About My Work

I am a trauma-informed, integrative psychologist specialising in attachment, identity development and nervous system regulation. I came into this work with a deep curiosity about what truly shapes us — not just our symptoms, but our sense of self.

I hold a Master’s degree in the Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing, and my approach is grounded in attachment theory, developmental psychology, and nervous system science. But beyond theory, my work is rooted in a simple belief: psychological suffering is rarely random. It makes sense in context.

Many of the people I work with may struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or relationship difficulties — yet underneath these experiences is often something deeper. A pattern. An identity shaped around survival. A nervous system that learned to adapt to environments where safety, attunement, or emotional consistency were not always present.

My postgraduate research explored how early attachment patterns — particularly those marked by emotional neglect, misattunement, inconsistency, and trauma — become woven into adult identity, shaping over-responsibility, performance-based self-worth, emotional suppression, and relational anxiety. It deepened my focus on how psychological distress often reflects the long-term cost of survival strategies — and how reflective, relational, and embodied work can support meaningful shifts in identity, emotional regulation, and relational patterns.

We inherit not only unresolved pain, but also limiting beliefs — about our worth, our safety, and what’s possible for us — that profoundly shape our self-concept, relationships, and the trajectory of our lives. Inner work allows us to return to our authentic identity, and reconnect with who we were before fear, conditioning, and unmet needs shaped our sense of self.

My work bridges analytical psychology, spirituality, and nervous system science:

- Trauma-informed, spiritually integrated mental and emotional healing grounded in Jungian principles, exploring the unconscious and archetypal patterns that shape experience

- Deep work with generational patterns, family systems, and ancestral legacy

- Support navigating identity transitions and spiritual emergence

- A safe space for deep self-inquiry and emotional release

In therapy, I don’t focus solely on managing symptoms. We look at how patterns were formed — in early relationships, within family systems, and in the body itself. We explore how survival strategies can become identity, how over-functioning can mask unmet needs, and how emotional intensity often reflects unprocessed relational history.

As deeper patterns shift, people often find that their symptoms soften naturally — not because they forced them away, but because the underlying system begins to feel safer.

I am particularly interested in how identity reorganises over time — how people move from survival-based self-concepts toward greater coherence, self-trust, and internal safety.

I practise with strong ethical integrity, confidentiality, and deep respect for each person’s cultural, relational, and personal context. Therapy with me is a collaborative space — grounded, thoughtful, and paced in a way that honours your nervous system.
