Feel free to reach out for a chat to see if we might be a good fit. I offer a safe and compassionate space to support you wherever you are at. I offer a holistic, embodied approach to therapy, integrating somatic work and Gestalt therapy principles. With an embodiment lens, I support clients in exploring emotions, patterns, and experiences stored in the body. My approach includes parts work, helping clients recognise and integrate different aspects of themselves with compassion and awareness. By fostering greater self-connection and embodied presence, I support individuals toward healing, growth, and a deeper sense of wholeness.

Life can be so tough, at times: Perhaps you don’t feel good about 'you', you struggle with life feeling relentlessly stressful, expensive, and anxiety-provoking, your relationship is in trouble, work is overwhelming and unsatisfying, your friendships feel insecure, you grieve for the decline or death of a close other (or beloved pet), you are diagnosed with a fear-evoking illness, your mental health is out of kilter and you don't know how to get back on track, or you may be feeling a 'deep down' loss of meaning and purpose in an increasingly unstable, uncertain world. Or something else; we all have a story. Therapy can really help.

With a collaborative approach, I support you to gently and curiously explore your past and current challenges & experiences, while also unravelling old trauma's that may be impacting your life and relationships. My endeavour is for this work to help you cultivate strong inner foundations and resources; empowering you to expand your innate capacity for growth and transformation.

I provide psychotherapy sessions in person and Telehealth (video).
One of the barriers to self-care is allowing yourself to go into the depths of your experiences. Often, we are challenged to explore and understand this profound chasm, to touch what is held there, to hear its messages, and to connect with compassion to the raw emotions that have been lying dormant for years or just surfaced. By peering into the abyss, we can gain deeper understanding of ourselves and insight into the meaning of our lives; transforming and opening up possibilities the future could hold for us.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the community sector. Having worked in both urban and regional locations in Australia, and in community-based roles in the UK and Canada, I pride myself on being able to connect with people from all walks of life. I've worked with people of all genders, sexualities, cultures and abilities. Whilst working on Vancouver Island, I ran addictions support groups made up of an assortment of individuals. Homeless folks would be facing similar issues to investment banker-types. This led to me becoming more interested in the universality of trauma and PTSD.

I work with people from all walks of life who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Some are queer or neurodivergent; some are caregivers, burned-out professionals, grieving, or quietly dissatisfied. They're wanting support where they are truly seen, and that is collaborative, honest, and makes a difference.
