Research shows that around 70% of people will experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime, and its effects can last long after the event has passed.

Specialising in Trauma

Trauma can affect anyone, at any time. It may come from a single event, repeated experiences, or growing up in challenging circumstances. Its effects often linger, shaping how we feel, think, and respond.
 

I work in a trauma-informed way, supporting you to process difficult experiences safely. This approach focuses on thoughts, emotions, and body sensations, helping you feel calmer and more grounded.
 

Trauma can show up in many ways. You might feel anxious or on edge, struggle with trust, carry guilt or shame, find it hard to manage emotions, or notice patterns that don’t feel helpful. My work is about helping you reconnect with yourself, process experiences safely, and begin to feel more resilient and at ease.
 

I work with a wide range of trauma experiences, including:
 

  • Childhood or developmental trauma

  • Abuse or neglect

  • Sexual trauma

  • Experiences of violence or exploitation

  • Loss, bereavement, or sudden life events

  • Complex or ongoing trauma

  • Emotional triggers that feel hard to manage
     

I bring specialist training in trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR. EMDR is one way to process distressing experiences and reduce their emotional impact, alongside talking therapy or other approaches, depending on what feels right for you.

 

Above all, I aim to create a space where you can feel safe, supported, and able to process at your own pace.
