Hi I am Theresa
I am an accredited mental health social worker and trauma-informed therapist, passionate about supporting people through their healing journey. With a background in acceptance and commitment therapy, EMDR, narrative and somatic therapy, and as a trauma-sensitive yoga teacher, I offer a holistic, mind-body-based approach that honours your story. My work is rooted in the belief and in the clinical research that healing happens in relationship— and often, in connection with nature.
I have worked with women, trans community and girls specialising in gender based violence for the last 15 years. This includes, but not limited; to domestic and family violence, sexual assault, trauma, grief, loss, attachment, PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety and depression. I am an approved therapist with The Blue Knot Foundation and Victims of Crime.
I have also worked internationally in post conflict settings in human rights advocacy, trauma recovery and gender-based violence with women, non-binary and trans folk. I bring a deep respect for cultural wisdom and lived experience to all that I do. I believe healing includes awareness of the world that shapes us—the forces of privilege, injustice, and power that touch every story. Trauma lives not only within us but also in the systems and histories we inherit. Recognizing this connection helps us move toward both personal and collective restoration.
I offer a range of therapies, approaches and strategies tailored to each person for their unique support needs. As an AMHSW I offer evidence based best practice Focused Psychological Strategies, including;
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Motivational Interviewing
Pscho-education
Relaxation Strategies
