My work is grounded in trauma-informed practice and informed by neuroscience. Trauma is not just an event, but an emotional and physical experience that can shape how the nervous system responds to the world. Whether it comes from a single experience or ongoing adversity, the body and mind often develop survival responses to protect you. While these responses are helpful in moments of danger, they can remain active long after the threat has passed, affecting how you feel and respond in everyday life.​

 

By integrating an understanding of the nervous system, therapy supports healing that prioritises safety, trust, and resilience while reducing the risk of re-traumatisation.​ Therapy is flexible and tailored to your needs. It may be short-term and focused, or longer-term, allowing space to explore more profound or long-standing patterns at your own pace.​

​
