Welcome

I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, and I bring my experience and passion for body-mind connection and the benefits of finding your inner creativity to your healing. ​

​​​

• Body-mind connection – your body keeps the score, finding ways to listen to what your body is telling you.

• Creativity – I am a trained SandStory Therapist™ which is a creative way to get in touch with your unconscious and make your own meaning from stories in the sand. 

• Yoga and breathwork - I am a qualified yoga teacher and have practiced yoga for over 20 years. Sometimes my yoga experience shows up in my therapeutic practice through breathwork exercises, slowing down and finding peace in the present moment.

• Person-centred – puts you in the driving seat, trusting you know yourself best

• Relational – using the therapeutic relationship to build trust and forge insights into how you relate to others 

• Psychodynamic – finds patterns in past behaviours and attachment styles from childhood

• CBT – finding deeply rooted core beliefs, challenging them and changing your mindset

​

I have personal and professional experience in:

​

• PTSD and Complex PTSD

• Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

• Childhood abuse or neglect 

• Grief and loss

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Stress and workplace issues

• Burn out

• Chronic illnesses and hidden disabilities

​

Supporting survivors of abuse 

​

I have specialist experience in the impacts of trauma and supporting survivors of all forms of abuse. This could be emotional, sexual and physical abuse in childhood. It could also be domestic violence, coercive control and manipulation in adulthood. These issues are often shrouded in secrecy and shame and could be buried deep within you. All survivors deserve to have their voice heard. I am passionate about helping people find the tools to navigate life, not as a product of their abuse, but as strong, resilient survivors
