Trauma is not just the 'big' events that happen in life. Trauma can also be caused by the things that didn't happen. You might not have even related the word 'trauma' to your own experiences, yet, you have found my page because you are struggling with feelings of anxiety, guilt or shame and relationships can often feel like hard work.

Relationships can often be complicated and messy, and that's without negative and traumatic experiences affecting how we think, feel and behave in them. Many people with past experiences that have either been neglectful, abusive or controlling often struggle with the complication on another level. 

My work with people starts with understanding the patterns that previous experiences have formed, what impact they still have on them and what is unhelpful about them. Difficult experiences can create an unhelpful cycle of thoughts, feelings and behavioural reactions. Once we have understood your individual cycles, we can then work together to find ways of creating healthier and more sustainable ones. 

I strongly believe that people have the power to reclaim their lives from the effects of trauma, live a more fulfilled life and feel more healthily connected to others.

As someone who has lived experience of this and years of professional training, I know that we cannot forget what happened, but we don't have to let the past dictate the rest of our future.

I am passionate about treating people as an individual, tailoring therapy to the person, not from the text book. If you spoke with one of my previous clients, they would tell you that I work directly around the core issues and that I am straight to the point but in a human and compassionate way.
