I am interested in many aspects of the human journey including those aspects of ourselves which are hidden from us and holding us back from being the best version of ourselves. My interest is growing as I gain more experience.

I have a background in medical anthropology, which focuses attention on the ways that social constructs like race, gender, ability, wealth and sexuality contribute to conceptions of health and illness. That health and illness are relational, dynamic and always being negotiated is core to my worldview. What this means for my therapeutic practice is that I will always seek to understand the individual in their environment.

I am especially interested in how people carry experiences that were never fully witnessed; grief that had no language, roles assumed too early, identities shaped by survival rather than choice. I am drawn to the spaces where people feel tired, conflicted, or quietly disconnected despite outward competence. I am also deeply interested in how culture, power, and systems shape emotional life; how migration, caregiving, masculinity, or marginalisation influence how distress is expressed and understood. Much of my work sits at the intersection of personal pain and broader context: migration, caregiving, masculinity, marginalisation. The personal and the structural rarely operate separately.

I’m drawn to the parts of the human journey that involve descent, transformation, and return—what Joseph Campbell called the Hero’s Journey. I'm particularly interested in how people navigate turning points like trauma, grief, spiritual crisis, or identity shifts, and how those experiences can become gateways to deeper self-awareness, purpose, and growth.

I'm fundamentally interested in healing human suffering that originates in childhood experiences and resurfaces in adult relationships. I'm fascinated by how our early experiences become encoded in our nervous system and body, and how they shape the patterns we repeat in our most intimate relationships — with partners, children, and ourselves. My work focuses on nervous system health and somatic experiencing because I believe that real healing requires us to work with the whole body, not just the mind. When someone comes to me stuck in resentment cycles, struggling with emotional expression, or carrying unprocessed grief and loss, we are ultimately working with nervous system patterns that formed long ago and are now playing out in real time. I'm deeply interested in men's emotional development and literacy — helping men understand their nervous system, their patterns of disconnection or anger, and their capacity for genuine intimacy. I'm equally committed to couples resilience and helping partners break the destructive cycles that keep them trapped. I'm passionate about family healing across the lifespan — recognising that what happens in childhood, how we regulate our nervous system, and how we show up in relationships are all interconnected. Ultimately, I believe that understanding the connection between our childhood, our nervous system, and our relational patterns is the pathway to genuine healing and freedom.

I am particularly interested in resilience, identity, grief, life transitions and the ways people adapt to unexpected change. Much of my work focuses on women navigating breast cancer, illness, recovery and the emotional impact these experiences can have on relationships, confidence and sense of self. I am also interested in creativity as a pathway to self-understanding, wellbeing and growth.

I am particularly interested in how people heal from trauma, build resilience and growth, form meaningful relationships, and reconnect with themselves and their deeper values. I am passionate about supporting people through anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, identity questions, and the search for purpose and authenticity. I believe the human journey is not only about reducing suffering but also about discovering greater awareness, connection, and fulfilment.

I am connected to my ancestral roots, and I try my best to follow Ayurvedic principles for my health, energy, heart, mind, and body. I've explored many different paths and sought out many different methods of getting somewhere. There's no better place than the here and now (even when I want to run away and escape feeling uncomfortable feelings). Where I am in the human journey is continuing to return to the Now and to understand what it means to feel safe and secure in my own body, and finding true intimacy with people. No matter how deep into the terrain of the underworld or as high into the cosmos, I travel. I am always reminded of this body; everything else revolves around my own safety now.

I'm interested in the moments when life doesn't go to plan—loss, change, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck. These experiences can be painful, but they can also become turning points. I'm fascinated by resilience—not as bouncing back, but as learning new ways to move forward while staying true to who we are. I also believe that creativity can play an important role in healing, helping people express thoughts and emotions that are sometimes difficult to put into words.

