About me

My practice
My Humanistic Body – Psychotherapy Approach
It is whole-body based. It includes the whole body, not just the mind. You feel the feelings and emotions in your physical body, there are no feelings in the brain. My approach goes beyond the mental understanding. When you are in a state of overwhelm, of stress-response, in highly anxious moods, the language centers of the brain go offline and understanding isn’t enough to restore you to a place of healing. The tensions grip, mold, split, and distort the body. That is why I also work directly with the body, using a light-sensitive touch along the network of the connective tissues.

The hurts of the past. You can’t change your history, but how you feel about your history and your relationship to it.

Non-pathologising. I will treat you as a person, not as a bunch of disorders to be managed.

It is person-directed. There is always more for me to learn about you, you grow and change constantly. You are unique and you are the ‘expert’ on your own world. One size fits all approach doesn’t consider your complex blend of experiences. I adapt based on your feedback. I share clinical insights and recommendations about your options, then you decide if and how to use the information.

Informed by justice principles. I care when something is unfair. All humans are different but equal in worth.
