About me and my therapy practice
I'm a Domestic Violence Therapist. I support survivors to understand and process the emotional and psychological symptoms so that you live your life feeling safe in your own skin, gain peace and joy in everyday moments and trust yourself and others again.
You may be experiencing a wide range of emotions and physical symptoms, but you’re not alone, and it is possible to live a different life.
Do you feel like your self-esteem has been shattered, perhaps feeling like you’re not worthy or blaming yourself for what happened?
Are flashbacks, nightmares, or overwhelming thoughts about the abuse still haunting you, keeping you hyper-vigilant and on edge so making it hard to move forward?
Is it difficult for you to trust others, or even trust your own judgment after everything you’ve been through?
Relationships may be difficult for you now, even with people who care about you. You may find yourself struggling to manage your emotions, maybe feeling overwhelmed, angry, or easily triggered. You may also not trust your own judgment, let alone others.
You may be experiencing physical symptoms like feeling drained, exhausted, due to the constant stress.
I want you to know that these symptoms are a natural response to what you’ve experienced.
It’s not a reflection of who you are—it’s the toll that the abuse has taken on you.
You can heal, I see this every day with my clients, and I can help you on your journey too.
The first step is knowing that your feelings are real and valid and that you deserve support and a path toward peace, confidence, and trust again.
You can stop thinking negatively about yourself or your situation and finally recognise you deserve better.
Life can feel peaceful again. No more struggling with feelings of sadness, and hopelessness. Gain your motivation back for life and feel in control again.
From needing to isolate yourself, to enjoying time spent with friends, family, or social activities because your shame or fear is now manageable and a distant memory.
Practice description
Creative Art Counseling
Have you ever felt that art can express what words sometimes can’t? Through creative expression, you can gain insights into your emotions and develop emotional resilience. Imagine using art not just to express yourself but also to explore and reshape your personal narrative. How would it feel to reconstruct your story in a way that empowers you?
Life Coaching
As your life coach, I believe in the transformative power of building a vision for what lies ahead. What goals do you dream of achieving? Together, we can set those goals and craft a clear pathway toward them focusing on propelling you forward. What exciting possibilities do you see waiting for you?
Parental Mental Health
If you are a parent managing mental health challenges, it’s entirely possible to care for your children while navigating these difficulties. Can you imagine how prioritizing your self-care can positively impact your children’s lives? Finding the right support system can make all the difference. What steps have you considered to take care of yourself?
Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA/IPV)
If you’ve experienced domestic violence or intimate partner violence, seeking help might feel overwhelming. Healing is a gradual process, and it’s okay to recognize that emotional wounds can persist even after you’ve left an abusive situation. Have you thought about what support you need to start feeling safe again? Together, we can create a safe space to address trauma, fear, and self-doubt, helping you move toward healing at your own pace.
Bereavement
Navigating a loss is such a deeply personal journey, sometimes overwhelming. Have you allowed yourself the space to fully feel that loss? Whether it’s the death of someone close, the end of a job, or changes in relationships, those feelings deserve acknowledgment. How can we honor your grief and make sense of your new reality together?
My first session
It's crucial to reach out to someone who can empathize with your experiences and provide the support you need.
I'm here to support you in rediscovering who you are and guide you through the healing process.
My therapeutic approach focuses on active listening and creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself and feel truly understood. I believe in establishing trust as the foundation for our therapeutic relationship, allowing us to process challenging emotions and experiences together.
I promote a collaborative and tailored approach, starting with a complimentary 15-minute introductory call to discuss your needs openly and determine if we're the right fit for this journey. Following that, we'll proceed with a 30-minute assessment session where we'll fill out an on-boarding questionnaire via an online call.
Whether you're dealing with immediate challenges or looking to address deeper issues, I offer both time-limited and open-ended therapy options. During our assessment, we'll explore the level of support that aligns best with your needs. If we decide to work together, we can schedule weekly or bi-weekly starting at 50-minute sessions to support your growth and healing.
Session hourly fees are from £50 with some lower fee places for students, low-income or unemployed. I have some evening spaces available. Couples Therapy from £100 sessions from 60 minutes.
