Approach and background

Whilst my theoretical orientation draws on a variety of humanistic, psychodynamic and transpersonal traditions, I am first and foremost a relational therapist, grounded in the belief that the only person that can truly be an expert in your own experience is you. Therefore, I see the therapeutic process as a collaboration, and my role is to partner you in the journey of self-discovery or help you to navigate your current difficulties. I provide a uniquely nurturing space in which you can feel empowered to reclaim your own inner knowing and become the person you were meant to be.

Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I am here to support you each step of the way with authentic care and understanding; helping you to forge a stronger connection with the vital and courageous part of you that longs for a richer, more satisfying, meaningful or joyful expression in different areas of your life.

This process often involves detangling oneself from the past experiences and influences, gaining a greater self-awareness and a sense of autonomy. Through the therapeutic process, you can begin to integrate different aspects of your personality and create a more positive narrative of who you are and what you would like to create in your life.

Each therapeutic journey is unique, and I continue to be in awe of the diversity of human experience. It’s important to me that people I work with feel well received and understood, and in my practice, I welcome individuals from all backgrounds. I am sensitive to the issues of belonging and otherness, and the ways in which socio-economic structures and cultural context shape our lives. In my approach I aim to be inclusive, respectful and compassionately curious.

My areas of interest include the body-mind unity and how emotional difficulties or trauma can express itself through physical symptoms. As a certified conscious dance facilitator, I understand how embodiment and somatic tools can be utilised in service of a deeper healing.

I previously worked in learning & development in business, where I supported groups and individuals with their personal and professional growth. My previous coaching experience allows me to help my clients identify and work towards meaningful outcomes.
