My work is grounded in an integrative–relational approach. This means I draw from different therapeutic traditions while placing the relationship at the centre of the work.
Therapy is not something done to you — it is something we co-create. The therapeutic relationship becomes a steady, respectful space where patterns can be explored safely, and new experiences can begin to form.
Alongside relational depth, I work somatically — recognising that trauma and emotional experience are held not only in thought, but in the body and nervous system.
Trauma is often carried quietly. It can shape how we relate, how we feel in our bodies, and how safe the world seems.
Rather than focusing only on narrative, I support you in building safety and regulation first. When the nervous system feels steadier, deeper healing becomes possible.
My work is particularly attuned to complex and relational trauma — experiences that may have unfolded over time, or that were woven into early relationships.
Internal Family Systems understands the mind as naturally multiple. We all have different parts of ourselves — some protective, some vulnerable — and each developed for a reason.
In therapy, we approach these parts with curiosity and respect rather than judgement. Beneath protective strategies is an essential Self — steady, compassionate and wise.
As connection between Self and parts strengthens, internal conflict softens. Parts can release burdens they have carried — including trauma, shame or inherited beliefs.
Somatic Experiencing is a body-based trauma therapy that works directly with the nervous system.
When overwhelming experiences occur, survival energy can remain “stuck” in the body. This may show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, dissociation, chronic tension or emotional overwhelm.
Through gentle, titrated attention to sensation and regulation, the nervous system can gradually complete interrupted responses and return to greater balance.
While I work with established therapeutic models, my approach is not rigid.
It is intuitive, relational and responsive to you.
There is space here for sensitivity, complexity and contradiction. For parts of you that feel strong and capable — and parts that feel unsure or exhausted.
Alongside psychological and somatic work, therapy may gently touch on intergenerational, cultural or systemic layers. For some, this includes exploring patterns that feel older than personal history — burdens that may not fully belong to you.
This work is approached carefully and without imposing belief. The aim is integration, not ideology.
Many people begin therapy seeking relief from distress — anxiety, depression, shame or relational difficulty.
Over time, the work often becomes something more.
As safety and regulation deepen, therapy can become a space for reclaiming vitality, agency and embodied self-trust. A space where you are not only surviving, but living with greater clarity and choice.
