TRAUMA & SEXUAL TRAUMA
I work as an integrative trauma therapist, supporting people experiencing trauma and sexual trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD (CPTSD), attachment trauma, dissociation, shame, emotional dysregulation, hypervigilance, anxiety, shutdown, difficulties with trust and intimacy, and disconnection from the body and sense of self.
There is no single way to experience trauma—and no single therapeutic approach that works for everyone. I integrate person-centred and humanistic counselling, experiential therapies, somatic and body-based work, creative arts, IFS, CBT, EMDR, ACT, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Transactional Analysis (TA) and existential therapy, adapting the work to you and what you need.
My approach recognises that trauma can affect the mind, body, nervous system, relationships, attachment, sexuality, identity and sense of safety. Together, we work at your pace to understand how you learned to survive, reduce shame, restore safety and connection, and support meaningful recovery.
Survivors may experience anxiety, depression, dissociation, flashbacks, shame and emotional dysregulation. Through integrative counselling, somatic and creative therapies, healing can support recovery, self-empowerment, connection and the reclamation of sexual sovereignty.
