Therapy Offerings

Currently all of my spaces and waitlist slots are full - I will update those who have expressed interest if that changes but cannot add anyone to my waiting list at the moment.

I work therapeutically with others through a body-mind-spirit-community-ecology lens, bringing curiosity and compassion to the interweaving facets of our lived experience. Often much of the work involves developing a containing relationship so that we can find the trust and courage to dive as deep as we need to for you to make meaningful shifts.

I have experience working with a range of people (read more here) and am LGBTQIA+ friendly. I weave a variety of therapeutic approaches and trainings together (see more here).

I see therapy and yoga as pathways not just to healing and growth, but also to awakening and wholeness. For more details, please read on!

What Does Therapy Look Like?

The best way to explore how a therapy session might look for you and what we might explore is for us to have a chat. Typically at the start of therapy we will talk about what has brought you to therapy and your hopes and expectations. I will share my reflections, but you decide where you want to go. I work in an integrative way exploring elements of different types of psychological and embodied therapies as feels appropriate for you. This will often include talking about the past, to understand where struggles may have emerged from, and exploring what could change in the here-and-now to support positive shifts in your current life, with support from listening in to your body.

There are many benefits to therapy. It can help develop insights and self-awareness that equip you to make positive changes, develop new ways of approaching difficult feelings, reduce suffering, improve the quality of your life and improve your relationship with yourself and others. Sometimes therapy can be part of a journey to a deeper awakening, to exploring the ‘big’ questions of this life. As therapy involves exploring personal difficulties it will often bring unpleasant memories or emotions to the surface; much of our work will be about gauging what resources and supports you already have or that we can develop to enable us to do this in a way that feels safe for you.

My Ethos

I have my own history of significant challenges, including experiences linked to early-life and sexual trauma, anger, low mood and suicidality, existential crises, anxiety, self-harm, alcohol and substance abuse, long-term bulimia, shame and physical health issues, as well as overwhelming experiences from unintegrated psychedelic experiences at a young age. I understand the courage it takes, and the confusion that it can ignite, when we look into the depths of ourselves and ask the bigger questions without the right support and guidance. I also believe that embarking on such a journey is crucial to create more harmony not just for ourselves, but for the whole planet (Lokah Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu).

I honour the courage of the people I work with by endeavouring to fully see and hear them to the best of my capabilities and to offer what I can that might be of use. I value diversity of opinion, experience and approach which I hope supports us to freely understand topics from a variety of perspectives. I believe we can all be empowered to find our own answers and our own gifts, my role is to support that process. I commit to holding space for what emerges on the way, with compassion and respect. My intention is to move beyond power dynamics of ‘expert’ and ‘patient’ and into a space of two humans exploring together drawing on their different experiences. I am aware that intention does not always translate into impact and encourage feedback to ensure that we can adjust our sessions as needed.

I am also a firm believer that talking therapies are one small part of a bigger pathway and am always intrigued about how the natural world, our personal connections, the communities we live in and the passions we have can facilitate deep presence and indescribable moments of clarity and transformation.
