About me

My practice
I am a psychotherapist with over 22 years experience working in various therapeutic and corporate settings. I have experience in direct client therapy as well as in team leadership, supervision and management. The principles that underpin all areas of my work are based on highly sensitised interpersonal and communication skills that create positive connections, trust and safety which establish the platform for change and growth. The theories that underpin this approach are a trauma informed practice framework, contemporary neuroscience, somatic theory, mindfulness, reflective process and creative therapies.

My work extends to individuals, community initiatives and workshop facilitation. The foundation of my practice is developing authentic and collaborative relationships with clients and assisting them to connect with their unique assets, inherent wisdom & self through the process of creativity.

I 'live the work' that I do which involves deeply listening to my body and having an ongoing commitment to self care. I attend to my needs through creative processes on a daily basis along with camping in pristine nature, hosting meaningful circles of connection and dancing with abandon.
