I offer a confidential, safe space and time for clients to explore any concerns or problems they are experiencing. During our sessions you will have the opportunity to discuss whatever issues you are struggling with in order to reach a deeper understanding of yourself, others and your circumstances, and most crucially to identify anything that you wish to change and work towards your goals. Together in our sessions, I will work sensitively so as to strengthen and empower you in the here-and-now to deal with recent events, on-going or long-standing issues that may have surfaced in your life.

You may be finding life difficult at the moment and feeling anxious or sad. Struggling to focus and worrying about falling behind, you're working hard but, feel like you're getting nowhere. Great at sorting out other people's dramas, you're the first one friends and family turn to in a crisis, but you never seem to find the time or the energy to focus on you. You may notice familiar patterns repeating, sabotaging your work, studies and personal relationships and preventing you from reaching your goals. Painful past experiences are encroaching on the present, and you're wondering if therapy might help you get back on track.

I specialise in working with adults who are navigating big life transitions, often as a result of trauma. I work with grief, loss, sexual trauma, break-ups and burnout, and the big questions these experiences bring: Who am I now? What really matters? How can I live with more authenticity? You might be stuck in familiar relationship patterns, swinging between craving closeness and connection and then finding yourself overwhelmed and wanting to withdraw. You may struggle to set boundaries and ask for what you need, never feeling good enough or constantly comparing yourself to others.

Eventually I came to a study of Western Psychology, specifically Psychodynamic, Jungian Archetypes, Synchronicity, Dreams, & Shadow Integration work.
Via spiritual counselling, Jungian Archetypes & Active Imagination I assist my clients to access, process and release the unconscious 'baggage' stored in the subconscious, which is often related to recurring life & relationship issues & stubborn negative programmes, e.g. self-sabotage, co-dependency. I also help my clients to gain self-regulation tools.

I’m a qualified integrative psychotherapist, which means I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, humanistic, psychodynamic, and CBT, to suit the unique needs of each person I work with.
I take a holistic approach to therapy, which means I look at the whole of your experience, not just the immediate problem or symptom. That means we can explore how different parts of your life connect and impact each other, rather than focusing only on quick fixes. The aim is to create space for deeper understanding and meaningful, lasting change.

Why do we feel like we do? Maybe anxious? Maybe depressed? Maybe self-critical? Maybe not able to interact with others as we'd like and feeling like our relationships could be better? Maybe just feeling like we could be living a happier more fulfilled and engaged life? The patterns of how we feel now have been laid down in our past. Our feelings and behaviours are all there for a reason - usually in ways that somehow protected earlier versions of ourselves. In therapy we can safely and kindly explore how you are feeling now, where your feelings have come from and how we can approach life differently.

Are you tired of feeling that no matter what you try (the therapy, the cold dips, the yoga) you still leave feeling lost? Somatic therapy for the female nervous system could be the path back home to yourself. I can help you transform what you’ve previously repressed or felt looping, back into your own source of vitality. I work with your unique nervous system and rhythm to reclaim what was always within your reach!
