Trauma Informed Counselling and Psychotherapy for Women
I am a Trauma Informed Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I have been working in the field of mental health for nearly 30 years, and I specialise in working with adult women, many of whom have experienced trauma in their past.
Trauma can be any event that causes you to feel overwhelmed, helpless, or afraid. It can be caused by a single event, such as a difficult birth, or it can be caused by repeated exposure to stressful or dangerous situations, such as abuse, bullying or neglect.
Trauma can have a profound impact on your life. It can affect your physical and mental health, your relationships, and your ability to cope with everyday stressors. If you are: feeling overwhelmed, feeling anxious, constantly on high alert, struggling to sleep or have difficulty thinking clearly then I can help.
If you are ready to start your journey to recovery, please contact me today.

Example of how Counselling & Psychotherapy can help with Anxiety:
You may be feeling overwhelmed, unable to cope, you are struggling to think clearly and you can't see the wood for the trees.
Your thoughts might be too overwhelming, leading you to start avoiding doing certain things and becoming more isolated. You may be struggling to make decisions and feeling less confident in your own abilities. You might be finding it difficult to sleep and feel exhausted. You know something isn't right but you don't know how to change it.
We would start by creating an environment within which you feel comfortable to talk. We would explore what's going on for you in order to create understanding. We would work on reducing the day to day anxiety whilst also processing the experiences that may have caused the anxiety in the first place.
By the end of the therapy process you will understand yourself better, feel less anxious, have more clarity and therefore feel more confident and fulfilled in your everyday life.
My Aim
I want to help you to feel clearer, more confident and more able to discover a new way of being that feels right to you.
