About InnerLight

I believe therapy can offer a space to slow down, become curious about what is happening within us, and begin to understand ourselves more deeply.

Our experiences, relationships and the ways we have learned to protect ourselves can shape how we feel, think and relate to the world. Sometimes, what we experience in the present only really begins to make sense when we become curious about what lies beneath it.

I don't believe there is a single route through this work, or that anyone else can tell you exactly what you need. You know your experience from the inside. My role is to bring my knowledge, experience and therapeutic skills, while creating the space for us to explore what feels meaningful to you.

Sometimes that exploration may involve trauma, attachment, relationships or parts of ourselves that have been difficult to understand. Sometimes something less easily defined may emerge — a feeling, memory, image, pattern or connection that opens up a different way of seeing things.

For me, therapy is a collaborative process of discovery. There is no prescribed route and no expectation that you arrive already knowing what needs to change. We can begin with where you are, follow what feels significant, and see what unfolds.

I have spent many years working alongside adults who have experienced trauma, sexual abuse, neglect, difficult relationships and early attachment difficulties. My experience has given me a depth of understanding of the ways these experiences can continue to shape how we feel, relate to others and make sense of ourselves.

I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and EMDR Therapist, and have worked extensively with people experiencing complex emotional and relational difficulties. My professional experience includes specialist trauma work, EMDR, Pre-Trial Therapy (PTT), and supporting people navigating the criminal justice process.

Throughout my career, I have worked with people with a wide range of experiences and presentations. Alongside my therapeutic experience, I continue to engage in clinical supervision and professional development, ensuring that I remain thoughtful and accountable in the work I do.

What matters most to me, however, is not fitting someone's experience into a diagnosis or a particular model. My experience gives me knowledge and perspectives that I can bring to our work, but I also recognise that every person is different. I aim to bring that knowledge with openness and curiosity, allowing us to discover together what is meaningful and helpful for you.

InnerLight offers one-to-one, trauma-informed therapy for adults. My work is particularly suited to people who want to understand themselves more deeply and explore the impact of experiences such as: 

• childhood trauma
• emotional or physical neglect
• childhood sexual abuse
• adult sexual abuse or assault
• early attachment experiences and difficulties
• relationship difficulties and recurring patterns
• relational trauma, including co-dependency and difficult or narcissistic relationship dynamics

How the work unfolds

My approach draws on EMDR, relational therapy and parts-based work, alongside an understanding of the nervous system and the ways our experiences can shape how we relate to ourselves and others.

Sessions are collaborative and reflective, with space to explore what you are carrying at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your experience. The work isn't about fitting you into a particular model; we can draw on different approaches according to what feels relevant and useful to you.

Who this work is for

This work may be particularly suited to adults who feel the effects of trauma or long-standing relational patterns and want to understand themselves more deeply. You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you need or which therapeutic approach is right for you. We can begin with what brings you here and explore from there.
