How I work
Most people who find me have been coping for a very long time. They are competent, exhausted and privately convinced that everyone else finds life easier. My job is not to make you cope harder. It is to help your body learn that the emergency is over.
I use EMDR and somatic approaches alongside ordinary, unhurried talking. We go slowly. You stay in charge of the pace, and we spend as long building steadiness as we do looking at what hurt.
Background
Before Aubade I spent nine years in hospital trauma services and university counselling. I trained in London and Chicago, and I supervise early-career clinicians in trauma-informed practice.
The collective
Meet the rest of the room.
Different trainings, one way of working. If you are unsure who to see, we will help you choose.
