Trauma Therapist & Hypnotherapist. Do you have a history of trauma? Are you suffering from overwhelming and confusing emotional and/or physical symptoms? Maybe you are dealing with panic attacks and a nagging sense that ‘something is wrong’ or perhaps you’re getting angry for no reason and pushing everyone away. You may also be overthinking everything, doubting yourself, not knowing who you are anymore. Trauma can show up in many different ways, all of them exhausting and debilitating. Sometimes we know what the cause is but often comes from a deeper, less obvious place so we may need support and guidance to process and heal.

Perhaps you are looking for help to find your bearings while going through a time of crisis and/or you who wish to examine your life more fully to address issues that have affected you over time. With the help of therapy, you can start understanding your inner world and thought patterns more clearly and remove the feelings of anxiety and worry from your mind. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy aims to go deep into your emotions, understanding how your early life has formed strategies that might contribute to unhelpful patterns in adulthood with the aim of gradually removing distress, helping you to live a fuller life.

You are not alone. Whatever your difficulties may be, there is always a way forward. Therapy may be the right choice for you if you are looking to reduce distress, improve your wellbeing and achieve your goals. Clients who meet with me gain a greater understanding of their difficulties and develop the ability to overcome these. If you are feeling overwhelmed, find yourself unable to move away from unhelpful thoughts or memories, or just sense that things are not quite right, then please get in touch to discuss whether therapy could be of benefit to you.

If you are - Unhappy in aspects of your life and want to make changes; Needing help in managing life’s challenges and stresses; Wanting to assess where you are and what you want. I can help.

When life gets difficult, the most courageous thing we can do for ourselves, is to reach out for help. Counselling is for anybody making their journey through the challenges of life.
