My extensive expertise includes specialisation in trauma treatment and couples therapy. I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and find healing. I will support you in finding your voice, self-confidence and advocating for your boundaries. I will accompany you on a journey to find healing for your trauma and help you get in touch with a wise, compassionate and creative part of yourself. As an experienced therapist, I work with individuals and couples to navigate life's challenges. 

As a trauma specialist, I offer treatment for birth trauma, traumatic bereavement, traumatic medical treatment, Complex PTSD, childhood trauma, and any other trauma. 

I am a qualified EMDR therapist, and I am working through my accreditation with EMDR Europe. In addition to EMDR, my trauma-informed work is enriched with skills and competencies in Internal Family System, Emotion-Focused Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy. My clients can expect a sensitive and warm approach.  

As a couple's therapist, the issues I address are:

 - Conflict

- lack of support

- betrayal of trust and affairs

- relationship crises

- poor communication

- separation and endings

- unfulfilling relationship

- moving to mastery in a relationship where you can thrive

 My supporting qualifications in working with couples are:

Single trauma requires four to six 90-minute-long sessions. Complex trauma/ childhood trauma will require a longer commitment.  

In couples therapy, through coaching and psychoeducation, we'll tackle your challenges and enable personal growth to support your relationship's development. 

Couples therapy has many components: 

*assessment and goal setting, when we will take time to reflect on your relationship and identify the key areas you would like to address in therapy 

* identifying the developmental stage in a relationship where you are stuck, and the relationship type

* understanding how your history contributes to relationship problems today

*coaching in communication skills

* addressing differences and unresolved conflicts

*working through relational and individual trauma

About Me

I have a Master's in Therapeutic Counselling, and I am an accredited member of BACP, which means I work to the highest standards in my profession. I have experience working in the IAPT and charity sectors. Presently, I work with individuals and couples in the NHS as an oncology psychotherapist while maintaining a private practice.

I am originally from Latvia but have lived most of my life in the UK. I have worked in the NHS for 25 years in various roles, which enabled me to develop the ability to connect with people from all walks of life, develop empathy, and effectively oversee teams of people in my senior roles. As a midwife, I supported families through life-changing experiences of childbirth, trauma, and child loss.
