Book recommendations for different issues (from a book-loving therapist) As those who know and work with me will know - I really 💛 books!It stems from being a (often) shy bookworm as a child, then doing my first degree in English literature, followed by my first career in publishing. I thought I’d share a selection of some of the books I’d recommend to clients who...

What does self esteem therapy look like? I've realised I've been a bit quiet on social media recently, so wanted to reassure you that I'm still here!

Feeling newly inspired and topped up with the latest knowledge and frameworks to work with my wonderful clients who are going through the often extreme pain of narcisstic abuse by a partner, family member, friend or in the workplace.

This PESI course, which included some fascinating content on gaslighting and codependency, was led by a raft of incredible speakers including the brilliant Dr Ramani Durvasula, with her pioneering work supporting adults and particularly those going through divorce or separation. She shared the latest guidance on issues like parental alienation and strategies to use with clients who are going through the family courts (which are frankly not fit for purpose).

Dr Ramani advocates using the term Antagonistic Relational Stress over narcissistic abuse. I love this as it brings the focus back to the client, the person who is on the receiving end of this mistreatment, through absolutely no fault of their own.

Dr Lindsay Gibson shared some fascinating insights into emotional immaturity and working with systemic abuse from family systems and ways to support clients who’ve experienced a childhood marked by abuse and/or control from their family of origin.

As a therapist with both lived and professional experience of this incredibly damaging and insidious form of abuse, I feel privileged to be able to work with and support my clients in the best and most informed way possible.

I work with a framework to help clients explore and navigate issues around attachment, inner child healing and nervous system regulation, as well as working with them somatically to release stored trauma and emotions.
