Experiential therapy can help you get back to a calm, confident self, sooner. I am a lived experience and neurodivergent therapist, trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Coherence Therapy. These approaches engage the brain's natural memory reconsolidation process, which allows for rapid transformation of traumatic memories and helps to alleviate the distress that comes with them, such as anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, physical tension, self-sabotage, and depression. These aha! moments in experiential therapy can help us develop a new relationship with ourselves and profoundly shift our old reaction patterns in daily life.

Thoughtful psychological care grounded in insight, dignity, and compassion - I work with adults (18+) with psychological concerns, cognitive differences or other mental health issues impacting health and wellbeing. Do you struggle, with questions about neurodiversity: undiagnosed or diagnosed ADHD or dyslexia? Are you anxious or sad about relationships? Emotional impacts of life transitions and health challenges are better processed with professional supports. Some people want a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. In therapy, I offer a safe space to make meaning and move toward more engaged living.

As a counsellor, I draw from person-centred approaches, Mindfulness Integrated DBT and Jungian therapy techniques, among others, to meet each person as a whole being with mind, body, and spirit. I hold deep respect for the sacred journey that each individual walks and the wisdom that resides within their story. I believe every person carries an innate capacity for healing, growth, and awakening when nurtured in a space of compassion and presence. My role is to help cultivate that space, one grounded in empathy, where emotions can be safely explored, insight can unfold, and the deeper truth of the self can gently emerge.

Effective and profound therapy is safe, interpersonal, and restorative. It is a way to connect the dots finally. It reveals what has been missing, what's been kept secret, or what the unconscious mind has repressed. It allows a person to see what's been absent, understand the inner self better, and restructure their thinking around the narrative so that a paradigm shift is felt.

Every person I work with is treated with dignity, respect and compassion. This means looking beyond people's current condition, situation or diagnosis to also consider their broader life-history, including how current symptoms may have been shaped by early life experiences. I believe that everybody, no matter how complex or challenging their situation, circumstances or life experiences, when provided the right support has within themselves vast resources for self-understanding and resilience.
