My name is Steph, and I'm not just a coach or a therapy practitioner - I'm a survivor who has walked through fire and found my way back to life. I am a survivor of childhood abuse, I've endured abuse as an adolescent and a young adult, battled addiction to numb the pain, suffered from severe mental health struggles, experienced the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, and endured complex medical complications. I've also been diagnosed with multiple chronic health conditions, which I believe are deeply rooted in the trauma my body held for so many years. So, believe me when I say, I've experienced trauma at many different levels. I haven't just been to the depths of hell- I lived there. I've carried the silence, the shame, and the weight of a past that tried to define me. But I also fought my way back. I've been through the court process, faced my abuser, and witnessed justice being served. I know first hand how harrowing, terrifying, isolating, and exhausting that journey can be.

My passion for therapy and coaching was born from the loneliness I felt in my own trauma and healing. I know how impossible healing can feel, and to believe you're worthy of peace or happiness after everything you've endured. I also wanted to give my trauma purpose; I wanted to turn my pain into something meaningful. Rather than letting it define me, I've chosen to use my experience as a catalyst for growth, compassion, and connection. Helping others heal has become the most powerful way to bring light to what once felt like endless darkness - and to remind others that their story too, can lead to something beautiful.

I've spent the last eight years studying Psychology and Counselling at degree level, alongside numerous diplomas in trauma, therapy, coaching, and various healing modalities - because I wanted to truly understand trauma, not just from lived experience, but with depth and from a scientific and holistic perspective.

Today, I stand not as someone who's "fixed" or flawless, but as someone who has risen from the wreckage - stronger, softer, and more grounded in truth. Healing is possible. You are not too damaged, too broken, or too far gone. You deserve to feel safe, seen, and alive in your own skin.

No matter where you are right now, healing is possible - and you don't have to walk the path alone. I'm here to support you in reclaiming your power, reconnecting with your true self, and building a life that feels safe, meaningful, and yours.
