Searching for Answers
After an extremely challenging childhood, I knew as an adult that I had to try to make things better for myself. I had multiple therapists over a decade and a half, but not much seemed to help my anxiety and confusion.
I decided to train in counselling myself to find answers, and it was during my Counselling training course with the Gestalt Centre in London that it became clear I had Complex PTSD. Years of my own counselling with some very kind therapists, but not very effective therapy, had not given me this vital information, and so many things suddenly made sense and fell into place for me.
A Passion for Effective Therapy
Complex PTSD requires a very specific approach, and going over and over the past trying to find answers can actually be re-traumatising in many instances. I became determined to study the best and most effective elements of all of the therapies I had experienced to create my own bespoke mix to provide truly effective help for people who are traumatised or dysregulated. If you work with me, we may refer to the past, but the focus will be on how you are feeling and functioning in the 'here and now'.
I use a mix of creative approaches, always tailored to you as an individual. My goal is to empower you, as quickly as possible with the skills to self-regulate without me. You can see more about this on my 'Working With Me' page.
​
As well as trauma focused therapy, another treatment that had greatly eased my trauma was hypnosis. As well as my counselling training I have also completed hypnotherapy training to an advanced level. I mix this with my counselling skills to provide a mix that is both soothing to clients, and effective in embedding our other therapeutic work.
​
I am fully insured, and committed to my continuing professional development – learning is a lifelong passion for me. I am always studying and reading the latest literature in the field of trauma, psychotherapy and somatic work.
I have a strong focus
on psychoeducation
for all of my clients.
It's vital that along with cultivating a feeling of safety, that we help you to get your bearings and understand the 'how and why' of where you are at. This can be extremely grounding and reassuring.
