I work with adults experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety in relationships and low self-esteem or feelings of not being 'good enough.' You may feel anxious or on edge in relationships but more confident when on your own, or notice repeating relationships patterns that feel difficult to change. You may struggle to express how you feel, leading to frustration, self-doubt or feeling overlooked.

You might be seeking support to manage stress, anxiety, or depression; to navigate relationship challenges; or to find clarity and freedom from unhelpful patterns. Therapy can help you to reconnect with creativity or explore emerging parts of yourself as you move towards new and more authentic ways of being. Whatever it is that you’re facing, I believe it’s important to start with finding someone that you feel safe to be yourself with. I provide a warm and non-judgemental space from which we will embark on a journey towards finding greater clarity, balance and connection with yourself and others.

My integrative training allows me to draw on various approaches, including solution-focused therapy, relational CBT, psychodynamic theory, attachment work, and somatic (body-based) psychotherapy.
Right now, your life might feel “off” or like a bit of a mess. You’ve tried Google, read self-help books, or watched mental health videos, but nothing seems to be helping. That can feel frustrating — even alien, especially if you’re someone others describe as “strong.” No one would guess that you might be struggling. You're emotionally intelligent. You can name your feelings and even connect them to past experiences. And yet, you’re still overthinking, maybe even panicked, shut down or even shamed. Your emotional needs feel unmanageable.

Everyone can go through a challenging time and we all do it in our own way. You might find it challenging or relieving to talk to a professional and either could work. My sessions offer a safe and non-judgemental space to explore how we both can work together so you can get the most benefit from the therapy. I believe every person deals with their situations differently and therefore I apply an integrative approach to suit your needs. Some of the various approaches I use are Person Centred, EMDR, CBT, Gestalt, Psychodynamic and more.

Perhaps your are struggling with chronic illness, grief, cultural transitions, or the quiet loneliness of feeling far from “home” — externally or internally. Whatever it is, I am here to listen to you and explore this together.

Welcome. Whatever has brought you to scroll these profiles, the right therapeutic relationship can help you be heard, seen and understood. The journey often starts in a place of discomfort: anxiety, bereavement, feeling lost, stuck or frustrated with repeated patterns of behaviour that you can't seem to shift (in life and relationships), physical or mental health problems or the pain of old wounds that haven't healed. These crisis moments are often a call to personal growth and development, and sometimes to find a new path in life. I can offer you a safe and non-judgemental space to explore your situation and begin to move forward.

Do you ever feel anxious, numb, or like you’re carrying a weight you can’t quite name? Many of the people I work with describe feeling stuck, distant from themselves, or quietly believing they’re not good enough, a feeling that echoes through their relationships, work, and inner world. Sometimes they’re navigating grief, loss, or a painful ending, or carrying early experiences of neglect or disconnection that have left them feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

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.
