My practice is broad, but not vague \u2014 I bring a clear, informed approach to understanding what you\u2019re experiencing and how it has developed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paralittlebig\">Alongside general therapeutic work, I specialise in trauma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paralittlebig\">This includes both single-incident trauma and more complex, long-term experiences \u2014 particularly where early relationships or repeated patterns have had a lasting impact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paralittlebig\">My style is direct, engaged, and thoughtful. I won\u2019t overwhelm you, but I also won\u2019t avoid what matters. Therapy with me is an active process \u2014 one where we work together to understand and address the underlying issues, not just the surface symptoms.<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-1221573723\"
