With a passion for connecting with each person's individual nature and experience, I will accompany you to discover the therapeutic process that will best support you. Therapy can sometimes feel clinical, but my approach is known for its gentleness and deep listening. My counselling work is trauma informed, neuroscience informed and person-centered, drawing on somatic therapies, ACT and creative therapies.
My extensive experience with complex trauma has prepared me to work with even the most painful and difficult experiences. I work to strengthen your compassion to yourself, in your personal and professional relationships.
I believe in the value of creative techniques to offer you deeper insight to empower you on your journey. For the moments when words are not enough I draw on techniques of art therapy, sand therapy and narrative therapy to offer varied creative forms of expression. I have found that creative and physical practises often allow a helpful alternative to talk therapy alone and have the capacity to provide remarkable insight, development, and relief.
For clients who identify with spirituality I can offer compassionate understanding of faith community and spiritual life. I have extensive experience working with clients who have been hurt by abusive religious environments. I also have a deep understanding of the power of authentic spiritual experience in developing a healthy and rewarding life balance.