I’m especially interested in how people recover from experiences that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves, others, or the world around them. Trauma, grief, and chronic anxiety often leave deep imprints on the mind and body, and I’m fascinated by how these can be safely processed and transformed through therapy. I’m also drawn to the creative and neurobiological aspects of healing—the way the brain can rewire, and the self can rebuild, when given the right support. Ultimately, I’m passionate about helping people find meaning, self-compassion, and resilience as they move through the inevitable challenges of being human.

Jungian analysis focusses on the client's journey towards individuation or self-actualisation. This is the psychological development that we all, more or less successfully, move through as we age. Dream analysis helps to bring the unconscious background into consciousness, helping us not just to transition through our life stages, but to transform. In its deepest emotional sense, individuation is experienced and felt as spiritual development as well as psychological growth and maturity. Bringing the shadow to greater consciousness is all we can do as individuals to help heal the current collective split in the world.

I am particularly interested in how people navigate uncertainty, loss, major life transitions, and periods where life feels stuck or difficult to understand. I am also interested in helping people stay psychologically healthy, not just helping them recover after becoming psychologically unhealthy. Many of the challenges we face in life do not require quick fixes, but rather the opportunity to reflect, gain perspective, and make decisions that align with what matters most. More broadly, I am fascinated by how people make sense of their experiences and create meaningful lives in the face of change, complexity, and uncertainty.

Because of having a diverse career background meeting a great deal of people from all walks of life & sharing in their various stages of life journey, including a full range of 'failure's' and successes, I continue to geniunely find people interesting and feel compassion for their struggles. This now means that although I have many 'specialty' areas that I can support people in dealing with, I can also assist with a wide range of life issues...making me somewhat of a 'generalist' Counselling therapist and Professional Clinical Supervisor with 'specialties' including Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy. It certainly makes my working day anything but boring, as I continue to meet & support many wonderful people facing difficult life challenges!

I’m particularly interested in how people make sense of distress and rebuild their identity after challenging experiences, especially in the context of trauma and early mental health difficulties. I’m drawn to the recovery journey—how individuals reconnect with meaning, relationships, and a sense of agency. I’m also interested in the impact of trauma on safety, trust, and emotional regulation, and how creating a therapeutic space can support healing, empowerment, and long-term wellbeing.

I am naturally drawn to the potential, often unknown and unrealised in people. Sometimes it is like an awakening, often it leads to unknown places. I like the process of trusting the journey and am often reminded of the leap of faith that The Fool archetype takes; the first step of a new journey.

My passion centers on early attachment and the foundational relationships that shape us. I'm particularly drawn to helping parents and young children (especially ages 0-3) establish and maintain strong, trusting connections during those crucial developmental years. I believe these early bonds don't just impact individual families - they ripple outward to create more secure, empathetic people who are better equipped to care for each other and our world. When we get those first relationships right, we're literally building the emotional foundation for the next generation's capacity to connect, heal, and create positive change. This intersection of individual healing and collective wellbeing is what drives my work. I'm fascinated by how something as intimate as a parent responding to their child's needs can contribute to raising humans who are more resilient, compassionate, and capable of addressing the challenges we face together.

I am drawn to the moments when life asks something of us: transitions, identity shifts, trauma, grief, overwhelm and the quiet sense that something within wants to be seen. I am interested in how the body, psyche and relational field work together to guide us toward deeper authenticity, clarity and self-trust. I’m most interested in what moves beneath the surface, when the unseen begins to take form through feeling, image or body. Those threshold moments where something long held, hidden or unknown starts to reveal its meaning. I see health as the integration of all parts of us, body, psyche, relationship, and spirit...so that what was once fragmented can begin to move together in harmony.

I am interested that the journey of health and healing morphs into a quest for truth and meaning, as well as a way of transforming woundedness into growth. I am interested in approaches that honour the whole human being. The body and the heart hold the keys to healing as much as the mind does.

