Trauma therapy

It feels important to say here, that you never need to tell me what happened. We don’t ever need to go there, if you don’t want to.

 

A lot of the work I do with trauma is about resourcing you and building your capacity to tolerate the difficult stuff. I’ll help you notice and uncover your strengths. You’ve come this far – you just might need my support as you take stock and figure out where to go from here.

​

If you've reached a stage where you do need to "go there" in order to process what's left for you, I can support you to do that safely.

 

Part of the work I love most is seeing clients grow and flourish, no matter what was going on for them when they first arrived.

 

​My experience in trauma work

 

I’ve undertaken a lot of additional training over the years as post-traumatic growth is – and I know this sounds very counsellory (eye roll) – something I’m really passionate about. Some of my trainings are listed below, enabling me to work in a trauma-informed way, and I currently see clients in a charity supporting people who’ve experienced domestic abuse and sexual violence alongside my private practice. I've also worked with many clients who’ve experienced childhood abuse in its various forms: sexual, physical and emotional.
