Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
In my 6 years working as a therapist and mental health professional, I’ve supported many people who are carrying the weight of abuse, trauma, rape, grooming and other challenging life experiences. I help people work through the aftermath of sexual assault, domestic abuse, childhood neglect, or other painful situations, which can mean finding ways to cope with grief, loss, loneliness, eating disorders, parenthood, or the impact of a new diagnosis such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, or PTSD.
My work with university students has shown me how important it is to have someone alongside you when life feels overwhelming or confusing. Together, we explore challenges that continue to affect daily life, build coping strategies, and make sense of experiences in a safe and non-judgmental space.
Beyond trauma, I help clients face issues around identity and belonging. In 2023, I delivered a workshop called “The Complexity of Skin Colour”. Since then, I have worked with people dealing with racism in the workplace, parents navigating conversations with their children, and those who want practical tools and resources to build resilience while addressing everyday microaggressions.
I also volunteer with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy, where I support people living with or recovering from domestic abuse, childhood trauma, or sexual violence. My 1-2-1 sessions can also involve navigating the impact of court proceedings or the complexities of motherhood, abortion, or miscarriage.
I use my background in coaching, personal training and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to help people who are struggling with food or their body image move towards a healthier relationship with themselves. My 12-week reflective booklet is a proactive tool that works alongside therapy to help reshape people’s views on food and give them a positive body image.
Couples often come to me when they want to strengthen their relationship. I teach them how to rebuild intimacy, create deeper emotional connections, manage cultural differences, and make decisions about family life. I also support couples working through betrayals, resentments, or the aftermath of difficult experiences such as miscarriages or traumatic births. Whether the focus is on growing stronger together or exploring what it means if you have grown apart, my role is to guide you towards clarity and connection.
At the heart of all my work is the belief that healing is possible. Trauma often feels like a jigsaw puzzle, with pieces scattered and unclear. My role is to stand beside you while you make sense of those pieces, offering steady support, coping mechanisms, and emotional strategies as you find your way forward.
Worried we might not be a good fit?
The best way to know if this feels right for you is to experience a session and see if my approach meets your needs.
We all need someone to lean on sometimes.
Let me be your pillar to lean on while we work together to navigate your traumas, worries, and fears and build you a better future.
