With over twenty year’s experience working as a holistic health therapist, specialising in treating stress and anxiety, I became increasingly interested in how this manifests in the mind and body.

​

I gained a diploma in Integrative Counselling and while working as a Counsellor for ODAAT, an all male drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, I recognised the deep impact of Trauma on people’s lives. I was then mentored by an experienced therapist in this field, who introduced me to the work of Pia Mellody, a pioneer in Co-Dependency and Trauma therapy, and I trained with her in America.

​

In addition I have trained as a Sex addiction therapist in order that I can treat a whole range of issues that often overlap - love addiction & avoidance, sex addiction & codependency.

 

The most significant influence on how I work with trauma has been through working with the body. Somatic experiencing is a fantastic method for releasing unresolved trauma energy trapped in the body. I teach tools to help you self regulate and self soothe, drawing on your own and inner outer resources.
