Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
I believe in creating a safe space that holds your experience and your personal story so that you have the freedom to explore whatever comes up. Using somatic (body-based) methods, I support you to find your own strength and inner resources.
Whether it's wanting to heal from childhood trauma, reduce anxiety and stress, process loss and grief or navigate relationship or career change, I am here to support you. My passion lies in walking beside you to make meaning of your experiences, getting to know the lesser known parts of you and helping you navigate through life's challenges. With my grounded, calm and trauma-informed approach I create a safe and compassionate space where you feel genuinely heard and seen.
Are you feeling a little lost in this wild and complex world? Did you think you would be somewhere else by now or more sure of things? Do you sometimes experience overwhelm, apathy, anxiety in your daily life? Do you struggle to feel safe and seen in your relationships (intimate / non-intimate)? Do you sometimes feel disconnected from yourself, your purpose and those around you? Do you long for more fulfilment in work, relationships, day to day? Do you need an injection of inspiration and motivation to discover your best self and to live your best life unashamedly and wholeheartedly? I'm here to help.

We work together through your present experiences, supporting you to understand, love and care for the parts of you that may be stuck in the past, in pain or isolated. I bring experience from my years of working in facilitation, group work and therapy to be with you as you connect in with all parts of yourself. We can use these sessions to be deeply curious about the truth you have stored deep within your being. I believe we all hold the answers to the questions that can hold us back, keep us small and stuck in a life that doesn't bring us true happiness. My style of being works alongside your own brilliance to co-create the session that you need.
I am an eight year trained Registered Clinical Psychologist with 30 years' experience of helping the community. My postgraduate training in Clinical Psychology enables me to provide effective treatments for mental health disorders and problems in adults, couples therapy and issues with sexuality.
I enjoy working collaboratively to create a shared sense of the goals and process of therapy. My work is informed by Clinical Psychology within a psychodynamic framework, my training in somatic psychotherapy, and a deep interest in the intersection of the mind, body, emotions and spirit. WIth regard to the latter I utilise the practices of yoga and meditation as a means to further the growth inherent in any beneficial therapeutic work.
My focus is on creating a comfortable space for my clients, so we can work together and clearly understand the client's issues and needs. I really want meaningful change for my clients, and every person's experience is unique and important. My goal is for clients to feel respected and heard, and to feel that they are getting what they need out of therapy. I offer in-person and online therapy sessions.
