I offer gentle and attuned counselling and art therapy for those seeking to soften into connection with their true self, to feel more authentic and connected in relationships, and to shift out of old patterns and into new ways of being. I provide a relational approach, grounded in person-centred principals and somatic practices. If you're seeking a space of holding to move through anxious or depressive states, life transitions, grief and loss or if you're seeking to ease trauma symptoms, improve emotion regulation and nervous system health, I'd love to hear from you.
