Psychological safety and scope
My work is grounded in mindfulness, presence and a respect for each person’s path. I am not a psychotherapist and what I offer is not a replacement for therapeutic or psychiatric care. There are times when more specialist support is needed, particularly when trauma feels overwhelming or acute. If this is the case, I will do my best to help you find someone appropriate and trusted.
I have trained in trauma-sensitive mindfulness and have an understanding of how our nervous systems hold the imprint of past experiences. This work meets you gently through breath, grounding and compassionate awareness. While it can be profoundly supportive, it is not designed to treat clinical mental health conditions or moments of acute crisis.
Scope of practice
Support I offer:
- Grounding and emotional steadiness.
- Growing self-awareness and compassion.
- Breath and body-based presence.
- Support with anxiety, sensitivity, stress, ADHD and transition.
- Reconnection with inner resources and clarity.
Support I do not offer:
- Treatment for PTSD, complex trauma or acute mental health conditions.
- Support for active suicidality, eating disorders or psychosis.
- Diagnosis, medical advice or medication support.
- Emergency or crisis care.
What you can expect
Sessions are spacious and responsive. We begin wherever you are, gently exploring together. Many people leave feeling more settled, clear and connected to their own inner knowing. I cannot offer fixed outcomes, but I can offer presence, care and a grounded space in which to explore and grow.
How I support safety
Safety is foundational. Together we create a space built on consent, care and trust.
- Sessions begin with grounding and a check-in.
- You are always free to pause, slow down or say no.
- Practices are offered with sensitivity to what feels right for you.
- I listen for signs of unease or overwhelm and adapt as needed.
- You are welcome to share what feels helpful or not. This is a shared space.
