Whether you are anxious, depressed, broken-hearted, overwhelmed, grieving, questioning the direction and purpose of your life or concerned about the quality of your relationships therapy offers the possibility of living differently.  

As a client and a therapist, I have found that it’s good to talk with someone who’s not a friend or family member. The people who know and love us can find it difficult to listen when we are distressed and hurting. They may assume that they know why we feel as we do and be quick to offer misplaced, if well-intentioned, advice. Or, perhaps, there is no one to talk to, no one who you feel understands or who can really hear what you are saying.

Therapy isn’t about assumptions or advice. It’s about having space to feel into the corner of things, to explore why they are the way they are and what might be able to shift or change.

I offer an open, reflective, and supportive space to move towards a life that works for you.

The way I work

I believe we evolve through relationship. It is in relationship that we learn how safe it is to be in the world, what we can expect from others, and how to relate to our own needs. Many of us have practiced particular ways of being and forgotten or not developed others. We may be ignoring, or have never learnt to pay attention to, our internal body signals. In my work I seek to tune into these messages and use them as guides.

I incorporate several schools of psychotherapy (the humanistic, existential, psychodynamic and somatic) into the way I work. Each of us is unique, so I tailor my approach to meet each client's or relationship's needs bringing what I have learned as a psychotherapist, trainer, mediator and artist to each session.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship offers us a chance to discover, not just who you’ve become, but also space to try out new ways of being.
