About Me
I aim to offer the level of quality, genuine connection and transformational change that I have experienced in wonderful therapy myself.
In order to offer counselling that comes from a grounded place, I continue to develop my own creativity in and outside of work and remain curiously engaged with life and living. Travel and meditation play a big part in my growth and wellbeing, along with being playful and nurturing connections with myself and others.
I have always been interested to work in a deeper way, to facilitate transformational healing.
Grounded in a co-created, reliably supportive, therapeutic relationship, I offer a sturdy base from which you can move, think and feel freely, with the time and compassion that's needed to work things through.
Knowing what we do today about the impact our neurology, nervous systems and trauma can have on our present, this supporting evidence shapes my approach to offering effective trauma recovery for all neurotypes.
I find it exciting how Internal Family Systems and modalities from Gabor Maté and Bessel van der Kolk have integrated these new insights to allow healing to happen in clearer, safer and more accessible-feeling ways.
In 2022 I discovered that I am AuDHD. I took a break from practicing to process things around this. Allowing this work to happen has deepened my empathy and ability to work with all neurotypes.
The neurodiversity training I undertook before returning to practice was game-changing and led me to specialise in the area for three years. (See Neuro-Inclusive Counselling)
