I am a pluralistically trained therapist & psychotherapist which allows me to use a variety of theories and techniques to support your needs. I am based in the UK, and I have three years of professional work experience. Most of my experience has been supporting clients who are living with trauma and adverse childhood experiences using a trauma-informed approach to therapy. I also have experience working with motivation, overwhelm, anxiety low self-esteem, and lack of confidence. I believe that you are the expert on your life and your story, and you already possess the inner strengths that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you - you may need reminding!
The first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I hope that I may be able to help you in this process. All are welcomed with open arms to a safe therapy space where you are invited to come as you are and however, you feel.
