You're a high-functioning woman with big dreams, dee emotions, a brilliant, busy mind that never stops and a sensitive soul.

I work as a clinical supervisor, psycho educator and therapist. My clinical focus is on supervision, though I do take new clients to keep my skills current. I am a postgraduate trained counsellor and sexologist. My training and background is in child sexual abuse, trauma & attachment, sexual difficulties and religious abuse resulting in trauma. I use multiple therapeutic modalities within the supervisory or counselling relationship. We will work together using person-centred, family systems, narrative, IFS, ACT, Somatic, artistic and Trauma Focused methods.

I have enabled people to connect with their meaning and purpose in life and find an acceptance of their own uniqueness, assisting people with struggles ranging from thoughts of suicide, anxiety, existential angst, complex trauma and relationship difficulties. I believe that the therapeutic space is a space where people can work through the things in life that hold them back from thriving rather than surviving. Childhood trauma and family dynamics/narratives that have defined us can be processed and redefined to offer us freedom to exist as we want to.

I am a somatic-based counsellor and psychotherapist, meaning that I work with the body-mind connection.

It’s about moving forward with a sense of empowerment and self-awareness, crafting a life that you feel is authentic and fulfilling. Before transitioning into counselling, I gained 13 years of experience as a physical therapist. I have diplomas in massage therapy, manual osteopathy, and acupuncture.

My ideal client seeks to harness playfulness and creativity as transformative tools. They may feel stressed, stuck, or unfulfilled in personal or professional areas, aiming to enhance resilience, improve relationships, and deepen self-connection.
