Therapy
A space to understand what is happening beneath the surface
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes something has happened. Sometimes a relationship has become painful or confusing. And sometimes there is simply a sense that the same feelings, reactions or patterns keep returning.
My approach is not simply about reducing symptoms. Together, we can explore what your experiences may be communicating — including the influence of past relationships, attachment, trauma, protective responses and the nervous system.
Therapy can offer a space to understand these patterns with curiosity, while developing different ways of relating to yourself, others and what has happened to you.
How I work
How I Work
I work integratively, drawing from psychodynamic, humanistic, somatic and relational approaches.
This means we can work with both the story of what has happened and what may be happening in the present — in your relationships, emotions, body and nervous system.
My work is trauma-informed and paced carefully. We may explore attachment and relational patterns, protective responses, earlier experiences, parts of self, bodily responses and the meaning you have made from what you have lived through.
There is no single way that therapy has to look. We work collaboratively, finding an approach that fits you.
Areas I work with
Trauma & complex trauma
Attachment & relational patterns
Anxiety & emotional overwhelm
Relationship difficulties
Domestic abuse & coercive relationships
Betrayal & relational trauma
Grief & loss
Intergenerational trauma
Self-worth, shame & identity
Life transitions & change
Nervous-system dysregulation
Parts work & protective responses
Relationship Therapy
Relationship Therapy
Relationship therapy offers a space to understand not only what you are arguing about, but what may be happening underneath the conflict.
Together we can explore communication, attachment patterns, emotional safety, recurring cycles, intimacy, rupture and repair, and the ways previous experiences can become activated within present relationships.
The aim isn't to decide who is right or wrong, but to understand the relational pattern that has developed between you and whether something different can be created.
Trauma & the Nervous System
Trauma doesn't only exist in the story of what happened. It can also influence how the body learns to anticipate threat, connection, rejection and safety.
Then you can briefly introduce fight/flight/freeze/fawn, somatic work and your stabilisation → processing → reconnection philosophy.
That gives prospective trauma clients a sense of how you understand trauma, rather than simply listing PTSD symptoms.
Clinical Supervision
I offer reflective, trauma-informed clinical supervision for counsellors and therapists, providing space to think beyond case management and explore what may be happening within the therapeutic relationship.
Supervision may include reflection on attachment and relational patterns, countertransference, nervous-system responses, boundaries, emotional carrying, therapeutic rupture and the impact of the work on the practitioner.
My approach is collaborative and reflective, supporting both safe clinical practice and the development of the therapist themselves.
