I support adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, grief, or developmental trauma. Many feel frozen, hypervigilant, or disconnected from their bodies due to old imprints and attachment wounds. They come seeking a deeper connection to themselves and a way to release held patterns. I help them move forward by gently re-patterning the nervous system. Integrating the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)—a music-based listening therapy—we acoustically stimulate the vagus nerve to restore safety from the bottom up, building emotional resilience and inner stillness.

In providing a safe, facilitating environment within which a process of unfolding, unlearning and enabling new self-learning, then an exploration can take place between us. Through greater understanding of our innermost self, together we can begin to allow the possibility for change.

Our true nature is free, flowing, wild and energetic. Childhood traumas create defences, because our survival instinct was so strong it protected us at all costs. The cost is our experience now, disconnection from our-self, our body, others, life. Resulting in difficult relationships, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and self harming behaviour. The decision to come to therapy is a brave one, it is a statement to yourself and the Universe that you no longer want to just survive, but to live with purpose, connection and aliveness. The therapeutic relationship encourages this life force energy, giving space for wholeness to grow.

Are you struggling with intimacy, sexual confidence, or feeling disconnected from your partner or your own body?

This can be from a combination of how sex was talked about in your household, your sex education, early sexual experiences and unpleasant sexual experiences. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s going on and begin to move forward.

Everyone who comes to therapy has a unique set of issues but the underlying need to share the distress and be understood, is true for everyone.

Hi, thank you for visiting my profile page. I know it can be a big decision to make time in life to have therapy, but the first step in doing that is finding the right therapist for you. There is no problem too small to take to therapy, you might even just have a feeling that things just aren't right at the moment. So much of the experience of psychotherapy is having the time and space to explore and figure out what is going on both in your external and internal world. By doing this, over time things start to make a bit more sense. It would be my great privilege, as your therapist to support through this time of exploration.

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
