I am currently seeing clients on Monday, Thursday and Friday.  

In my work with clients I bring a curious and creative approach to what they are bringing.  This allows us to find a place to explore as openly as possible, and to work intuitively and relationally in the therapy space. 

I am trained in integrative practice, so bring in ways of working that draw from Psychodynamic, CBT and Humanistic (person centred, Gestalt, Psychodrama).  Additionally I have training in somatic practices including meditation and visualisation to help my clients connect more deeply with their bodies and the wisdom, knowing and compassion found there.  

Currently I am training in Dramatherapy, so bring many creative and action based (embodied) ways of working including objects, metaphor and puppetry.

My clients find working with me helpful to connect with their bodies, work through past wounding, finding creative solutions to issues in the present, as well as connecting with their own inner guidance and resources.  

I am interested in what is happening right now, in this moment, here — what are you noticing? And what roles you take, avoid, or have banished in your life.

I often ask my clients to speak about what they are noticing in their body in our sessions, and to build comfort with being with how they are — however they are.

I work with helping people attune to themselves, to take responsibility for their lives so that they can make the most informed, embodied, courageous, and loving choices in their lives.

In working with myself and others over the years, I have seen how we learned to disconnect from our bodies and ourselves for various reasons, including, cultural messages, life experiences, traumas, fear of who we really are and how that might be met in our relationships.

Much of the work then is finding ways back to our deeper, more authentic selves, so that we can meet life more fully.
