My typical weekly schedule is Monday-Fiday between 9.00 am-7.30 pm. I  currently have availabilities, so do not hesitate to contact me should you want some information about how I can help you. 

If complex trauma has left you feeling frozen, disconnected from your body, or overwhelmed by survival responses — you're not alone, and gentle, embodied healing is within reach.

As a somatic integrative psychologist and certified complex trauma specialist (MBACP), I specialise in helping survivors reclaim safety, agency, and wholeness through the body's innate wisdom. 

Trauma often lingers in the nervous system as chronic tension, dissociation, hypervigilance, or exhaustion. My approach works directly with these patterns using somatic awareness, nervous system regulation (polyvagal-informed), titration, and pendulation — creating space to release held survival energy without forcing painful memories.

Integrating somatic practices with Jungian depth psychology (exploring archetypes symbolically in the body), existential reflections (navigating meaning amid suffering), and creative expression (abstract art as a gentle portal), I offer a non-pathologising, collaborative path. 

Sessions are paced to your window of tolerance, building resources first before gently exploring sensations and symbolic layers. 

I work with adults seeking depth-oriented, embodied recovery from developmental/relational trauma, betrayal, dissociation, or chronic overwhelm. 

After working with me, clients report feeling lighter and more grounded. They gain deeper self-understanding , aquire tools to manage overwhelming emotions, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with a sense of trust and agency in their lives. Many also describe shifting from feeling stuck or self-critical to feeling more confident, resilient, and kinder to themselves-even on tough days. 

If you feel ready to feel differently and move towards the life you want, I would be priviledged to walk alongside you. Lets start wherever you are.

Therapy is available online (UK-wide), with flexible scheduling.

A free initial 15-minute consultation is offered to explore if we're a good fit — no pressure, just a compassionate conversation.

I offer both short-term and long-term online counseling sessions which typically last 50 minutes each. I have experience in working on different online modalities such as live video, text, and telephone. 

I offer a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental environment in which you are invited to discuss your concerns as openly as possible.  

I apply a life course approach to my work to enable me to acquire a more detailed picture of your developmental history. 

At the start of my first session with you, I establish a therapeutic contract that details what to expect from working together. It also sets out the confidentiality issues and limitations. 

Then, we collaboratively set achievable and manageable goals to identify the issues that you struggle with the most. 

I may also carry out assessment tools when appropriate and in accordance with your presenting difficulties and goals.
