I specialise in trauma recovery and healing from abuse (sexual/narcissistic/emotional/parental etc) using trauma-informed approaches tailored to your individual needs. I offer weekly face to face or online video sessions. I will usually work with you on a longer term basis due to the nature of trauma therapy. I often have clients who experience difficult feelings due to not being "fixed" within six sessions offered elsewhere.You may come to therapy because someone or some people has hurt you. The idea of the therapy is that working with another person helps to heal that wound. I am also not the kind of therapist that says simply sits, nods and asks "how do you feel about that". I am an active participant in the process and will self-disclose if you need or want me to.Primarily I am a collaborative relational integrative therapist.  This means I draw on a range of therapy approaches and theories but take a very human approach.  I work within a three-phase trauma model (please see below for further information) and I believe it is important for you to have an opportunity to choose what we do in sessions and to understand why we might do something (Context, Collaboration and Choice). It can be challenging work and I do ask that clients be prepared for this. I will regularly check in with you to see how the therapy is going and whether it is meeting your needs.I am trained in a range of therapeutic approaches and continually undertake CPD. I already hold a certificate for working safely with trauma. I am currently undertaking further Certification in Trauma and also in How The Body Keeps The Score. I have undertaken various professional development courses in Narcissistic Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Trauma, and Shame.
