All of You
is Welcome
You may be someone who has been holding everything together on the outside while slowly drifting away from yourself on the inside. You may be someone that is high-functioning yet feeling the burn of over-giving. You may be someone for whom talking about it has only gone so far.
Meet me as we explore the intersection of psychotherapy, neuroscience, somatic practice and the creative imagination, gently, and without rushing.
Some modalities I offer are: Somatic EMDR, Process Oriented Psychology (Process Work) and Yoga Therapy.
About Me + You
Me
I've spent the last thirty years working in the fields of health and human challenge, evolving from nursing, health research, and yoga therapy, into my clinical work as a psychotherapist today. It's been both a professional path and a deeply personal one. I've navigated my own profound healing journey, which means I don't sit in the therapist's chair as a detached observer. I sit with you from a place of kindred presence - a companion space, built on real, lived integration rather than theory alone.
My own connection to nature keeps me restored: travel and the coming home again, swimming in the ocean, walking and breathing in deep forest, standing in the grounding, awe-inspiring presence of mountains.
That's where my core philosophy comes from, and it's simple: our psychological wellbeing is inseparable from nature - both the internal ecology of our bodies and the living world outside us. We are not machines to be managed or forced back into shape. We are living systems.
You
You have arrived here for a reason.
Maybe it’s a persistent discomfort, anxiety, pain, low mood, or fatigue that doesn't quite have a name yet. Often, that's still pointing somewhere.
You may see yourself within one of the following:
Living with PTSD or complex PTSD rooted in childhood ꩜ A burned-out professional carrying high responsibility ꩜ A caregiver who's gotten used to putting everyone else first ꩜ Managing a chronic or life limiting health condition ꩜ At a turning point: grief, a career change, a life you no longer recognise ꩜ Looking for embodied ways to work with dysregulation ꩜ Understanding life through the lens of Neurodivergence ꩜ Someone who's already tried talking therapy, and still feels stuck
I don't see these challenges as defects. They're the exact places where your system is trying to expand and find its way back to life.
The Space We Hold Together
I’ll meet you where you are.
When we carry the weight of trauma, or burdens inherited through family and ancestral lines, the internal landscape gets thrown out of balance. Deep-seated shame acts like a hard frost, freezing and tightening the body, and cutting off our own vitality. We end up swinging between the chaotic floods of emotional overwhelm and the dry droughts of burnout.
Healing doesn't happen by forcing a symptom to change, talking about it is often part of the picture, but it isn't always enough on its own. It happens when there's something safe enough, quiet enough, and steady enough around you for those frozen places to thaw, and, in time, for what's underneath them to come back to feeling, movement and even joy.
Softening into Strength
My work centres on post-traumatic growth and shame resiliency, drawing on my clinical experience, somatic practice, and traditions that honour the natural elements. Together we build a grounded, steady container, one held by compassion and grounding, radical self-care, and a deep presence, both relational and within yourself.
In sessions, that might look like tracking sensation in the body as they arise, slowing down enough to notice what a feeling actually does inside of you, or working with breath and movement alongside the talking, not just talking about the body, but working with it directly. We make room for soft catharsis rather than forced release, for your own inner wisdom to lead the way, and, when it's ready to surface, for playfulness and imagination too, alongside the depth. Safety first, and enough gentle challenge to keep you moving.
“Quiet friend who has come so far, feel how your breathing makes more space around you. Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell. As you ring… what batters you becomes your strength.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
