Psychotherapy & Trauma Work
Sometimes the difficulty is hard to name. That's where we begin.
-
It can appear as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, panic, or exhaustion, a growing sense that life has become harder to hold together than it used to be.
-
At other times, things look fine from the outside while something more painful continues underneath: recurring relationship patterns, persistent self-criticism, emotional disconnection, or the quiet exhaustion of never quite being able to relax.
-
Many people who seek therapy are functioning well, capable, thoughtful, responsible in their work and relationships, while privately carrying significant strain. The gap between how they appear and how they feel can itself become its own source of loneliness.
Therapy offers space to slow these patterns down, and begin understanding them from inside.
Rather than focusing solely on managing symptoms, therapy can explore the emotional, relational, and nervous-system dynamics that sustain difficulty over time, working not just cognitively, but at the level of emotional and neurological processing. I specialise in working with trauma, anxiety, and relationship patterns that have deep roots, often connected to early experiences and held somewhere below the level of conscious awareness.
My approach draws on a range of established, evidence-informed methods, including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems and Parts Work, Somatic Experiencing and mind-body approaches, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness, integrated within a relational, trauma-informed framework. Each session is shaped around you: your history, your nervous system, and what feels most useful at any given point.
Areas of focus.
A space to understand, and begin to change.
Therapy can help you move from simply coping, to feeling more connected, steady, and able to respond to life from a place of choice rather than survival.
You don't have to keep holding this alone.
If you're ready to begin, I'd be happy to hear from you.
