About me

As a Contemporary Psychotherapist, my heart is in guiding people through the profound journey of healing and self-discovery. I specialize in working with the complexities of trauma, loss, and the search for belonging—particularly for the modern soul and the digital nomad navigating a life without traditional borders. When "home" is a fluid concept, the most important relationship you will ever cultivate is the one with yourself. I help you build an internal sanctuary that travels with you, wherever you land. My work is deeply soulful but clinically grounded. I integrate two transformative pathways to help you reconnect: Internal Family Systems (IFS): We hold space for the different "parts" of your soul—the ones that seek adventure, the ones that feel lonely, and the wounded parts that carry the weight of the past. Together, we move toward a state of "Self-Leadership" and internal harmony. EMDR: A gentle, nervous-system-led approach to processing trauma and clearing the emotional blocks that keep you from feeling truly settled in your own skin. With over a decade of experience across clinical, forensic, and community settings (UKCP accredited and CORU registered), I offer a sturdy, expert container for your deepest work. Whether you are navigating a career transition, a relationship shift, or the unique isolation of a nomadic life, I am here to help you bridge the gap between where you are and who you are meant to be. Your journey doesn't have to be a lonely one. Let’s find your way back to belonging.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
IFS: Internal Family SystemsRecommended for those who want to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that might feel conflicted or overwhelmed.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
I believe that healing is not about "fixing" what is broken, but about reconnecting with the authentic self that has been obscured by life’s storms. My style is deeply collaborative; I provide an open-minded and non-judgmental space, but our work is active and creative. We don’t just talk about the past; we work to transform its impact on your present. To help you uncover your lost potential and find a sense of belonging—whether you are rooted in one place or living a nomadic life—I utiliSe two powerful, heart centered approaches: Internal Family Systems (IFS): We explore the different "parts" of your internal world. By meeting your protectors and your wounded parts with curiosity rather than judgment, we allow your core Self to lead the way back to harmony. EMDR: We use this focused approach to gently "defrost" traumatic memories and emotional blocks, freeing your nervous system from the weight of the past and restoring your capacity for joy. Because you are the expert on your own experience, your feedback is the heartbeat of our work. Whether you are navigating a transition, healing a relationship, or searching for a deeper sense of meaning, our sessions are designed to be a flexible, soulful container for your growth. Together, we will build an internal sanctuary—a place of belonging that stays with you no matter where you are in the world.
