How I work

My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and parts-informed drawing on evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and nervous system informed work.

I also work with the mind–body connection and nervous system regulation, recognising that emotional experiences are not only understood cognitively, but are also held and processed within the body over time. Therapy may include mindfulness-informed and body-based approaches that support greater awareness of emotional needs, internal signals, and patterns of regulation and protection.

Together, we explore the patterns, emotional responses, protective strategies, and different parts of the self that have developed — often for understandable reasons — but may now feel limiting, exhausting, or disconnected from the life you want to live.

Rather than trying to “fix” these responses, therapy focuses on building understanding, self-awareness, emotional flexibility, and a more secure internal foundation.

My work is also informed by ongoing study in systemic and relational approaches, including constellation-informed thinking, which can support a broader understanding of family, relationship, and intergenerational patterns.

This work supports:

• greater clarity and self-trust

• flexibility in relationships

• the capacity to move toward what matters, even in the presence of fear, uncertainty, or doubt
