Psychological support for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence

For nine years I worked as a senior psychologist at the Women’s Rights Center, helping women and children who had lived through violence. I know how hard the first step is, and how much it matters to be heard without judgement.

We work at your pace. You decide what to talk about and when.

Why people come

• A relationship, now or in the past, where you are controlled, humiliated or hurt
• Past violence still affects your life
• It is hard to trust people and let them get close
• Guilt and shame, a lost sense of your own worth
• Anxiety, sleep problems, physical symptoms

How I work

First we look after your safety, including your physical safety. If needed, we will make a safety plan together, and I will tell you where to turn for legal and social help.

Then we work with the aftermath of what you went through: fear, guilt and shame, rebuilding boundaries and trust. I use trauma-focused approaches, including EMDR.
