is sensitive to your unique needs, adaptive responses and prevents re-traumatization.

Internal Family Systems

Refers to using this as an IFS informed therapist. This is a psycho-spiritual model that sees each person as having a Self and various inner parts, each with its own wisdom and purpose. These parts can carry emotional wounds or burdens from the past. The focus is on accessing and healing these wounded parts by connecting with the Self, which is naturally compassionate and wise. This process allows for the release of emotional burdens, the restoration of inner harmony, and the cultivation of a greater sense of wholeness and authenticity.

Narrative Exposure Therapy

This is a brief, structured and evidence- based approach particularly for PTSD and complex trauma. It involves clients creating a chronological account of their life story, focusing on significant events, including traumatic experiences. Through guided exposure techniques within the context of storytelling, clients gradually process and integrate traumatic memories into their life narrative. NET is designed to be culturally adaptable, incorporating storytelling traditions relevant to the client's background.

Humanistic Therapy

You will experience a holistic, non- judgmental, empathetic, and supportive environment where you are encouraged to explore your thoughts and feelings openly. Some of the work will be grounded in Existential Psychotherapy and Gestalt Therapy which will involve exploring fundamental questions about life such as meaning, choice, personal freedom and responsibility. Methods may include creative expression, experiential exercises, resolving for closure and role-playing.

Grief Therapy

Grief Therapy provides compassionate support to help individuals navigate the complex emotions following a significant loss. Whether mourning a loved one, the end of a relationship, or another life change, this therapy offers a safe space to express and explore feelings such as sadness, anger, and confusion. The goal of grief therapy is not to "get over" your loss, but to find a way to live with it.This process helps you integrate the loss into your life, to find meaning and resilience, honour your memories and heal at your own pace.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

DBT combines elements of CBT with mindfulness practices and focuses on developing four main skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The term "dialectic" refers to the concept of integrating opposites. It involves finding a balance between two seemingly contradictory ideas or positions. Specifically, DBT focuses on balancing acceptance and change.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

CBT helps one understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours that may be causing distress. By learning new ways of thinking and responding, individuals can develop healthier coping strategies and improve their emotional well-being. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often involving homework assignments and active participation in sessions to achieve positive outcomes.
