welcome to wonder and hope
What happens to you matters.
And so does what is happening around you.
Supporting individuals, families and practitioners navigating trauma, displacement, war and conflict.
You may be living with the effects of trauma, loss, displacement, war or conflict. What happened may be affecting
how you feel,
how you relate to others,
how safe you feel,
or how you see yourself.
You deserve a space where you can talk about what you have experienced without having to explain, minimise or justify it.
I’m a trauma therapist. I work with women and children from culturally diverse backgrounds, including people who have experienced childhood trauma as well as war, conflict, forced migration and displacement.
Your culture, identity, family, community and the circumstances you have lived through are part of your experience. They belong in the room too.
You don't have to do this on your own.

about
I'm a therapist, supervisor, educator and mum.
I've worked with people from many different cultural backgrounds, including communities in Myanmar, Turkey and Greece. Working alongside people who have experienced war, displacement and profound uncertainty has shaped me both personally and professionally, and has led to a deep interest in how trauma is experienced within the context of culture, family, identity and community.
I work with children, adults and families, and I also support practitioners through supervision, training and consultation. Much of my work centres on trauma, migration, displacement, war and conflict, and on developing ways of working that are culturally responsive and grounded in people's actual lives.
I'm particularly interested in children's experiences of trauma. My research has explored the role of play for children affected by war, and this continues to influence how I understand and work with children who have experienced difficult and sometimes unimaginable things.
I don't believe there is a single way to understand trauma, or a single way of working with it. I want to understand the person in front of me… their story, their culture, their relationships and the experiences that have shaped their lives.
