WHO I WORK WITHReaching out takes courage
Trauma and PTSD are my main focus, but plenty of what comes through the door is anxiety, depression, OCD, or something that doesn't have a name yet. If you're not sure whether what you've been through "counts," that's a fine place to start - we can work it out together.
-
Single-incident and ongoing trauma. Road accidents, assault, sexual trauma, birth trauma, medical events. When one thing changes everything and won't let go.
-
Repeated or prolonged trauma, childhood abuse, domestic violence, neglect. This kind of thing shapes more than memory. It shapes identity, and how you relate to people. It takes time, and it takes safety built up slowly.
-
Men are less likely to seek help. I offer a direct, non-judgmental space that works with how men actually experience difficulty.
-
Obsessive thoughts, compulsions and rituals that consume your time and energy. CBT with ERP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD, and I have extensive experience delivering it well.
-
Generalised anxiety, constant worry, and a mind that won't switch off. I aim to help you understand what's keeping the anxiety going and what actually helps ease it, long-term.
-
When everything feels flat, heavy or pointless. We work together to understand the patterns keeping you stuck and help you move, gradually and sustainably towards what matters.
-
Persistent worry about illness, constant checking, reassurance-seeking that never quite satisfies. I aim to help you understand the cycle maintaining it and find a way out of it.
-
The dread before social situations. The post-event replay. The self-consciousness that quietly makes life smaller.