I’m most interested in the parts of the human journey that don’t fit neatly into clinical boxes. My focus is on non-clinical, peer-based approaches that honour people’s lived experiences rather than trying to “fix” them. I believe real change happens through trust, mutual understanding, and taking the time to get to know someone slowly - not rushing toward solutions. As an autistic person, I value exploring how neurodivergent ways of connecting and being in the world can shape our experiences. Neurodivergence isn’t something to be “overcome”; it’s a valuable lens through which we see and interact with the world. Whether it’s unpacking burnout, navigating identity, or finding strategies that actually work for your brain, I approach this work with curiosity and respect for what makes each person unique. Trans-affirming care is also central to my practice. I understand the importance of creating space where people can explore their identities without judgment or pressure - whether that’s about relationships, transitions, or simply existing as your whole self. Ultimately, I’m drawn to supporting people as they navigate systems that weren’t built for them. This includes advocating for systemic changes while helping individuals build tools to survive (and thrive!) in environments that often feel hostile. My goal is always practical: how do we create sustainable, meaningful shifts that align with your values and needs? At the heart of it all, I care deeply about connection - how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Whether you’re unraveling complex systems, rebuilding after burnout, or just trying to exist authentically, I’ll meet you where you’re at with warmth, pragmatism, and a commitment to justice.

I’m interested in how early development and relational experiences shape the way we experience ourselves, others, and the world. This includes how these experiences are reflected in the brain, the body, and in emotional responses over time. I’m also interested in how neuroscience can be applied in a practical way in therapy, not just as theory, but in helping create changes that are stable and lasting. A central focus of my work is emotion. How it is expressed, contained, or avoided, and how connection and presence in relationship can support repair and emotional change. I’m also interested in how longer-term emotional or somatic strain can impact physical health, and how therapy can support a more integrated sense of wellbeing. More broadly, I see therapy as part of a healthy human life, particularly in how it supports our capacity for relationship, regulation, and connection over time.

Our very first relationships with our parents help to shape how we feel about ourselves, how we feel and experience others and how we feel and experience the world. If we get stuck in these fractured relationships and ensuing emotions, it's really hard for us to feel a strong sense of self. We can get stuck in avoidance/repression or attachment, with negative consequences on our psycho-emotional and physical health. If we don't resolve this it holds us back in our evolution and trully discovering the truth of what it means to be human. We loose purpose and meaning to our life, leading to a sens e of disconnection to our selves and the greatness of existence and spirit. How can we really know the greatness of this human birth if we hate ourselves and life. So, I love helping people move past these blocks to discover something grater for themselves and life.

I could describe my interest as helping each person learn how to understand their own experiences and take action to work with challenges. In terms of domains, I have particular interests in trauma and relational issues as the mechanics of how these develop are also fundamental to other problems, hence the skills that clients develop in these domains are hugely beneficial in other domains of life. While I work with a range of clients, I have a particular interest in working with men and senior clients, as I believe that these groups are forgotten in the campaign for mental health.

I’m particularly interested in the process of people reconnecting with themselves — especially during times of transition, uncertainty, or change. This might involve discovering a clearer sense of direction, understanding recurring patterns, or reconnecting with parts of themselves that have been lost, overlooked, or cast aside.

I’m particularly interested in the adaptive function of shame, judgement and self-criticism and how they can operate quietly in the background, keeping people stuck. These experiences can begin to shift when met with genuine compassion rather than judgment. I’m also deeply interested in grief in its many forms, especially the kinds of loss that are not always named or witnessed, including disenfranchised grief, identity related grief, and the grief that can come with navigating invisible illness'. I’m also drawn to the role of the body in therapeutic word, and how much more dialogue people can access when attuning to bodily sensations when appropriate and safe to do so .

I am fascinated by the mystery, complexity and beauty of being human. I see all of life and our experiences as a school of love - where we have the opportunity to learn and start again. I believe in the generativity of life and the movement towards greater wholeness that is always possible. I am fascinated by the path towards transformation that can take place when honesty, courage and desire meet. Within this big picture, I am particularly interested in how our bodies respond and react to our experiences and how a commitment to take responsibility for these responses and reactions, provide us with the opportunity to discover who we are, what our purpose is and how we can live out this purpose.

