In person sessions can be made available with social distancing and mask rules.
My clients are everyday people who have become stuck. It can be conflict, breakup, anxiety, depression, addiction, family upheaval or simply an unhappiness that doesn’t budge. My clients know what works, and what doesn't, and value the opportunity to sound things out with an empathic and non-judgmental therapist who can stay engaged even when the going gets tough. Being the co-creator of an authentic, safe relationship in therapy helps clients to maintain authentic, safe, and life affirming relationships outside of therapy.

As an experiential and creative psychotherapist, I am passionate about working with those who have experienced trauma and relational struggles. Sometimes what we have experienced can be difficult to put into words, utilising the body, movement, music and play can support self expression, building of a coherent narrative and integration of experience. Use of experiential mediums in therapy is known to support healing from trauma experiences as well as support accessing therapy through offering more than words to explore experience. I also provide supervision to mental health professionals working with families.

Strategic psychotherapy is a brief therapy which is solution-focused and outcome-based. It focuses on HOW you do what you do and not WHY. I won’t be delving into your past and seek “reasons” (ie tough childhood), I uncover and address the very pillars you have unconsciously developed that create and sustain the problem. The integration of hypnotherapy accelerates the therapeutic outcomes. Clients experience relief more rapidly, as the hypnotic state enhances receptivity to change, streamlining the path to recovery.

I offer my full belief in each person, accepting all their parts, conscious and unconscious. I hold a person in their wholeness and greatly respect what it is for a them to show up to themselves and work with the challenging aspects within. This belief is built from years of exploring my own inner life with the help of my many mentors and has enabled me to not shy away from the difficult parts of the process. In session, we work together to expand our awareness of unknown parts and how they work, so they can be brought in and integrated. This is achieved by paying attention to what is occurring in the present moment and in the body.

I have an avid interest in the diagnostic processes and treatment approaches relating to Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) particularly for females, as both conditions are widely misdiagnosed in women, often coined as anxiety-related disorders or Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I am constantly learning, growing and critically reflecting on my practice to continue supporting clients in a neurodiverse affirming manner.
