Low Self-Esteem & Trauma Therapy
Low Self-Esteem | Narcissistic Abuse | Childhood Trauma | Sexual Abuse | Betrayal | Anxious Attachment | Avoidant Attachment
I know what it’s like to feel consumed by your past when you are trying to live in the present. Trauma leaves you feeling entangled in your negative beliefs about yourself, sacrificing your needs, repeating unhealthy relational patterns, surviving with coping strategies which are no longer serving you and feeling like your emotions are not your own.
You’re seeking the safety, stability, empathy and compassion which was not present in the relationships that failed you.
And this is why you have found me.
I specialise in working with Relational Trauma & Complex Relationships because I know how devastating it is when people hurt people and how deeply those wounds lie.
Relational Trauma, also known as interpersonal trauma, is a type of complex trauma which arises from adverse and challenging experiences, often where there is a power imbalance. It can occur early on in life in our primary relationships with caregivers or friendships and later in life with intimate and romantic relationships.
