Online Trauma Therapy - UK
Hi, I’m really glad you’re here.
I started my private therapy practice in Dorchester, Dorset back in 2007, and these days I work fully online with people all across the UK.
Over the past 19+ years as a therapist and coach, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through some of life’s toughest moments - times of pain, loss, confusion, and change. What I’ve learned, time and time again, is that healing is possible - and it can completely transform how you experience yourself and your life.
A big turning point in my own work came when I discovered Brainspotting. Experiencing it personally was profound - it helped me access and release things I hadn’t even realised I was holding. From that moment, I knew it needed to be at the centre of what I do. It’s a gentle but powerful approach that helps people process deep, often unseen wounds, and find real peace and freedom.
My style is calm, compassionate, and down-to-earth. I don’t believe in rushing the process or pushing you to go somewhere you’re not ready to go. Instead, I aim to create a space where you can feel safe, supported, and able to reconnect with your own inner wisdom - because that’s where true healing comes from.
Ultimately, this is your journey. My role is simply to walk alongside you - steady, supportive, and respectful of your unique pace - every step of the way.
I know from personal experience how deeply life’s challenges can affect us - how pain, confusion, and loneliness can take both a physical and emotional toll. Like most of us, I’ve experienced trauma, including narcissistic abuse, and I live with a chronic health condition. I understand the complex relationship we can have with ourselves, our bodies, diagnoses, and the healing process.
The instinct to do it all alone can be strong - not least because shame often tells us we should - but healing isn’t meant to be solitary. Your unseen wounds are nothing to be ashamed of, we all have them. They are not your fault, and you deserve to experience your deep healing, and what that means for you and your life.
I’m a dancer, dreamer, doodler, and deep thinker - intuitive and empathic by nature. In the past, I never thought of myself as creative, but therapy has shown me how deeply creative we all are. Working with Brainspotting and somatic approaches is profoundly creative, connecting us to parts of ourselves we may not even be aware of.
I love sunsets and expansive views, especially by the sea on a crisp, blustery day. I’m inspired by good books, films that linger long after the credits roll, and the simple joy of dancing in my living room. There was a time when I had no idea what I loved, having wandered so far from myself that joy felt out of reach. Being able to name and share these things with you now is one of the most rewarding parts of my own healing journey.
