Hello, I work with individuals, couples and families who may be dealing with loss, grief, trauma or difficult life transitions. Many wish to explore the impact of these experiences on their identity or sense of self, often with or without ASD, ADHD, AuDHD or other diagnoses, and reflect on how this could be impacting on their relationships. Others wish to develop the communication tools to help feel seen, heard and understood. Together we navigate a range of challenges in a strengths-based way to reframe unhelpful thoughts, process internal conflicts and tune into deeper insights.
I follow a holistic approach, often centred on the practice of mind-body awareness to address any embodied stress and establish emotional balance, particularly during adolescence, for women's issues, relationship challenges, and other complex transformations including those related to different life stages or sexuality and gender affirmation journeys.
Often relational issues with others are also about our relationship with ourselves. Our sessions can help with repairing complicated connections with partners, family members and significant others, as well as the self-healing which can support you in identifying and prioritising your own welbeing needs.

Groups
Pregnancy & Birth Story Circles
The transformative journey from conception and throughout pregnancy to motherhood is a process known as 'matrescence'. It is a time when mind, body and spirit go through an awakening. Pregnancy circles support you to follow your own instincts to authentically reflect on this developing part of your identity and its impact on your wellbeing. Birth story circles hold a safe and trauma-aware space for sharing and de-briefing about birth. A place where you can be vulnerable in releasing emotions if you choose and feel understood in a respectful and non-judgemental way.
