I use a structured approach combining counselling, EMDR, and clinical hypnotherapy.
This allows us to work with both the mind and body — addressing not just symptoms, but the underlying patterns driving them.

I work with anxiety, stress, trauma, and physical tension patterns such as jaw clenching (bruxism), sleep disruption, and persistent nervous system activation.

This approach also works with how those experiences are stored in the body — helping to shift patterns that don’t change through insight alone.