I'm interested in reconnecting mind, body, and nature at individual and collective levels. Deep Ecology, somatic awareness, psychedelics, grief work, and spirituality are all important avenues of personal and professional exploration for me.

I'm deeply interested in the complex interplay between life, death, and the meaning we create in the space between them. I am particularly drawn to how people navigate their personal stories, especially in times of transformation, grief, and loss. I explore how these experiences are expressed through art, dreams, and creative processes, as they often reveal deeper layers of the psyche and offer pathways to healing. I am also fascinated by the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit, especially in marginalised, disadvantaged, or ageing populations. I focus on supporting these individuals as they navigate life’s challenges, recognising that each person’s journey is unique. My interest lies in helping people connect with their inner resources, build meaningful connections, and find purpose, even amidst life’s most challenging moments.

My own experience of anxiety and depression informs my interest in helping others. My psychotherapeutic training has been strongly trauma-informed, and trauma remains fascinating for me, especially insofar as it reveals so much about the 'ordinary' functioning of the human mind. Other interests include the psychological underpinnings of autoimmune disease, and so I hope to explore interconnections between an integrative approach to psychotherapy and the exciting research being done in the field of psychoneuroimmunology.

I’m interested in the process of change — how we come to understand ourselves, and how that unfolds both within us and in our relationships. This includes patterns, identity, and the experience of self, as well as belonging within relationships, cultures, and groups. I’m also interested in the balance between movement and rest — how we change, and how we settle. Alongside this, I’m drawn to the connection between mind and body, and how working with one can influence the other.

I am particularly interested in how people carry and respond to adversity, including trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and periods where life feels unmanageable. I also have a strong interest in working with people who are highly capable, or used to holding things together for others, yet may be experiencing distress beneath the surface. This can include those navigating pressure, identity shifts, or significant life transitions. More broadly, I am interested in how our early experiences, relationships, and environments shape the way we see ourselves and the world, and how these patterns can be gently understood and shifted over time.

I am interested in the health of the whole human being - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. I believe that depression, anxiety, trauma and grief are not merely conditions that require treatment, but can signal important Iife transitions, rites of passage, crises or dilemmas that can lead to profound growth and change. Suffering is an inevitable part of the universal human condition but can be transformed through compassion and awareness. I feel we are all here to be the fullest expression of our true selves that we can be, and therapy should bring expansion and greater authenticity of self to people's lives.

I am particularly interested in the process of people discovering who they truly are and developing the confidence to live in alignment with their values. Much of my work focuses on personal growth, self-understanding, and supporting people to rebuild a sense of identity during times of transition. For example, I am interested in the experiences of women rediscovering themselves after major life changes such as relationship breakdowns, as well as individuals reflecting on cultural or societal expectations and redefining what feels authentic for them. I am also deeply interested in neurodiversity and the journey many people experience when coming to terms with a late diagnosis. This includes supporting neurodivergent individuals as they better understand themselves, as well as supporting parents and carers of neurodivergent children who are navigating the challenges and rewards of long-term caregiving. More broadly, I am interested in resilience, trauma recovery, and post-traumatic growth, the ways people can rebuild meaning and strength following difficult experiences such as grief, burnout, or significant life stress. I am passionate about helping people develop self-esteem, self-efficacy, and clarity around their core values so they can set meaningful goals and realise their potential.

I am interested in how people view their world and how it influences their values, beliefs and ways of being. I believe all people have equal worth and deserve to have joy in their lives. No matter what their cultural background is, level of education and skills they have. As your counsellor, I will encourage you to respect your distinctiveness and appreciate your uniqueness in the world.

So often our basic human needs seem to be in competition. For example, many people try to balance their need for connection with others with their need for emotional safety, which can create a kind of approach/avoid dynamic. Reconciling the tension created by these apparently contrasting needs is very meaningful for me.

