Compassionate Support for Healing and Growth

Welcome to my practice, where you'll find a safe, nurturing space to explore your story. As a trauma-informed, person-centred therapist, I specialise in working with children, young people, and adults who have experienced early life trauma. I'm also passionate about working with individuals who are neurodivergent, and I'm committed to providing a supportive and understanding environment.

I believe in empowering you to take control of your healing journey, using a relational approach that prioritises your unique needs and preferences. Together, we'll work collaboratively to:

- Build trust and understanding

- Process challenging experiences

- Develop coping strategies

- Foster resilience and growth

My approach is flexible and adaptable, incorporating creative strategies, psycho-education, and open-ended conversations. You'll work at your own pace, with autonomy and choice at the forefront of our sessions.

I welcome individuals, children, and families seeking a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore their experiences. Let's work together to create a brighter, more hopeful future.

- Childhood trauma and attachment

- Trauma and brain development

- Relationships and communication

- Supporting neurodivergent individuals (including Autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental differences)

Approach:
