Uncover the naturally intuitive, creative being within

I offer counselling & psychotherapy, movement therapy and somatic healing. More on how these different forms of therapy work is explained below.

I work from an Integrative Person-Centred approach to therapy. This holistic approach draws upon a wide variety of counselling and psychotherapy models and focuses on meeting you where you are in the moment, with your individual needs and experiences.

I have a particular devotion to the emotional body, because I see it is where so many of us get stuck. During sessions we often explore simple skills to connect with and harness the energy of our feelings. The ability to cycle all the way through our emotional experience enhances intuition, self trust and alignment with our core values.

Some of the areas I work with include: anxiety, abuse, depression, bereavement, relationship issues, suicide, sexuality, spirituality, low self-esteem, stress, trauma, creative blocks and emotional difficulties.

Movement therapy uses the body's language to help you connect with your internal worlds and focuses on supporting you to stay grounded and present in the body during the therapy process.

The language of the body is movement, it is our first language, our most honest expression and the closest to the truth of who we are and how we relate to ourselves and the world around us. The body speaks through sensations, the physical energy of our feelings and the way we move. 

In my experience, during the healing process the body needs as much care and attention as the mind. Through following the breath or simple physical movements in a safe, therapeutic space we can explore what the body wants to say about an issue or situation and begin to release any blockages held on that level.

Movement therapy is suitable for people who wish to explore issues and include the body in that process. No previous movement experience is required. It is open to everyone.

A regular session usually consists of a combination of talking, listening for the somatic sensations and exploring simple practices to help you track and allow activation or settling of your system.

This is done slowly and sensitively with pauses along the way for you to observe what is happening and to explore the arising feelings and sensations. The body guides through the information it brings through for you, and my job is to support you to witness and engage with the emerging themes.
