Services

I work with individuals navigating the impact of trauma, emotional overwhelm, and recurring relational patterns, as well as those seeking forward-focused growth and clarity.

My work is grounded in psychological understanding, nervous system awareness, and ethical practice.

Psychotherapy - Trauma Focused

Trauma focused psychotherapy offers a supportive and structured space to explore the emotional impact of past and present experiences. Trauma is not only about what happened, but how those experiences continue to live in the body, nervous system, and relationships.

​

This work can include:

• Supportive counselling for anxiety, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, or life transitions
• Exploration of attachment patterns and emotional responses
• Stabilisation and nervous system regulation
• Trauma processing where appropriate, including EMDR or Rewind Trauma Therapy

​

Not every client requires structured trauma processing. For some, a consistent, reflective therapeutic space is enough to create meaningful change. For others, deeper trauma work may become appropriate over time.

​

We will move at a pace that feels safe and manageable, regularly reviewing your needs to ensure the approach remains aligned.

Psychotherapy

Therapeutic Coaching

For individuals who feel relatively emotionally stable but notice recurring patterns influencing their direction, relationships, or goals.

​

Therapeutic coaching integrates psychological insight with forward movement. It is not trauma processing or clinical therapy, but it does not bypass emotional awareness in favour of productivity.

This may be appropriate if:

​

  • You have previously engaged in therapy and feel ready to focus on growth

  • You recognise old beliefs or relational themes affecting your goals

  • You want structured reflection alongside practical direction

 

Available as one-off or ongoing sessions in various formats.

Therapuetic Counselling

Life Coaching

Future-focused and goal-oriented support. We would typically meet for a minimum of 6 sessions focused on working towards a specific goal/goals. 

​

Life coaching is suited to individuals who feel emotionally stable and are seeking clarity, accountability, or direction in a specific area of life such as career, confidence, or personal development.

​

Coaching sessions focus on:

​

  • Goal setting

  • Structure and accountability

  • Confidence building

  • Practical next steps

 

This is not therapy and does not involve trauma processing.

Life Coaching

Rewind Trauma Therapy

Rewind Trauma Therapy is a highly effective approach designed to help trauma survivors struggling with distressing flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts.

​

Unlike traditional methods, this technique does not require you to talk about the traumatic event itself. Instead, it works by helping the brain reprocess the memory, reducing emotional triggers and lessening the intensity of distressing responses.

​

Most people experience noticeable effects after just 2–3 sessions, making it a fast-acting and transformative approach. Many find that Rewind Trauma Therapy provides enough relief from involuntary recall to engage in regular talk therapy without fear of retraumatisation.

EMDR

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured approach that supports the brain in processing past distressing experiences that may still be affecting you in the present. It’s often used to help with trauma, anxiety, and patterns that feel hard to shift.

 

In EMDR we use bilateral stimulation, often through eye movements, taps, or sounds, which helps the brain reprocess and store distressing or maladaptively stored information in a more adaptive and integrated way. To learn more about EMDR, click here.

​

I am currently completing my EMDR training, having successfully completed Parts 1 and 2 through an EMDR Europe-accredited program. I offer EMDR sessions under regular clinical supervision, and work with appropriate care to ensure safety and suitability.
