Philosophy & Vision
I support people who are curious about relating to themselves in a more embodied way. One which fosters a tender and fiercely supportive inner partnership, a felt sense of home within, even when things feel unsettled. Together, we gently attend to somatic patterns shaped by relationships, trauma or oppressive systems, so they can shift into more generative ones. I like to see what we're doing as cultivating flexibility in how you think, feel, and respond - expanding your aliveness (agency, choice, creativity, love, sexuality, belonging, autonomy, pleasure) from the inside, out. The responsive nature of my work also draws on poetry, art, ecology, somatic movement, mythology, stories, and dreams.
I co-create space with you that is warm, collaborative, and playful. We unearth, we reflect, we get creative, we stay curious. I believe inner work doesn't end with you; shifts ripple outward reshaping the worlds you belong to.
Background
I have a 20+ year background working in community services (HIV/AIDS, Youth, AOD, Disability, Prison Abolition, and LGBTIQA+).
I am a master's qualified social work counsellor and a fully certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner™ with Somatic Experiencing International.
I currently work part-time as a counsellor in a community health organisation supporting LGBTIQA+ people who use alcohol and other drugs. For the rest of my time, I run my private practice swanriot somatics online.
My work is grounded in social justice and liberatory practices that support self-agency, joy, pleasure & empowerment. I have a deep interest in relational & social trauma and use a somatic approach that acknowledges the external forces of power and harm.

Therapy Approach
I see us as made of many parts, identities, and ways of navigating our worlds that need multiple ways of engaging with these aspects. This is why I enjoy an interplay of approaches. Internal Family Systems (IFS) becomes especially alive when it meets the felt sense through Somatic Experiencing and Focusing. While Narrative work can also be embodied.
My work is rooted in social justice and empowerment practices that centre personal agency. I also lean into relational ecology, which understands our interconnectedness with the more-than-human world.
I see my work as a form of mentorship, sharing knowledge and skills. I dearly cherish the alliance I have with those I support as they come into an embodied knowing of who they are.
