Many people arrive at therapy carrying experiences they haven't had words for, or that they've been managing quietly for a long time. Trauma often shows up as a persistent sense that something is off - in relationships, in the body, in the way certain situations land harder than they seem like they should.

I work with people navigating single-incident trauma, complex and relational trauma, and childhood adversity. EMDR is central to how I approach this work, alongside somatic and trauma-informed frameworks that attend to what the body holds as much as what the mind remembers. For many people, EMDR offers a way through material that talk therapy alone hasn't been able to shift.

Anxiety can show up as worry, avoidance, physical symptoms, perfectionism, or a persistent sense of being behind or not enough. Chronic stress - the kind that accumulates over time rather than arriving as a single event - has its own particular texture and deserves its own particular attention.

I work with people navigating anxiety in its many forms, including health anxiety, social anxiety, generalised worry, and the chronic stress that comes from sustained pressure without adequate rest or support.

Difficult relationships with food and the body are often about safety, control, worth, and the ways we've learned to manage what feels unmanageable.

I work with a range of eating concerns and body image difficulties from disordered eating patterns to more entrenched presentations. I use a CBT-E approach that is trauma-informed and collaborative.

Where trauma and eating concerns frequently overlap, EMDR can be a meaningful part of that work.

Depression can look like flatness, disconnection, exhaustion, or a slow withdrawal from the things that used to matter. It can coexist with a life that looks fine from the outside, which can make it harder to take seriously.

I work with people experiencing depression across a range of presentations, with an approach that attends to both the psychological and the embodied aspects of low mood.

This one often shows up as perfectionism, people pleasing, a chronic sense of not quite being enough, or the exhaustion of functioning well externally while something quieter underneath feels unsteady.

I work with people navigating low self worth, shame, and identity questions including those that arise at the intersection of culture, family, and belonging.

EMDR and Schema Therapy are well suited to the early relational experiences that often underlie these patterns.

I have a growing interest in supporting people through the perinatal period - pregnancy through to the early years of parenting - including with anxiety, depression, birth related experiences, and the quieter identity shifts that don't always have a name.

This is an area I am actively developing within my practice. If you are navigating something in this space and wondering whether I might be a good fit, feel free to reach out.
