Therapeutic Approach

My therapeutic approach is person-centred at its core, which means I believe deeply in each person’s capacity for growth and healing — and in the importance of a safe, non-judgmental relationship as the foundation for that process.

Alongside talk-based therapy, I am drawn to creative and somatic modalities. These approaches grow from an understanding that our most difficult experiences are not always easy — or even possible — to put into words. Trauma is often held in the body and in the unconscious, beyond the reach of language alone. Creative and somatic approaches offer a way to gently access, gain perspective on, and begin to process feelings and experiences that can feel overwhelming or as though there is no way out of them.

More recently, I have undertaken initial training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and have found “parts work” to be a deeply enriching way of understanding ourselves — meeting all of who we are with curiosity and compassion.

My therapeutic approach is one of exploration and discovery, guided by each client, their needs and preferences. Scroll down to learn more about some of my areas of experience and expertise.

Humanistic & Integrative Psychotherapy

The humanistic approach to psychotherapy views people holistically — focussing not on symptoms or problems, but on the human capacity for growth and understanding, given the right conditions.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma can leave us feeling fundamentally unsafe, unprotected, and unable to trust. It can be hard for us to be present because to survive we have learnt to fight, run away (flight), freeze, fawn, appease, comply, or dissociate.

Listening To The Body & Nervous System

For many of us, the body finds ways to express things that we may not be conscious of, or have not yet been able to put into words. Where we have experienced trauma, or have been holding stress, anxiety, loss, or grief — without opportunity to process these safely — the body can be impacted in a variety of ways.
