Raised by a single mother who courageously escaped domestic violence overnight, I experienced firsthand the profound effects of abuse, fatherlessness, and intergenerational trauma. These realities shaped my childhood and ignited both deep struggles and a search for meaning—experiences that would later inspire my journey toward healing and advocacy. My early life instilled in me empathy and determination for those who may have faced the same struggles as myself. Now I work as a counsellor & criminologist specialising in trauma, fatherlessness, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, sexual abuse and abortion grief. I'm also a singer/songwriter known as SED8. I write music based on my lived experiences and professional knowledge of trauma and abuse.
