Meet Jimi
I understand what it's like to carry things nobody sees
I’ve spent over 30 years working with people who function well on the outside while privately carrying far more than others see.
​
Many are capable, thoughtful and used to holding things together. They may be successful professionals, parents, carers, partners or leaders. From the outside, life can look sorted. Inside, it can feel exhausting, fragmented or quietly unmanageable.
​
My work is shaped by long clinical experience in complex trauma, developmental trauma and the adult effects of childhood adversity. I also know, personally, that people are rarely as simple as they appear from the outside.
​
That combination matters. Good therapy needs more than technique. It needs steadiness, honesty, care and enough experience not to be frightened by complexity.
How I work
I'm direct. I won't waste your time with vague reflections or endless open-ended questions. We'll get into the real stuff — not just what's happening on the surface, but why.
I'll be honest with you. If something isn't working, we'll change it. If I notice something you're avoiding, I'll name it — gently, but I'll name it.
That's how real change happens.
And I won't look away when things get uncomfortable.
The hard conversations are usually where the most important work happens.
What makes this different
Most therapy focuses on managing symptoms. Learning to cope with anxiety. Getting through depressive episodes. That can help — but it's not enough if there's something deeper driving the patterns.
I'm trained in approaches that go deeper: Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, DBT. Evidence-based methods that address the root cause, not just what shows up on the surface.
​
But I don't force you into one method. We adapt to what you actually need. Different people need different things — and what you need might change as we work together.
