Trauma-Informed Therapy

Trauma can arise from many experiences — not only obvious crises, but also addiction, relational rupture, fertility challenges, sudden illness, hospitalisation or ongoing health anxiety. Even when an event has passed, the nervous system can remain on high alert.

I offer therapy within a trauma-informed framework, providing a safe and supportive space to explore difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Together, we work to understand emotional and physiological responses, process unresolved experiences where appropriate, and develop practical strategies for regulation and stability.

Where suitable, I integrate EMDR to support the processing of distressing memories that continue to feel intrusive or overwhelming.

The aim is not to revisit the past unnecessarily, but to help you feel steadier in the present — more resilient, more regulated, and more able to respond rather than react.

Addiction

You may be sober but still struggling — anxious, emotionally reactive, or stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. Or you may feel generally overwhelmed and unsure why certain difficulties keep repeating.

I currently provide structured outpatient therapy for individuals following residential treatment, supporting the transition from abstinence to emotional stability. Recovery is not only about stopping a behaviour — it is about understanding what drives it. I work relationally, helping you explore underlying patterns, unresolved trauma, and the emotional impact of past experiences. 

Couples Work

I offer structured work with couples through ‘From Conflict to Connection: A Structured Couples Programme’, a 6-8 session relationship programme. This approach integrates attachment informed principles alongside Emotionally Focused Therapy models to help partners improve communication and emotional regulation, understand relational patterns, and strengthen emotional connection. This programme focuses on skills-based relational development rather than specialist intensive couples therapy.
