PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

I’m so glad you’re here. If you’ve found this page, perhaps you, or someone dear to you, are seeking clarity, comfort, or a way forward after trauma. As with many who come through my door, life may feel heavy, haunted by memories that refuse to rest. It can be hard to believe in the possibility of change. But I want to assure you: healing is not only possible, it’s within reach.

What Is PTSD?



Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is more than just a strong reaction to trauma, it’s an enduring experience that can affect every part of your life. It might show up as:
• Reliving painful memories through vivid flashbacks—or finding yourself unexpectedly triggered by sights, sounds, or smells.
• Having nightmares that leave you unsettled, even after waking.
• Feeling constantly overwhelmed, anxious, or on edge, as if the danger is still present.
• Avoiding places, people, or thoughts that remind you of what happened, often at the cost of meaningful connection.
• Struggling with concentration, sleep, mood swings, or a sense of detachment from the world, even from the people you love.

These symptoms aren’t a sign of weakness. They’re your mind’s way of trying to process overwhelming experiences. You’re not broken, you’re responding to what you’ve endured.

How Therapy Can Make a Difference


I bring together gentle, effective therapeutic approaches like hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, and tailored coping strategies to help recalibrate that response. My commitment is to guide you towards:
• Greater calm, through grounding techniques and mindful reconnection with the present.
• Empowerment over flashbacks and anxiety, reducing their grip on your daily life.
• Reclaiming trust, both in yourself and in the world around you.
• Restoring a sense of safety and belonging, one step at a time.

You won’t have to face any of this alone, I walk alongside you with compassion and confidentiality.

You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone



If trauma has cast a long shadow across your life, reaching for support can feel daunting, but it’s a brave and healing choice. Whether it’s your first time seeking help or you’re revisiting therapy, I hold space for you.

When you’re ready, take that gentle step: reach out, ask questions, or simply say you need someone to listen. You deserve peace, freedom, and the chance to rewrite your story.
