She brings a warm and compassionate approach to therapy with the aim creating a calm space to ensure you feel at ease. Her emphasis is on emotional healing – however that looks to the most authentic version of you. This may include helping you to understand your thoughts and feelings, supporting you to handle challenges, and exploring the experiences that made you who you are today.
She has experience using a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailed to challenges adolescents and adults may face, including:
· Trauma-informed care, trauma-focussed treatment, trauma recovery from the triphasic model

“People are just wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, ‘Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.’ I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”
— Carl Rogers, Psychologist and Researcher, Client-Centred Therapy
