I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a particular interest in using body-inclusive psychotherapy when working with the effects of trauma, as a means to re-balance and heal the pain and distress in mind and body that often result from the impact of traumatic experiences. My second area of special interest is the field of attachment related problems and the repair of those.

In my experience recovery from trauma is possible, and more secure attachment styles can be learned, or re-learned. Creating a therapeutic relationship that allows trust and a sense of security to grow and help the healing is central to my work.

I specialise in working with adults affected by childhood or more recent trauma, working with grief, working with attachment related problems, and working with children, teenagers and their parents on a wide range of  psychological and behavioral problems.

I use trauma-informed practice, attachment-based therapies, sensorimotor  psychotherapy, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR),  EMDR,  mindfulness, Neuroaffective Touch (NAT), narrative therapy concepts and some ACT and CBT, as my main therapeutic modalities.

I am available to facilitate Circle Of Security Parent groups and other parent education groups.

I am also available to provide clinical supervision.

My private practice days are Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Sessions in English or German
