In my practice, I use an integrative and holistic approach, in conjunction with cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and mindfulness.
Life can feel overwhelming—stress, anxiety, low mood, health issues, or feeling stuck can drain your energy and joy. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to talk, heal, and grow. Whether you face burnout, depression, eating challenges, or relationship struggles, or maybe you are in perimenopause, we work together to create real, lasting change.

As an integrative therapist, I holistically blend a number of modalities tailored to each client, with experience in somatic work, sexual therapy, IFS, ACT, and mindfulness-based therapy.
Contact Via WhatsApp/Email. My focuses are relationships, eating disorders, & addiction. In both our relationships with self and others, most long to experience love, belonging & growth. In relationships and in hardships, I see infinite potential for transformation and evolution: through the stuck places, the old patterns, the failed attempts to connect or feel safe. Underneath, the true you is waiting to be heard through the surface ‘symptoms’. If you can recognise where you’re at, you’re halfway there — and rather than just treating the symptoms, together we listen to what’s underneath, and help you to get free from the root.

I'm committed to deepening my practice through ongoing professional training - in areas such as trauma and mindfulness-based approaches - to support each client a way that fits their needs.
Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just not yourself lately? Maybe you’re grieving. Maybe you’re stuck in stress or burnout. Or maybe you can’t explain it - only that something feels off. Therapy gives you time and space to look at what’s happening beneath the surface. We’ll talk through what you’re feeling, where it might be coming from, and what could help things shift. Whether you have a clear goal or just a sense that something needs to change, this is a place to start unpacking it - at your pace, in your own way.

I facilitate mindfulness meditation groups, corporate wellbeing events and inner journeying workshops aligned with the major Celtic festivals.
I work from a body based psychotherapeutic approach, addressing trauma held within the body and working with the attachment patterns that cause life-long psychobiological symptoms and interpersonal difficulties.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counsellors
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
