My passion for working with Trauma and Somatic practices mean I tailor my approach to gently work with the multi-layered impact of trauma, inviting the body into our work as a guide in the healing process.
Therapy helps us navigate life’s inevitable challenges and complex human emotions such as shame, worry, guilt & fear. It provides a space for you to emotionally tend to painful or traumatic life events, navigate current stressors and anxieties, as well as cultivate a more loving relationship with oneself. I am experienced working with various forms of trauma, anxiety, relationship conflict, inner child healing and issues related to the body. I work in a holistic and intuitive way, integrating diverse psychological approaches and healing modalities. Whatever you may be brining to therapy, I welcome you and here to walk alongside you.

With my background in Yoga teaching, Mindfulness, and somatic work, my practice is inherently embodied and relational.
Having experienced difficult times in my personal life, I have developed a deep appreciation for the transformative power that exists within each of us. I believe that therapy can serve as a catalyst to unlock this potential for healing. As an integrative practitioner, I incorporate a range of psychological theories and techniques in my practice, guided by research findings and the specific needs and preferences of my clients. I deeply value diversity and recognise that each person's experience is unique.

I have completed a variety of trainings and combine practices drawn from Dance Movement Psychotherapy, Ecotherapy, Trauma informed therapy and Somatic practice.
My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in establishing sustainable relationships to self, others and the world in which we dwell. Through a creative, body based approach, I can offer you a space to meet what is challenging or what weighs upon you and nourish what helps you feel well, resourced and grounded. In our sessions you can expect talking, moving, art making and creative writing but the way the sessions unfold will be guided by you and your process.

I integrate: person centred - developing a supportive relationship to explore your story and feelings to enable you to build a strong sense of self; psychodynamic - looking at your history and how that is impacting you in the present; CBT - looking at the causes and then being very solution focussed; somatic - physical grounding and breathing techniques.
Hello, It's likely that you have arrived here because you are seeking help or support dealing with some of life’s difficulties. I appreciate that deciding to seek help and then contacting a therapist can feel like a big and daunting step. Whether that is to deal with anxiety, depression, confusion or unhappiness. Or perhaps it might be a feeling that your life has little meaning, you're lonely, or you lack a sense of direction. Or was there something else?

I offer an approach which combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness and somatic practices and bodypsychotherapy as a way to ensure the talking therapy is integrated into your whole self - body, mind, heart and spirit.
Are you feeling down, depressed, anxious, stressed or overwhelmed. Do you feel like life isn't working out in the way you wanted. Perhaps you have deeper issues you're having trouble getting to grips with or feel stuck and want things to change, but not sure how to do it. You may be suffering from bereavement and loss, addiction, eating disorders, fertility issues, childlessness, attachment issues or trauma whether it's PTSD, childhood or complex. Together we will work to identify your issues, needs and goals for therapy and collaboratively co-journey along a path towards health, healing and wellbeing.

use a somatic approach to address present concerns, supplementing it with CBT/ACT and mindfulness exercises.
My interest in psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation began after the end of my marriage several years ago, which like many other types of losses, triggered a lot of suffering. Life transition, family and friends losses, the breakup of long-term relationships, stress, anxiety and depression are all part of human suffering. However, we have an innate capability, which we can strengthen, that allows us to navigate and, more importantly, learn from our most difficult life experiences.

I use NVR (Non-Violent Resolution) to support families and young people with challenging behaviours.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
