I’m an impact-driven, accredited social worker, counsellor, and keynote speaker with a profound understanding of Trauma and Trauma-Driven Addiction. My path has been shaped by resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity. Born with a lack of oxygen, I faced dyslexia from an early age and was tormented with comments like you dumb, stupid, a washout that would never make it in life. At 15, I survived a civilian terrorist bomb blast, and not long after, I narrowly escaped death twice in a three-and-a-half-year abusive relationship as a teenager. 

These traumatic experiences drove me into a battle with self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and a crippling nicotine addiction that led to stage one emphysema. For years, I also turned to binge drinking as a way to cope, a struggle I finally overcame in 2020 when I decided to reclaim my life and have been alcohol-free since then.

But I didn’t stop there. These struggles became the fuel for my passion—to help others who, like me, have faced the darkest corners of trauma and addiction. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, trapped in a cycle of self-sabotage, low self-worth, and the paralysing fear of never reaching your full potential. My mission is to guide you through trauma recovery, helping you rebuild confidence, compassion, and a sense of self-worth.

I specialise in trauma-informed and trauma-driven addiction counselling, empowering individuals to confront their past experiences, understand the root cause of their struggles, and embrace the incredible possibilities of post-traumatic growth. My unique blend of lived experience and professional expertise allows me to walk alongside you as you heal, thrive, and reclaim your life.
