Attachment Theory
Attachment Theory
Attachment theory posits that the nature of our early life experiences and attachment bonds influence our social, emotional and relational experiences in adulthood. My early training placed a strong emphasis on the role of attachment relationships in human functioning, and my approach is viewed through an attachment lens.

Evidence-Based Trauma Therapy
Evidence-Based Trauma Therapy
"The more we can be curious and open minded towards ourselves, the more we can learn and grow"
- Richard Schwartz, Founder of the IFS model
My approach is informed by the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, a therapeutic model which aims to create secure and self-compassionate internal attachments between the Self and the Parts of the persons' system.
This approach pairs beautifully with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), an experiential approach to treating the distress attached to the difficult embodied memories which underly mental health challenges.
I'm drawn to training in somatic (body) and neuroscientific (brain and mind) approaches to therapy, to best support all clients, including those who may find traditional talk therapies to be challenging.
EMDR and IFS therapies are both well-researched approaches to treating trauma, depression, anxiety and many other human experiences.
