Complex Case Consults

Over the past 40 years I have had the incredible experience of learning from a wide variety of people of all ages, from six to eighty years old and they have taught me so much about how to support their healing.

I use what I’ve learned through them and four University degrees, countless additional trainings with the world’s leading trauma, addiction, attachment and mental health clinicians who have also mentored me to be able to work with all presentations gently and effectively.

Specialisations include: Developmental and other Trauma presentations, Childhood  Abuse & Neglect, Adoption, Addictions and other Unwanted Behaviours, Nervous system regulation, Somatic Experiencing methods to work directly with the body (always with consent)

BSP for resolution of addictions and other unwanted behaviours
