My work gently integrates somatic awareness alongside talking therapy to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and sustainable change. 

I weave together somatic and therapeutic modalities with intuitive, heart-led guidance, including:

Somatic Practices & Somatic Healing — supporting nervous system regulation, trauma release, and embodied safety

Person-Centred Therapy — holding space with deep empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard

Transactional Analysis — illuminating unconscious relational patterns and attachment dynamics

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — gently reshaping limiting beliefs that keep you bound to old stories

Parts Work Integration — meeting inner parts with compassion, curiosity, and reverence

I work collaboratively, at a pace that feels safe, supporting clients to reconnect with themselves and move forward with greater ease and clarity.

Issues I work with:

Attachment wounds

Relationship patterns

People-pleasing

Hyper-independence

Boundaries & self-worth

Burnout recovery

Emotional fatigue

Postnatal emotional support (non-clinical)

Identity loss after motherhood

Generational trauma

Breaking family cycles

I specialise in trauma-informed, body-based approaches that help clients move beyond insight alone and into lived, embodied change. 

Many people come to therapy understanding why they feel the way they do, yet still find themselves stuck in familiar patterns of anxiety, shutdown, overwhelm, or relational difficulty. My work focuses on gently addressing what the body has learned to hold.

Drawing on somatic practices, therapeutic counselling, and integrative coaching, I support clients to develop greater nervous system regulation, emotional capacity, and internal safety. Sessions are collaborative, paced, and responsive, allowing the body to release stored stress and incomplete survival responses without re-traumatisation or force.

As a coach, I work with clients who are ready to integrate healing into their daily lives — supporting clarity, boundaries, embodiment, and aligned action. This may include navigating life transitions, leadership or business growth, identity shifts, or recovery from long-term stress and burnout. Coaching sessions combine somatic awareness with reflective inquiry and practical integration, bridging insight with action.

My approach is relational, compassionate, and deeply respectful of each individual’s timing and autonomy. I believe healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about restoring connection — to the body, to choice, and to one’s innate capacity for resilience.

Whether working therapeutically or in a coaching container, my intention is to create a safe, attuned space where clients can reconnect with themselves, release what no longer serves, and move forward with greater ease, presence, and self-trust.

In our first session, we will take time to get to know one another and explore what has brought you to counselling. There is no pressure to share everything at once. We will move at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you.

I’ll ask some gentle questions about your current experiences, history, and what you’re hoping for from therapy. We may also begin to notice how things show up in the body, helping you build awareness and a sense of grounding if that feels helpful.

This session is about creating safety, trust, and clarity, and ensuring the way we work together feels right for you.
