Are you deeply caring & highly sensitive… but exhausted from holding everything together for everyone else? Maybe you overthink, struggle to say no, feel anxious when others are upset, or quietly wonder “who am I now?” I help women gently untangle patterns of people-pleasing, self-doubt & emotional exhaustion through online somatic and arts therapy. Together we work beyond the thinking mind, helping you reconnect with yourself, create inner safety & respond to life in a way that feels steadier, freer & more true to who you are.

I specialise in ‘Good Girl Syndrome’—a pattern many women learned early in life where being helpful, agreeable or “easy” became the safest way to feel accepted or loved. Over time, this can leave you burnt out, disconnected from yourself & constantly looking outside yourself for reassurance or permission.

If you’re curious about this work, Inner Compass is a gentle, low cost place to begin. It’s a reflective self-guided starting point designed to help you better understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself & begin responding to life with more clarity, self-trust & ease.

I use a somatic technique called Embodied Processing to tap into the wisdom of your body and create a safe container to access the root of your issues & too allow the associated emotions to slowly surface and be processed. Arts therapy is used alongside this because of its gentleness and additional ability to bypass the mind so new insights and ways of seeing things can be created.
