Heal unseen, emotional wounds, release chronic stress and self-doubt, and create an abundant life of meaning, self-trust and lasting fulfilment, that aligns with who you truly are.
Don't let fear hold you back any longer, you deserve to be living your best life.
Eckhart Tolle
You feel as if you are somehow living half a life - an experience or relationship has negatively changed you in some way - leaving you feeling stuck, conflicted, or like a shadow of your former self.
Something is missing.
Stuck, emotional pain lives in our body, silently shaping our thoughts, emotions, our sense of who we are, and even impacting our physical health.
Your experiences may include one or more of the following:
As a trauma therapist, my approach goes beyond the limitations of traditional talk therapy. I focus on helping you gently release the invisible, emotional grip of the past, heal at a nervous system level, and reclaim your sense of identity and inner peace, helping you to feel more whole.
This isn’t just about managing symptoms; it’s about true, root-cause healing...it's never too late to heal.
Personalised therapy sessions designed for you — choose between 50 or 90 minutes to fit your needs and schedule.
You've navigated some difficult life experiences and now your focus is on this next phase of your life.
You have dreams and goals, you may even know the steps you need to take to bring these to life, but something keeps holding you back—fear, doubt, procrastination, or the same frustrating patterns repeating no matter how hard you try to change things.
You may have lost your spark, feel overwhelmed, and no matter how much mindset work you do, something deeper still keeps you stuck, heading towards burnout or the prospect of giving up on your dreams and goals if you don't take a different course of action.
That’s because this isn’t just a mindset issue.
These inner blocks are wired deep into your nervous system.
Signs of nervous system dysregulation include, but are not limited to:
Together, working somatically with your deep subconscious, we can help you to create sustainable change, not just find those surface level moments of momentum that we all know, simply don't last.
If you are forward-focused and you'd like to experience a nervous system reset to help you break through your inner blocks, reducing the risk of burnout, my somatic trauma-informed coaching packages could be transformational for you.
If you're unsure whether therapy or coaching would best suit you, keep reading for more information, or just send me a message and we can a book your free clarity call to help us decide
You’re deeply intuitive, heart-led and empathic, and you have spent years prioritising others—whether in relationships, family, or work—while losing touch with yourself.
Maybe you’ve endured painful relationships that left you questioning your worth. Perhaps you’re navigating a difficult life transition, feeling trapped in a career that drains you. Or you’re following your heart, trying to build something meaningful, with purpose, but keep hitting invisible walls of self-doubt, procrastination, or burnout.
This is not your fault.
Our brains are wired for safety, not happiness or success, and subconscious patterns can keep us stuck—no matter how much we logically want to move forward.
Whether you seek therapy for healing or coaching for momentum, we’ll work together to gently break through these blocks, release stress, rebuild confidence, and help you reclaim your identity—so you can finally create a life that feels truly yours.

My Story
I know how it feels to be stuck—to doubt yourself, to overthink every decision, and to be trapped in invisible patterns that feel like they are just who you are.
For years, I unknowingly struggled with the on-going impact of narcissistic abuse, which had eroded my sense of identity - leaving me feeling like a ghost in my own life.
Later, when I felt I was doing well in life, I found myself being subtly undermined in a professional role that no longer aligned with my heart, yet I just couldn’t seem to walk away.
Different situations, but the same patterns- including feeling powerless, thinking it must just be me, experiencing headache inducing cognitive dissonance as different parts of me were in conflict. It was like I was paralysed, unsure of how to move forward, yet at the same time, knowing the steps I needed to take to do so - such a confusing, almost impossible place to be!
Time does not heal trauma, and neither does trying to just think our way out.
Our nervous system needs to release what's become stuck in order for us to find true freedom - if not, unconscious patterns will just repeat as fearful parts of us unknowingly limit our life and opportunities in a desperate attempt to keep us safe - not realising that we already are.
Everything shifted when I discovered body-mind, nervous-system aligned work, especially the gentle power of Brainspotting. I was able to more deeply heal, including the unseen wounds that had left me vulnerable to such toxic relationships in the first place.
I've now created a life that I can best describe to you as feeling like I've come home to myself - a feeling I never realised could exist - we unconsciously normalise so much, just to get through.
I’m now absolutely passionate about helping others do the same - find their healing and aligned life. If you’re feeling stuck, know that with the right support for you, change is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.
I have the absolute privilege of helping others find their deep healing and reclaim their lives, and my extensive specialist trainings allow me to offer you some of the most effective ways to do this.
I integrate gentle, but powerful Brainspotting sessions into both my therapy and coaching work—a neuroscience-aligned approach that mindfully reaches the places that talking sessions alone cannot, releasing trauma, chronic stress and limiting beliefs stored deep in the body.
When combined with my holistic, evidence-based approach, together, we don't just help you to understand your past—we help you break free from it and step more fully into the life you want to create.
You don’t have to keep reliving the same patterns. Transformation really is possible, and I’m here to gently guide you through.
I established my private practice in 2007, and this has complimented my therapeutic career over the last 18+ years, including:
Informed by Neuroscience ~ Positive Psychology ~ Somatic Experiencing ~ Focusing-Oriented Therapy ~ Internal Family Systems (IFS) ~ Compassion Focused Therapy ~ Person-Centred Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD), Rewind Therapy (RT), and the Neuroexperiential model of Brainspotting, my compassionate approach is gentle, powerful, non-judgemental and deeply validating.

"... I felt listened to, heard and deeply understood, which I have not had much experience of in my life. I have found this experience very validating and confidence building...
...Our sessions have been life transforming for me, I feel like I have fast tracked out of many years living in a painful freeze state, not knowing how to move, where to move or what or who to trust..."
