I use person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, mindfulness, and somatic-informed approaches.
My ideal client often feels overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or caught in patterns they can’t quite shift. They may struggle with anxiety, trauma, identity questions, or feeling misunderstood by others and themselves. Many second-guess their emotions or feel disconnected from what they truly need. They want clarity, self-trust, and a space where they can explore things safely and honestly, so life feels more manageable, meaningful, and authentically their own.

Are you stressed, depressed, anxious, sad or just not feeling yourself? Then counselling might be something that can help you, whether it is a new concern or a long held one. Sometimes emotional pain or life events can temporarily cloud your ability to see possible solutions, leaving you feeling stuck, confused, unhappy, anxious, sad or even shut down. The process of talking about this can gradually make things seem clearer as you make sense of your feelings and your thoughts become more ordered. You can feel change taking place, sometimes to your own surprise and so start to find a way forward that feels right for you.

I integrate talk therapy with somatic (body-based) work to help you move beyond patterns, regulate your nervous system, and safely process emotions.
I work with highly sensitive, self-aware people who often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many understand their patterns and can explain why they feel the way they do—but still find themselves overthinking, people-pleasing, or caught in emotional highs and lows they can’t seem to shift.
You might feel like you’re “too much” or not coping as well as others, while quietly holding everything together on the outside.
Together, we move beyond just talking—helping you safely reconnect with what’s happening in your body, so those patterns can begin to shift in a real, lasting way.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
