Psychotherapy for a calm and centred relationship with yourself.

Living a calm and centred life comes from crafting a still place inside. My role is to gently guide you on your journey back to your centre. From here, you can live with more ease, depth and freedom.

Creative, evidence-based therapies for individuals and couples that will free you from an endless loop of suffering.

 

I use mind and body-based methods to uncover patterns of being and relating that keep you stuck. By working with mind and body together, I offer a holistic therapeutic experience that frees you from underlying distress and chronic conditions.

A trauma-informed approach to therapy

This involves creating a calm, safe place where you will learn to adjust and respond to life’s challenges.

Achieve greater self-insight, understand your patterns, change self-limiting behaviours.

Crafting a genuine therapeutic relationship between me and my clients lies at the centre of how I work as a psychotherapist. It’s a relationship earned by feeling safe, valued, and unjudged. In therapy, this relationship is the test-bed for how we conduct all other relationships, most importantly with ourselves.
