About me
I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, neurofeedback practitioner, and registered nurse with over ten years of experience in bereavement care and counselling, alongside a long-standing background in oncology, palliative, and community nursing.
I offer a warm, trauma-informed, and collaborative therapeutic space, tailoring our work to your individual needs and pace. My practice draws on person-centred therapy, compassion-focused approaches, EMDR-informed trauma work, and EFT tapping, alongside advanced nervous system regulation strategies such as biofeedback and neurofeedback.
I support adults navigating trauma and PTSD, grief and bereavement, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, health-related challenges, and significant life transitions.
Together, we work towards clear and meaningful goals, whether that involves reducing distress, improving emotional regulation, strengthening coping strategies, or restoring a greater sense of stability and confidence.
By combining relational depth with practical, real-world strategies, I help clients understand the patterns that may be maintaining distress, while building the self-compassion and resilience needed for lasting change.
My approach is both compassionate and well structured, making it well suited to focused short- to medium-term therapy, while still allowing space for deeper integrative work where appropriate.
I look forward to supporting you as you begin this process.

My outcomes
Outcomes (self-reported)
In my private practice, I routinely gather client-reported outcomes and feedback to ensure therapy is effective and aligned with each individual’s goals. This includes progress monitoring through structured self-report measures, session feedback, and reflective questionnaires.
Clients consistently report significant improvements in emotional regulation, trauma resolution, and the management of grief, alongside a marked reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms.
Client satisfaction remains high, and this ongoing feedback is used to continually inform and tailor therapy to meet each person’s unique needs.
