My desire is to help Couples and Individuals come to a point where depression, loneliness and anxiety are no longer controlling factors in your life and are replaced by courage, self love, and deep relational connections. When you discover tools to excavate and integrate parts of yourself you left behind, you are capable of facing and becoming more than you can imagine

During our sessions we will practice a new way of being. Over time and with practice, either you or you and your partner will begin to carry that experience outside of our session. It’s like muscle memory

The more we learn to self regulate our anxieties and attune our bodies to create peace, security and confidence, the more we bring them into every aspect of our lives. Over the years I have come to learn in my clinical practice that working with couples, individuals and families as well as through my own personal psychological work, that I have developed a deep awareness of how human beings can change..emotionally, psychologically and spiritually

Though I have many years of experience and education, I come to this work primarily, not as an Ivory Tower expert, but as some one who has been in the trenches and transitioned through to the other side . My work is experiential and somatic, bypassing the mind, which can be such a clever diversion, and working with the unconscious forces that so often hijack our lives without our consent

Trauma is stored in the body and we often don’t realise we are carrying it with us until we begin to experience problems and patterns in our lives that aren’t lining up with who we think we are and what we think we want

We work together to reconcile the mind and the body, which are so often cut off from each other, creating confusion, anxiety, helplessness and despair.

Blending practical tools with deep experiential and somatic work, we integrate what has been split off and empower ourselves to heal. We learn to come back into contact with the parts of ourselves we’ve left behind and restore to a newfound sense of vitality and peace

When we do this work honestly and engage with it fully, it creates shifts in every realm of our lives

As we gain greater awareness of who we are at our core, we create deep shifts with the way we communicate and interact with others, transforming our relationships into secure and healthy attachment styles

My primary specialisations are working with Couples and Individuals seeking to live a life filled with purpose and potentiation… to align those with newly discovered resources and to develop more of a sense of one’s destiny’
