Have you survived sexual abuse or rape, either at childhood or at later life? Do you feel shame, guilt, anger, fear or experience flashbacks? Are you experiencing physical and emotional reactions? Deciding to attend counselling can feel daunting. The thought of opening up to a stranger about your experiences can feel scary and overwhelming. Finding a counsellor who is the right fit for you is so important and can make all the difference. I am a Trauma Informed therapist with a Humanistic approach combining the principles of understanding and addressing the impact of trauma with a focus on individuals worth, dignity and capacity for self-healing. I will offer a safe place where you can feel empowered to make choices and share your experiences openly. Together we can explore how you are affected by your experiences, what has happened to you, we will look at triggers and emotions you are going through, the symptoms and behaviours as a result of trauma. Working together we will rebuild a sense of control, healing, resilience and empowerment. I offer one-to-one sessions for adults in person and online. I provide short and long term counselling. Before you commit to counselling I am offering an initial phone call to ensure I meet your needs, and you can decide if you would like to work with me.

I have undertaken specialised training in trauma therapy to enable me to work with adults who have survived sexual abuse. I have volounteered for a national mental health organisation where I have worked with trauma, depression, anxiety, bereavement, ASD, ADHD and other issues. I am also working for a charity organisation who supports survivors of sexual abuse and rape.
