Description

Find healing and empowerment today. Many of us have found ourselves stuck in difficult relationship dynamics—whether with family, partner, friend, or at work. Over time, these experiences can chip away at our sense of self. We may start to question who we are, silencing our needs, people-pleasing, or shutting down just to keep the peace. This is especially true if these patterns began in childhood. Left unaddressed, they can lead to feelings of anxiety, low self-worth, chronic stress, or even symptoms of trauma such as PTSD or complex PTSD. Research suggests that a significant number of people will be exposed to narcissistic behaviours at some point in their lives. The impact is real—but so is the possibility of healing. With the right support, it’s possible to reconnect with yourself and gently move forward.

As part of my psychology degree, I was awarded a six-month scholarship to study in Torino, Italy where I first gained my interest in comparative approaches and international insights into mental health. ​ My professional background spans roles across non for profits, academia and trauma recovery support facilities. I’ve supported individuals with concerns ranging from trauma and burnout to emotional regulation, identity, grief, and relationship issues — always with an emphasis on emotional safety, clarity, and self-agency. I specialise in treating effects of subtle abuse that often happens quietly behind impeccable facade and appearances, psychological abuse, emotional neglect, narcissistic abuse. ​ I work with adults navigating complex emotional experiences — often shaped by early family dynamics, emotionally harmful relationships, or long-standing patterns of self-doubt and over-responsibility. My clients are thoughtful, often high-functioning individuals who are tired of carrying it all quietly. They come to therapy ready to understand themselves more deeply and make sustainable, grounded changes.​ ​ My approach is relational, practical, and trauma-aware. I integrate evidence-based practices with a respectful curiosity about your individual story. Therapy with me is a space to feel seen, think out loud, challenge unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with your inner steadiness — without needing to explain everything perfectly.
