About me 

​

As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, I have worked in various settings, including Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) schools, Women’s Aid, and refuges, where I support survivors of domestic abuse and trauma. I provide face-to-face sessions with adults and have experience in online therapy, allowing for flexible engagement with clients. My practice encompasses a wide age range, supporting individuals from age 5 years old to seniors, and I address diverse developmental needs and life experiences. My approach is centered around creating a safe and empathetic environment, empowering clients to navigate their challenges and promote healing and growth.
