how I can help you
Choosing to start therapy is never an easy step. With so many approaches and styles, it may be hard to find what works for you. Together, we will decide what approach resonates with you, and what type of therapy you are comfortable with. Therapy is an organic process, where you can be just as you are, with no judgement or expectations. My approach is a truly integrative way of working with psychological, physiological, physical and spiritual presentations.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I work with an intuitive combination of talking therapy, mindfulness and body-based therapy as appropriate for you. I believe that the journey through suffering, healing and self-development is a multi-faceted, dynamic unfolding path and, as such, it requires a truly holistic perspective of the individual, exploring how emotions, feelings, thoughts and self-beliefs affect the body and how, in turn, working with the body, breath and nervous system regulation may provide healing and respite from suffering. As a relational practitioner, I value the therapeutic relationship as a source of real change and transformation, and I believe in an openness of practice and tailoring my approach to your unique and individual needs.
​​
I work with children (12+), adolescents, and adults of all ages, and offer both short or long-term counselling and psychotherapy sessions. I have an LGBTQIA+ inclusive practice which honours all identities. I work in a neurodivergent affirming way, and the environment can be altered to suit your experience.
my approach to therapy
As an integrative psychotherapist, my practice is person-centred at its core, and informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Gestalt, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Somatic Trauma Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Existential Psychotherapy, Spiritual Counselling, and Yoga Therapy.
​
I honour the powerful and unique relationship between body, mind and soul to support you in welcoming a felt sense of joy, self-discovery, curiosity and self-understanding in their lives through an intuitive and individual blend of talk therapy, embodied somatic practices, bodywork, breathwork, guided relaxations and active imagery to become more connected to both you internal and external worlds.
My approach is non-linear, and influenced by attachment-based and trauma-informed clinical approaches to therapy. I have completed extensive specialised training and studies on nervous system regulation, as well as on the impact trauma and addictions have on the body and on our capacity to navigate in our environment. I have a special interest in the passing on of family trauma and history, and in difficulties that may arise from navigating cross-cultural and social class expectations and differences.