I am particularly interested in the inner experiences of people who may appear to be coping well on the surface while working incredibly hard underneath. Many of the individuals I support are high masking, outwardly successful, or deeply conscientious, yet internally experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, or a constant sense of needing to keep up. I am drawn to the “frantic pedalling beneath the surface” and helping people feel seen, understood, and less alone in that invisible effort. I am passionate about supporting identity development, emotional regulation, and self understanding across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, especially for those whose needs or differences have been overlooked or misunderstood. I am deeply interested in how people learn to unmask safely, build self compassion, and move toward lives that feel more sustainable and authentic. I also value an intersectional lens in therapy. Gender, sexuality, cultural background, race, socioeconomic context, family systems, and lived experience all shape how people see themselves and how the world responds to them. These layers of identity cannot be separated from mental health, and I believe meaningful therapy honours the whole person within their broader social and cultural context.

When I was first training in counselling, I remember a tutor asking what kind of areas I would like to work in - and I said 'Anything but relationship counselling'. Now, it is probably the thing that interests me the most. I find such diversity in relationships and so much potential for increased connection, understanding and joy that I leave almost every session feeling a little elated. Note, I didn't say 'Couples Counselling' or 'Marriage Counselling'. We have so many different models for relationships now that I think its short sighted not to learn from different styles and models of relationships.

I’m particularly interested in aspects of health and the human journey that revolve around emotional resilience, personal growth, and the process of healing. One area that deeply fascinates me is how people cope with and recover from trauma. I’m drawn to the complexity of how past experiences shape an individual’s present life and how, through therapy, people can rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and self-worth. Another aspect I’m passionate about is identity development and self-discovery. I believe that the process of understanding who we are—our values, beliefs, and purpose—can be incredibly transformative.

I’m particularly interested in how people navigate change, stress, and emotional overload, and how these experiences affect identity, relationships, and self-understanding.

I’m most interested in how people make sense of their inner world, especially during times of transition, stress, or identity change. I’m drawn to the moments when clients shift from avoidance to connection, and start living in alignment with what really matters to them. Whether it’s navigating big emotions, neurodivergence, or complex relationships, I care about supporting people to build lives that feel rich, real, and meaningful.

I am very interested in childhood experiences and how they form us, particularly our attachment style. Because of my own experience of childhood trauma and neglect and what is see in the human experience I know that we can transform our suffering and hurt and become who we are truly meant to be. I am interested in why we are here on the earth in this body and what our true purpose is. I know that my purpose has been to transform generations of trauma in my family of origin. I haven't managed it in this life time but my children might!

I'm particularly interested in the intricate interplay between mental health, emotional resilience, and the human journey toward self-discovery and fulfilment. My work at Stabilise Coaching and Counselling Services is deeply rooted in understanding how our experiences, both past and present, shape our inner world and influence our overall well-being. One aspect of health that I’m incredibly passionate about is the mind-body connection. I believe that mental and emotional health cannot be separated from physical well-being, and I often explore how stress, trauma, and unprocessed emotions manifest in the body. This holistic approach allows me to help clients reconnect with their bodies, fostering greater awareness and healing on all levels. I’m also deeply invested in the journey of personal growth and self-awareness. I find it incredibly rewarding to guide clients through the process of exploring their inner worlds, identifying patterns, and cultivating self-compassion. This journey often involves helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues while also empowering them to discover their true selves and live authentically. Another critical area of interest for me is the exploration of ego and soul work. I’m fascinated by how individuals can transcend the limitations of the ego to connect with a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. This aspect of the human journey is crucial in helping clients find inner peace and fulfilment, especially when they feel stuck or disconnected. Ultimately, I’m passionate about supporting individuals through the ups and downs of their human journey, helping them to build resilience, embrace vulnerability, and move towards a more balanced and meaningful life.

