About Me

My approach as a therapist

Many of the people I work with have been trying to move forward for months or even years, yet something still doesn't feel right. They may be struggling with flashbacks, triggers, being constantly on edge, avoiding things they used to do, feeling disconnected from themselves, or simply finding that life hasn't felt the same since what happened.

I work as an integrative trauma and EMDR therapist from my practice in Sudbury, Suffolk, and online throughout the UK. I blend different approaches depending on your needs. This may involve processing overwhelming memories, making sense of your reactions, understanding how trauma affects both mind and body, and developing new ways of responding to difficult thoughts, feelings and situations.

A bit about me

I know from my own experience how what we’ve been through can continue to affect us long after it’s over. I’ve learned that healing often involves more than simply learning to cope. It can mean making sense of what happened, recognising how it still affects us today, and finding ways to feel safer in ourselves and the world around us.

This is one of the reasons I’m drawn to trauma work and to approaches that recognise the connection between mind and body.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me walking, paddleboarding, lifting weights or looking after my cats and chickens.

What sessions with me are like

Sessions with me are collaborative and conversational. Whilst I listen carefully and help you explore your experiences, I don't tend to sit silently or simply reflect back what you've said. I like to be actively involved in the process, helping you make sense of what’s happening and understand your reactions, and introducing practical tools or skills where they may be helpful.

Whether we're working with trauma, PTSD, difficult memories, overwhelming emotions or the impact of past experiences, we move at a pace that feels manageable for you. My aim is to help you better understand your experiences, feel safer in the present, and find ways to move forward.

My clients often describe me as calm, though I don't always feel it on the inside! I like to create a space where you feel heard, understood, supported and able to talk about whatever feels important to you.
