Rooted in existential analysis and logotherapy, somatic therapy, and spiritual traditions, my work supports individuals, couples and other relationship constellations in discovering what truly matters to them.
Many difficulties people bring to therapy don’t stem from conscious thought, but from how past experience lives on in the mind and body. Early or overwhelming experiences, along with beliefs shaped by social and cultural conditioning, can form patterns of reactivity and ways of behaving that operate outside awareness. Yet these patterns show up here and now, where they can be met, explored, and responded to differently. In therapy, we work with this living process so new understanding, choice, and more integrated change across safety, belonging, authenticity, value, freedom, and meaning can emerge, not just cognitive insight.

People can get trapped between two painful positions: feeling powerless to change, or blaming themselves for not changing. Or both. And both create suffering. Something in life may no longer be working. You may feel stuck in patterns you can’t shift - anxiety, shame, low mood, compulsive habits, relationship difficulties or a sense of lost purpose. On the outside you may or may not seem to be coping, but inside you know you are not.

As a sex & relationship therapist, and a qualified Yoga teacher, I work with individuals & couples on their mind-body connection, through somatic awareness and psychosexual therapy, to help foster greater wellbeing in sexual expression and pleasure.
Many of my clients are couples who approach me with issues which include Ethical/Consensual Non-Monogamy (ENM/CNM) and Polyamory. They might be at the beginning stages, curious about exploring ENM, or they might have experienced already some of the painful and difficult areas which opening up a relationship can sometimes bring.

My integrative approach brings together talking therapy and somatic work, so we pay attention not just to what you think, but how your experiences show up in your body.
I work with adults who feel anxious, low, overwhelmed or distressed, and stuck in patterns that don’t feel helpful.

The work aims to ease distress while helping you develop greater insight, feel more grounded, and live in a way that feels more aligned and meaningful to you.

With over two decades of experience as an Integrative Psychotherapist, I guide profound personal transformation with a holistic approach which combines traditional talk therapy, philosophy, somatic work, and the wisdom of the natural world.
Often the hardest part of creating change in our lives is simply making the conscious decision to do so. If you have found your way here, you are at least considering therapy & wanting to know more about how it might help you right now. This is a positive first step! It shows great courage to face life's difficulties & to reach out for support. But how does change actually happen? Where do we start? And as the world works through its troubles, how can we focus when our minds are surrounded by anxiety & uncertainty?

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.
