Philosophy & Vision

I believe that it is the quality of our relationships which influences the quality of our lives. Together we can heal ruptures, learn attunement skills and improve our communication with our partner, our children and our colleagues.

My couple's counselling uses Gottman principles and attachment theory to help couples understand their attachment style and be able to connect more fully emotionally with their partner.

I am highly skilled in trauma counselling and have also worked in community settings with a wide range of clients with complex needs, including maladaptations like addiction, despair and trauma.

I have a special interest in inner child work and helping to heal the wounds inflicted in dysfunctional families. You deserve to live a life in alignment with your values and strengths. You can be a cycle breaker.

I look forward to working with you therapeutically from a place of no judgement,

Background

I have worked as a trauma counsellor, a couple's counsellor and a school counsellor.

I have specialised trauma training with the Blue Knot Foundation and understand how events can cascade after a crisis. I can help you put the pieces back together.

I have worked as a school counsellor supporting young people using play therapy and mindfulness techniques to help them learn to self-regulate. Emotional regulation is at the core of being able to learn well at school and make friends. Strong peer relationships are very protective for young people. Many of the young people I worked with were experiencing anxiety induced behaviours like school refusal, poor sleep and overwhelm. I have specialised training in anxiety and exposure therapy.
