A bit about me

If you’ve ever felt like the regular path in life wasn’t built for you, like you’re craving something more but don’t know what that ‘more’ is — you’re not alone. I offer a blend of counselling, hypnotherapy, life coaching and EMDR to help you work through past trauma, including relational trauma, and the weight that keeps you stuck. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you can untangle what’s holding you back, rebuild healthy relationships, reconnect with yourself, and move towards a life that feels more like your own.

If you’re neurodivergent, your mind’s wiring presents both strengths and challenges, and here your way of thinking is valued. I have experience supporting people with autistic traits or a formal autism diagnosis, using approaches such as EMDR, guided meditations, Inner Child work, and talking therapy, tailored to each person’s needs. I deeply appreciate working with this brave, creative, and intelligent group, and when there’s a good connection, positive and lasting outcomes are very achievable.

If you, as a creative (an artist or an engineer) often feel out of step with the world, unsure of where you fit, or yearning to live more creatively and authentically — you’re not alone. I’m here to support you in embracing change, reconnecting with your passions, and creating a life that feels fulfilling and truly your own.

For the LGBTQ+ group this is a safe, affirming space where you don’t have to explain or hide who you are. Whether you’re navigating identity, relationships, or simply wanting a place where you are seen and respected, I walk alongside you with openness and compassion as you explore, heal, and grow.

My mission is to help others nurture a stronger relationship with themselves — to move past the places where they feel stuck and begin to uncover who they truly want to become. Together, we create space for healing, growth, and the courage to step into a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

When booking, any of our in person sessions can be changed to a virtual session. Book your session first and then pop the therapist and hey@theselfspace.com an email to let them know.
