About me

My practice
Many people feel anxious coming to a counsellor for the first time. I provide a safe supportive non-judgmental space that is warm, inviting and peaceful. I meet my clients where they are at on their journey and flexibly and creatively apply theories and techniques from a variety of modalities which I use to support the diverse circumstances and situations that are presented. I have ‘lived experience’ in many diverse areas of life, which has given me an expanded and open mind, allowing my clients the freedom to talk honesty and openly about a wide range of subjects without the need to censor or hide their true self. I have vast experience working with those who identify as anything but mainstream, and there are no topics that are ‘off limits’ or uncomfortable for me. My approach to counselling comes from an integration of several therapeutic modalities including, Process Oriented Psychology (Processwork), Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I utilise a ‘bottom-up’ somatic approach to therapy which means there is an integration of the cognitive (mind) with emotions and sensations within the body (somatic). This awareness (beyond the spiralling, often confusion of the mind) gives access to a world of information to help resolve trauma, anxiety, addiction, emotional overwhelm, dissociation, impulsivity, emotion regulation and an inability to relax and be present.
