About Me
Life can feel heavy in ways that are hard to name. You might be moving through stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, or changes that leave you feeling unsettled or not quite yourself. Sometimes it’s less about a single event and more about a quiet sense that something isn’t working anymore, that you’re carrying too much or losing touch with parts of yourself you used to recognise.
​
I offer trauma‑aware, somatic‑informed counselling that explores how your body carries emotion, tension and past experience, supporting deeper understanding and change. My work provides a steady, grounded space to pause, make sense of what’s happening inside you, and reconnect with yourself at a pace that feels safe.
My background includes supporting people through domestic abuse, addiction, perinatal overwhelm and identity shifts, which shapes the calm, attuned way I work. I specialise in life transitions, nervous system patterns, people‑pleasing, self‑silencing and the quiet loss of self that can come from holding everything together.
