About therapy
People seek therapy for many different reasons, and there's no right or wrong.
​
Do you identify with any of the following?
​
-
You are feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed on a regular basis and you are unsure how to break the cycle
​
-
Something's happened; there's a specific issue or situation that's had a negative impact on you, and you'd like some help to make sense of it all
​
-
Maybe things have been difficult for a while. You feel stuck and you'd like some support to figure out how to move forward.
​
-
Maybe you've noticed that there are some feelings or patterns in your life and relationships that seem to repeat themselves
​
-
You have carried the burden of trauma or grief for a long time and you would like to finally begin to heal
​
​
​Therapy can help you become aware of what holds you back, so you can move forward with more confidence.

How I work
Therapy is a deeply personal exploration of your thoughts, feelings and body sensations in a supportive setting.
​
I take a holistic perspective on emotional well-being where mind, body and feelings are all important for good emotional health.
​
Integrative psychotherapy is about fusing together different modalities for a truly unique, in-depth approach.
I use the following modalities in my work:
​
1. Therapeutic conversation - in each session, we talk and reflect together on the things that you share
​
2. Somatic methods. I help you to gently tune inward and notice what's happening in your body as we talk. I may guide you through some gentle breathing or grounding techniques that you can also do at home.
​
3. Creative arts therapy. Using simple techniques such as drawing or using online creative tools can unlock layers of emotion that may be difficult to express verbally.
​
I also integrate principles of rhythmic movement training for those who wish to go a bit deeper with their somatic work.
Rhythmic movement training is a somatic reflex integration programme that uses gentle movement along with mindful self-awareness to overcome challenges with concentration, sensory, emotional and behavioural challenges for children and adults.
