About me
Are you a woman in your 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s? Is it time for you to find time for you? You may be wanting support for family conflict, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, overwhelm, exhaustion, grief, menopause, divorce, relationship or work issues. Maybe, you need a calm, safe space to explore who you are now. Perhaps, with self-compassion, you are ready to explore the impact of childhood trauma. I am an empathetic older psychologist with a lived experience of trauma. I have extensive experience and expertise in women’s mental health & wellbeing and further clinical training in trauma. Whatever your unique needs, I am here for you.
To support your journey, within a safe relationship, I adopt evidence-based therapy including; Schema Therapy to understand the impact of your past on your present; Compassion Focused Therapy to target inner shame and self-criticism and to regulate your threat system; DBT for building effective skills; and EMDR to process stuck, triggering traumatic memories.
My hope is to help you develop a calmer, core sense of self and to gain the skills to sustain the changes you make. As a sole practitioner I choose to plan my day to offer unrushed time and presence. The first step of therapy is to reach out. I will be there to ensure you feel valued and supported.
