With over two years of experience in a trauma-focused counselling service, I provided counselling to survivors of sexual and domestic abuse. Additionally, my therapeutic experience includes work in bereavement services, university student counselling, peri/postnatal support for mothers, and with individuals in the Arts and inner-city business sectors. Facilitation of support groups has also included those navigating symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and conditions such as body dysmorphia.
As an Anxiety UK Approved Therapist offering EMDR, I work with clients facing anxiety, stress and panic attacks. Additionally, offering EMDR to manage phobias, post-traumatic stress, grief, depression, and dissociative responses to trauma. Completed and ongoing professional development studies in specialist trauma training continues to inform my practice.
I am committed to affirmatively supporting all clients, including those identifying as disabled and neurodiverse whether self-recognized or diagnosed. I wholeheartedly welcome gender-diverse or questioning clients and embrace trans and non-binary experiences.
