Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO)
Trauma & PTSD Therapy
You’ve moved on — but your body hasn’t.
You feel on edge, disconnected, or triggered in ways you can’t fully explain.
Therapy can help you feel safer, calmer, and more in control — at your own pace.

Does This Feel Familiar?
You feel on edge, even when everything seems alright.
You feel disconnected from yourself or others.
You struggle to trust others and stay constantly guarded.
Small things trigger intense reactions you can’t control.
Your mind returns to memories you don’t want to revisit.
Your body reacts before you have time to think.
If you recognise these patterns, it doesn't mean something is wrong with you.
It means your system adapted to experiences that felt overwhelming —
and may still be responding as though you are not fully safe yet.
How I Can Help
My approach to trauma therapy is gentle, structured, and grounded in how the nervous system works.
I don’t rush the process or push you to revisit difficult experiences before you’re ready. We move at a pace your system can tolerate — building stability, safety, and understanding first.
At the same time, therapy is not only about coping. As your system becomes more regulated, we can begin to carefully process what has been stored — so your reactions start to shift, not just make more sense.
I draw from different approaches, including EMDR, somatic work, and cognitive therapies, adapting the process to what you need rather than following a rigid model.
Throughout the work, you begin to understand what is happening in your body and mind — and gradually experience more control, flexibility, and ease.
