About me

My practice
I am a Gold Coast counsellor and somatic psychotherapist (body oriented psychotherapy) and yoga teacher. I only offer virtual sessions. I work in a wholistic way with you encompassing all aspects of your health and wellbeing. I'm interested in hearing your story as well as working together to understand how your body might be hearing and experiencing your story. In working together we will explore both the body and mind aspects of your experience to support you to find a space that not only feels right in your body but also makes good sense to you as well. Working in this embodied wholistic way, life changes arise through a union of body and mind versus merely working on changing your thoughts to get you to a new place. If you have been to a counsellor before you might discover that the way we work together is a little different from experiences you've had in the past. I specialise in working with Mental Health Challenges, Trauma and support participants in the Redress program for Institutional Abuse.
