Great to meet you!

I am somatically orientated and trauma focused. My background is in substance misuse/harm reduction and chronic long term mental ill health. I am trained in multiple modalities that are focused on resolving issues like PTSD/ relational/attachment wounding/ challenges with setting/holding boundaries, co-dependency, emotional dysregulation, addiction and impulsivity. I am also an empath/intuitive and work with self identified highly sensitive people. My wish is to support you in finding a pathway back to wholeness,. I believe through having a space where you feel held in a non judgmental compassionate way to fully explore your patterns/ stuck beliefs, and release old patterns that are no longer serving you on your life you can start to become a better version of yourself.

My approach to therapy

I am trained in EMDR ( a trauma resolution modality aimed at helping resolving difficult and pervasive memories from the past). I offer somatic touch work to help people "get into their bodies" and regulate their nervous systems more effectively. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) or parts work (level one). I have also facilitated groups in outpatient eating disorder programs and I am very familiar with DBT/CBT skills.

What you can expect from me

I enjoy offering clients an opportunity to connect with their body (soma) as well as their psyche and emotions. To better explore stuck patterns, familial dynamics, assess limiting beliefs and explore how they might want to take a step towards undoing generational wounding and trauma, My wish is to facilitate individuals on their journey towards healing and wholeness, and support them in finding something new within for their future lives. The next step is to chat over a free consultation call and ask me questions/ get to know one another, and see if we might be a good fit moving forward. I look forward to connecting.
