My Psychotherapy training was a Masters with a developmental Jungian orientation (Taking childhood into account) Core Theoretical Framework: is informed by a pluralistic approach which includes: 1. Freudian and post-Freudian theory on development from infancy and childhood, including Klein, Winnicott, Erickson and Bowlby. 2. Jungian and post-Jungian theory on development of the self.
Jung also focused on inner work, creativity, dreams and individuation.

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we experience, often when change, loss or trauma occurs. We all experience these feelings at some point in our lives. Counseling and psychotherapy can help you recover motivation, perspective, and the sense of security that you once had. An assessment of the thinking patterns that have influenced your perspective, helps develop a flexible and resilient attitude to change.
Trauma & PTSD
Online or in person?
Many people continue to feel the emotional impact of painful or traumatic experiences long after the event has passed. This can show up as anxiety, nightmares, ongoing unease, fear, emotional numbness, or a sense of hopelessness.
In some cases, trauma is minimised or pushed aside as “just part of life,” leaving its effects unresolved.

In some cases, trauma is minimised or pushed aside as “just part of life,” leaving its effects unresolved.
Trauma can affect us in different ways and at different stages of life. Symptoms may appear immediately or emerge months or even years later. These responses can follow experiences you lived through, events you witnessed, or situations encountered through your work or caregiving role.
Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore how trauma has affected you. Together, we can build practical tools for emotional regulation, increase understanding of your responses, and gently process difficult memories at a pace that feels right for you. With support, it is possible to reduce symptoms, regain a sense of control, and move forward with greater stability and self-compassion.
