Philosophy & Vision
I work in partnership with clients to facilitate finding more fulfilling ways of being. I employ somatic psychotherapy techniques which encourage the body and mind to transform and reconnect. This involves verbal engagement and bodywork, both biodynamic massage and other forms of touch where appropriate. All of this supports the exploration of limiting beliefs and a movement towards happiness, spontaneity, creativity and an ongoing sense of wellbeing.
Background
I have been supporting and counselling clients in self development organisations since 2002. I worked as volunteer counsellor at ACON from 2008-2011. 7 years of training and a passion for seeing people grow, has led me to working in private practice as a somatic psychotherapist and bodyworker.

Therapy Approach
I provide a safe and supportive space for my clients to deepen connection and engage in life with confidence, clarity and heart. We increase the capacity for self reflection through the use of simple body awareness techniques, such as tracking sensation and biodynamic massage. I believe when you change the way the body perceives, you change the way the mind perceives - permanently.