The term human journey typically refers to the collective experiences, challenges, and growth that individuals go through throughout their lives. It encompasses a wide range of experiences, both positive and negative, and often involves personal development, self-discovery, and learning. The human journey can include various aspects, such as: Physical Development: This involves the changes in the body from birth to adulthood, including growth, maturation, and aging. Emotional and Psychological Growth: This pertains to developing emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and coping with and understanding one's emotions. Intellectual and Cognitive Development: This encompasses the growth of knowledge, critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and intellectual capacities. Social and Interpersonal Relationships: This involves learning to navigate and form meaningful connections with others, including family, friends, romantic partners, and colleagues. Spiritual and Existential Exploration: Many individuals seek meaning, purpose, and a sense of belonging in the broader context of existence. Life Transitions and Challenges: The human journey includes various life events and transitions such as education, career changes, marriage, parenting, loss, and aging. Personal Goals and Aspirations: This refers to setting and striving towards individual goals, whether they are related to career, personal development, hobbies, or other areas of life. Overcoming Adversity: The human journey often involves facing and overcoming challenges, adversity, and obstacles that may arise along the way. Cultural and Societal Context: The human journey is also influenced by cultural norms, societal expectations, and historical events that shape individual experiences. It's important to note that the human journey is a unique and individualized experience for each person, shaped by their background, experiences, and personal beliefs. It is a continuous process of growth, self-discovery, and adaptation to life's various stages and circumstances.

I don't have one aspect of health or the human journey that overrides the other. I believe they are all intertwined, and I do believe in the power of choice.

I consider a person as a whole. Every person is unique with own special characteristics and life experiences. Your every experience, every situation, and every moment can make a significant impact to your life. In the same way, right here, right now, your change can start to take place and if that is what you would like for yourself, then I am interested in working with you! Your uniqueness as an individual and your life experiences cannot be measured, and every aspect of what makes 'you' the person you are is what is important to me! and this is what we will base as the start of our work together ..

I am deeply interested in how identity, diversity, and lived experience shape mental health and wellbeing. I focus on supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, OCD, chronic pain, neurodivergence, and the impacts of stigma or minority stress. I’m passionate about helping people strengthen self-acceptance, emotional regulation, and resilience while fostering meaningful connections with themselves, others, and their communities. I also value the role of sensory and somatic experiences in recovery, and how reconnecting with the body can support healing, empowerment, and authentic living.

I am most interested in the emotional and spiritual aspects of the human journey. That said, the physical and mental aspects are so important, too. My fascination has always been more geared towards the emotional and spiritual because I feel that these aspects are two large sources of misunderstanding and miscommunication in our world. They are also two sources of the most profound healing that we have been given.

I am deeply interested in the whole spectrum of human health and the intricate journey that individuals undertake throughout their lives. From physical well-being to mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects, I recognise the interconnected nature of these dimensions and their impact on overall wellness. My curiosity extends to exploring the factors that contribute to a balanced and fulfilling life, including personal growth, resilience, relationships, and purpose. By embracing a holistic perspective, I strive to support individuals in their pursuit of optimal well-being, helping them navigate challenges, uncover their strengths, and cultivate a sense of wholeness in every facet of their journey.

Health has always been a priority in my life, as I believe true wellbeing comes from finding a balance between movement, nourishing food, meaningful connections, and time in nature. While these aspects are often undervalued, they play a vital role in our overall happiness and resilience. In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining this balance can be challenging—we’re constantly pulled in different directions. That’s why I’m passionate about exploring the human journey through a holistic lens, reminding ourselves that caring for both mind and body is essential to living a healthy, fulfilling life.

I am intrigued by human psychology and the holistic nature of our being. I am interested in the transformative journey that changes people internally and how this projects into the world around them. I have a particular interest in the way that traumatic events can shape our lives and the growth that can occur post-trauma. Currently, I'm researching ways to access soul-level purpose and how to work beyond the logical mind. I love working in collaboration with Nature and the Creative Arts. I have recently trained in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy and am really interested in how this ground-breaking field of treatment will evolve in Australia.

In Lacanian terms, what we experience as anxiety, pain, shame, is termed 'jouissance'. (Of course this is a simple explanation, but it will do for now.) What interests me is the way that the subject can come to an analysis, be witnessed, come to feel safe with their jouissance, which clears the way to take up an absolutely different position to that jouissance. This is life changing.

