Areas of focus

How I can help you

Hover over each area to explore what we might work on together.
I combine a number of psychotherapy, trauma-informed and Emotionally-Focused approaches to support you with:

Relationships

Do similar conflicts keep surfacing and you come away feeling disconnected from yourself and/or others?

Relationship Work

  • Conflict and communication
  • Codependency and avoidance
  • Intimacy and connection
  • Boundaries and patterns
  • Dating and attachment
  • Separation and break-ups

Emotional Dysregulation

Do your feelings feel bigger than you can hold, disproportionate to the situation, and you don't know where to start?

Emotional Processing

  • Depression and low mood
  • Generalised, health and/or social anxiety
  • Anger and reactivity
  • Guilt and shame
  • Stress, overwhelm & panic attacks
  • Dissociation and shutdown

Trauma

Something happened, and a part of you is still living there.

Trauma Processing

  • Complex and developmental trauma
  • Abuse
  • Sexual assault and rape
  • Acute trauma

Identity & Self-Worth

Who are you beneath your conditioning? Beneath the roles, the masks, and others' expectations?

Self-(Re)Discovery

  • Who am I and what do I need?
  • Self-worth, imposter syndrome and inner critic
  • Cultural and societal pressures
  • People pleasing and being "good"
  • Building self-compassion

Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it doesn't have to.
