Welcome to a space dedicated to systemic healing. As a BACP-registered humanistic integrative counsellor and certified trauma professional, I view you not as a collection of symptoms to be fixed, but as a complex, living system. True well-being emerges when your mind, body, nervous system, and history are fully welcomed and integrated into a unified whole.

Children & Young people

Adult Individual Therapy

My work with adults is deeply relational, integrative, and trauma-informed. I do not view you as a set of symptoms to be fixed, but as an individual with an innate capacity for healing.

Grounded in attachment theory and developmental neuroscience, my approach to working with young people focuses on building a secure, trusting therapeutic alliance. I meet them exactly where they are, tailoring our sessions to their developmental stage.

Relationships are our greatest source of joy, but they can also trigger our deepest vulnerabilities. My approach to relational therapy is grounded in attachment theory and the neuroscience of human connection. Rather than taking sides or assigning blame, I view the relationship as the client.

In navigational terms, a Cardinal marker is a buoy that marks an obstacle at sea. It also tells the sailor how to safely navigate past the obstacle to clear, safe waters.

Our goal at Clearhaven is to offer you a safe place where you can get the help you need to navigate past life's obstacles and find your safe passage.

Our hope is that you can continue your journey from here.
