SERVICES

Professional support for meaningful change.

Psychological therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe that emotional difficulties often develop in response to early life experiences, attachment patterns, and chronic stress — not personal weakness or failure. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to understand these experiences, heal emotional wounds, and build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

I integrate evidence-based therapies including Schema Therapy, EMDR, and DBT, tailoring treatment to each person’s needs. My focus is on creating emotional safety, deep understanding, and meaningful long-term change, not just short-term symptom relief.

How I Can Help

I support adults experiencing:

Complex trauma and developmental trauma
Emotional regulation difficulties
Anxiety and chronic stress
Depression and low self-worth
Relationship and attachment difficulties
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Long-standing emotional and behavioural patterns

Many of my clients are highly capable, driven, and compassionate people who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected inside. Therapy focuses on helping you feel safer within yourself, develop emotional balance, and create more fulfilling relationships.

My Therapeutic Approach

My work is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based, and evidence-based therapies. I integrate:

Schema Therapy – to understand and change long-standing emotional patterns
EMDR – to process traumatic and distressing memories
DBT strategies – to strengthen emotional regulation, coping skills, and resilience

Therapy is collaborative, gentle, and paced carefully. Together, we focus on emotional safety, insight, skill development, and deep healing — allowing meaningful and lasting change.

Schema Therapy

Schema Therapy is a compassionate and integrative approach that helps you understand and heal long-standing emotional patterns shaped by early life experiences and relationships. These patterns can influence how you feel about yourself, connect with others, and cope with stress or emotional pain.

By combining emotional, cognitive, and behavioural strategies, schema therapy supports emotional healing, self-compassion, and healthier ways of relating. It is particularly helpful for complex trauma, chronic anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy for processing trauma and distressing life experiences.

EMDR helps the brain safely reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or emotionally charged. Many people experience relief from emotional distress, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and physical tension, allowing them to move forward with greater emotional freedom and resilience.

EMDR can be helpful for both single-incident trauma and complex, developmental trauma.

DBT-Informed Therapy

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) focuses on building practical skills to manage emotions, tolerate distress, and improve relationships.

DBT-informed therapy supports:

Emotional regulation
Distress tolerance
Mindfulness
Interpersonal effectiveness

These skills are especially helpful for individuals who feel emotionally overwhelmed, reactive, or exhausted by intense feelings and interpersonal stress.

What to Expect in Therapy

Therapy offers a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your individual needs, goals, and emotional capacity.

My focus is on helping you:

Feel emotionally safe and supported
Develop insight and understanding
Heal past emotional wounds
Build practical tools for everyday life
Create meaningful, lasting change

FAQs

Do I need to have a diagnosis to start therapy?

No. Many people seek therapy due to emotional distress, relationship difficulties, trauma, or feeling stuck — not necessarily because of a diagnosis.

How long does therapy last?

This varies depending on your needs and goals. Some people attend short-term therapy, while others benefit from longer-term support, especially when working with complex trauma or long-standing patterns.

Is trauma therapy intense?

Therapy is paced carefully and collaboratively. Emotional safety and stability always come first.
