If you are here, looking at my website, that tells you everything you need to know. Everyone needs help from time-to-time. I can help. No matter what you are dealing with, please feel free to reach out and have a free 15-minute chat with me, so that you can feel confident that by working together with me, I can help you.

Initially, I will learn about what has brought you to therapy. From then, all sessions can look a little different but will all always be led by what feels right to you. We can talk, I can help you to sense into your body’s knowing about the best next steps for you, we can learn and practice skills to manage ruminating thoughts and overwhelming feelings.

We can also learn basic nervous system regulation skills and aim to build your nervous system capacity and resilience. We may also do some therapeutic touch work to repair and rebuild early traumas and attachment wounds. I draw on my knowledge and practice, based on what brings you to therapy and what we both feel will help you to move forward in the best way possible.

That is up to you. We can work together short or long term to achieve your goals. There are also skills we will embark on together to enhance your outcomes. Ultimately, we are all so unique that it is hard to know where the journey will take us. My goal is always to serve you as best as I can, in as short a time-frame as I can.

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is a form of mindful therapy. It’s approach helps us to stay present in the moment and to make space for our thoughts, feelings and sensations, rather than engaging in a struggle with them. It helps us to define what we value and what is meaningful to us, and then to make steps towards living that rich and meaningful life we desire.

Somatic therapies are body-oriented approaches to therapy. Some call these bottom-up approaches, and instead of focusing on our thinking, like talk therapy does, it pays attention to the body’s experience, needs and communication with us. This may include noticing the sensations and emotions in our bodies, moving our bodies and releasing held tensions, traumas and memories if needed. In therapy with me, we mostly use our intention, attention and therapeutic touch to work with the body, and as always, you are in charge and can choose what feels right to you.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) uses bilateral stimulation, usually either watching a moving object or tapping on your own opposite shoulders (butterfly tap) as a way of assisting your brain to integrate or reprocess trauma that is triggering you in the present moment.

The goal is to take the distressing memory from a place of ‘here and now,’ to a place of ‘there and then.’ This way, the memory is in the past and is not triggering us in the present. By incorporating Somatic therapies into the traditional EMDR protocol, we are able to work gently and at your body’s pace.

NeuroAffective Touch® is a body–mind psychotherapy to repair the early relational experiences that shape our nervous system and emotional life. It recognises that trauma is not only psychological but also stored in the body as patterns of tension, withdrawal, or disconnection. Through safe, attuned touch, and sometimes guided self-touch or imaginal touch, it helps restore a felt sense of safety, connection, and regulation. This approach is especially supportive for people with early or developmental trauma, helping the body experience what enough safety, contact, and attunement feel like, often for the first time.

Focusing is a learned process of getting in touch with what our ‘body’ already knows about us, our life and our best next steps. My counselling work often includes Focusing, but it is also a stand-alone skill that can be learned and used as a type of ’self-therapy.’
