Trauma and Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety can feel overwhelming—like you're constantly bracing for something to go wrong, even when nothing is. Often, these experiences are deeply rooted in earlier trauma or prolonged stress, especially from challenging or unsafe relationships in childhood. Whether it’s physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, or neglect, these early experiences can shape how we relate to ourselves and others in the present.

I offer a relational and somatic approach to therapy, which means we’ll work not only with thoughts and emotions, but also with how trauma and anxiety show up in your body. Our sessions become a space where you can begin to feel safe enough to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and make sense of what’s been overwhelming. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in connection.

If this resonates with you, you’re warmly invited to reach out. Together, we can begin the process of helping you feel more grounded, supported, and at ease.

Specialist Support for Complex Trauma and Dissociation

I specialise in working with people whose difficulties stem from early relational trauma—particularly those who have experienced childhood abuse or neglect. This includes support for individuals who have survived physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, or who grew up in environments that felt unsafe, invalidating, or chaotic.

I also have a particular interest and experience in working with dissociation, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD)—sometimes referred to as partial DID. OSDD is a lesser-known but more common form of complex dissociative disorder, where individuals may experience different identity states or parts, without the more distinct separations or amnesia that typically characterise DID. If you're living with dissociation, you may feel confused, disconnected, or like parts of you are in conflict. Therapy can help you build a compassionate understanding of your internal experience and support integration at a pace that feels safe.

Inclusive and Accessible Therapy

I am committed to offering a therapy space that is inclusive, trauma-informed, and accessible. I have extensive experience working with disabled people, including those navigating physical and sensory impairments, chronic illness, pain conditions, and fatigue-related disorders. I also work with individuals experiencing complex trauma alongside psychosis or other serious mental health conditions.

My practice is neurodivergent-affirming, and I support clients with Autism, ADHD, developmental coordination disorder (Dyspraxia), Dyslexia, and other forms of neurodivergence. Therapy is always tailored to you—there is no ‘right’ way to show up.

Support with Family Estrangement

Family relationships can be a profound source of pain—especially when they have been marked by abuse, control, or emotional neglect. I work with people who are navigating the grief, guilt, or relief that may come with family estrangement or are considering creating distance from family relationships that have become harmful or unsustainable.

Therapy can help you explore your experience with compassion and clarity, supporting you to make choices that honour your wellbeing.

Therapists and Helping Professionals Welcome

I warmly welcome therapists—whether experienced or in training—as well as professionals working in health and social care. If you're looking for a space to reflect, make sense of your own history, or simply be supported in your own emotional work, I offer a confidential and collaborative environment.
