Many of the people I work with know themselves pretty well. They've done the reading, maybe even the therapy. They understand where things come from. And yet something still hasn't shifted. Some come not in crisis but out of curiosity. They have a sense that there is more to understand about themselves, and that life could be lived with greater depth. Others are carrying the effects of burnout, trauma, prolonged stress, or the effects of having to adapt to survive while growing up. I have a particular interest in neurodivergence: I live with ADHD myself, which gives me both personal and professional understanding.
I draw on psychosynthesis and Somatic Experiencing — working with mind, body, and the different parts of the self. Conversation is central, but not only conversation. I may invite attention to what's arising physically as we speak. This often opens something that thinking alone doesn't reach.
I'm not a blank-screen therapist. I'm collaborative, genuinely curious, and enjoy playfulness and humour when it arises. The relationship between us is not incidental to the work — it is the work. If this resonates, I offer a free initial conversation to see whether working together feels like a good fit.

I draw on psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing, moving between them as the work requires. Some people need to talk. Others need to work more directly with what the body is carrying. Most need both. I am ADHD-informed and neurodiversity affirming.

I would love to recommend David as a soulful, thoughtful, caring and skilful therapist, with a special gift of bringing humour and humanness just at the right moment. We exchanged sessions during a trauma training, and I felt safe with him, seen and held.

I combine Somatic Experiencing with psychosynthesis psychotherapy, an integrative tradition that works with different parts of the self. Together we explore how patterns held in the mind are also held in the body.
