When women start drifting towards 40 and beyond, something shifts. Nobody warns you. Just all of a sudden, things hit a little differently. There's often an inner rage that is harder to contain. The body is changing and shifting, right along with your tolerance levels. Relationships are becoming a lot more challenging to navigate. Sometimes a sense of despair, and an inner voice asking, 'is this really all there is', can start to get uncomfortably loud. And something else can happen... old wounds we thought we'd long forgotten, start becoming raw again. "I thought I was over this stuff..." - a not infrequent thought.
Maybe you start to wonder if it's time to talk to someone. You don't have to know exactly what you want, to begin. We work gently, at your pace: whether that’s reinforcing an existing foundation, or making sense of patterns that have followed you for years. This is careful, trauma-informed work that aims to help you find new ways of navigating old pain.
I offer walk-and-talk therapy in nature, as well as seated sessions under the trees. Being outdoors often helps conversations flow more easily, with less intensity than sitting in a closed room. If something here resonates, reach out, I am ready to support you on the next part of your journey.

Therapy with me involves sitting outside while we chat. Our work includes talking, experiencing where your feelings sit in your body, understanding your values and what you want moving forward, and working with your thoughts and feelings, instead of against them. I draw on somatic practices, acceptance and commitment therapy while remaining entirely centred on you and what you want/need.
