There is a finality to symptoms such as insecurity, depression, anger and anxiety. Exploring one’s psyche can lead us on a path of transformation, creativity, authenticity to oneself and healing. Jungian therapy is a process suited to anyone with an interest in knowing more about themselves. As Jung said “one does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious” and so Jungian therapy is a journey of awakening inner aspects one may not have realised they carried, aspects brought forth which may have hindered a connection to ourselves and to others.

I am passionate about working along side people, through art making and conversation, to work through trauma, understand themselves better or generally build a stronger sense of wellbeing in their lives.
Art is not a job, rather an inherent trait in all of us! I believe that it can help us find deep, safe & long lasting healing. My approach seeks wisdom from grounded anti-colonial practices that heal the soul as well as the mind and body. No one method works for all, together we can work out what is best for you as in or out of the box as that might be.

I'm starting to learn that maybe it's ok that i don't always have my sht together. I’m human and that’s ok."

I help young women who feel lost, overwhelmed, or stuck in people-pleasing finally get clear on who they are and what they want. Here, you'll be supported to understand what's really driving your patterns, reconnect with your intuition, and get clear on what you truly want - not what everyone else expects from you.

This is an ongoing process of growth and self-actualisation. I'm here to help you understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, motivations and behaviours and how these affect your actions.