Something I've always felt, is that people are far more capable than we give ourselves credit. Part of my healing journey involved the frustration of overcomplicating things which were far simpler than I wanted to believe. Because if they were simple, then why wasn't I able to do them? I realised we don't need more personal trainers. We already know we need to move more, and eat more wholefoods, it's really no secret these days. What we need, is help to implement the self-care strategies we already know we need. So, I decided to become a personal trainer for the mind instead... Now drop and give me ten things you're grateful for!! In all seriousness, in Psychotherapy we can gently remove the obstacles between ourselves and the change we wish to see in our lives. Emphasis on 'gently' and importantly, 'at our own pace'.

I am particularly interested in supporting individuals who have faced difficult pasts but are determined and motivated to thrive in the future, both for themselves and those around them. These individuals may be experiencing stress, grief, or relational challenges, and I am passionate about helping them navigate these struggles to create a more positive, fulfilling future. My focus is on empowering people to heal, grow, and develop resilience, so they can build meaningful relationships, find purpose, and achieve well-being, ultimately transforming their lives and the lives of those they care about.

I have a belief that life can disrupt you at any moment. Sometimes it is linked to what happened in childhood and sometimes it's something unexpected that happens in current life. Key transition points that leave someone feeling lost or emotionally upset are messages from within asking you to pause and understand what is happening for you. These can be magnified by divorce, struggles with parenting, feeling lost in your career or your relationships, losing someone. Giving space and understanding to these messages helps bring relief from the painful feelings of depression, anxiety and more.

I am deeply interested in how we can cultivate a greater sense of peace through an increased awareness of our thoughts and emotions. By developing a mindful relationship with our inner experiences, we can begin to separate ourselves from the constant stream of mental noise, allowing us to respond to life with more clarity and ease. I'm also interested in understanding how the stories we tell ourselves shape our reality, and how shifting those narratives can open new pathways to meaning and self-empowerment.

I’m particularly drawn to supporting people as they navigate their independence and grow beyond old coping strategies formed in childhood. It’s about helping them understand that they can create new ways of living that are healthier and more aligned with who they are now. This journey often involves healing from past patterns that no longer serve them, and finding the courage to embrace new ways of relating to themselves and others.

I am particularly interested in why we do the things we do, think the thoughts we think, and feel the way we do. Through each study area I embark on there are different theories of what causes us to be the way we are. I am enjoying this exploration, complemented by journeying with my clients as they do just this, in understanding themselves. I am partial to strengths based approaches, and remembering and focusing on what works for us as an individual, and building the inner resources from this basis.

Transitions can be stressful and difficult because change, and a lack of autonomy and control, often leads to anxiety and fear, which if left unresolved can create strong resistance, even in the face of unhappiness or pain. This is why I am so interested in the ways that we can try to gradually re-wire our brains and nervous systems to sit with all of our experiences and explore our own insights and wisdom, which could also allow us to embrace any opportunities for growth that these moments or events can bring us.

I am interested in all parts of the human journey. Each client opens another valuable path into understanding the human psyche further. Trauma and the impact on brain development and the unity of both the mind and body, is what particularly interests me as a therapist.

I'm interested in the entire human journey! I love that we all have such vast experiences and differing insights. People are just utterly brilliant. I particularly love it when you see that lightbulb switch on and the client suddenly finds their answer. I also love it when clients finally muster up the courage to say what has really been troubling them and the relief on their faces when they realise they are not being judged for it. Anything goes in therapy. All thoughts and emotions, no matter how crazy you think they are, are welcome. They're probably not so crazy to me :) Finally, I love it when client's pull me up on things - I love that they are empowered and in control and comfortable enough with me to do so. My sessions are truly collaborative which means it goes both ways.

From this integrated approach I would say that I am particularly interested in how a person could discover a more satisfactory and meaningful way of being. A persons's well-being is never static and can be felt on a continuum from traumatic to ecstatic. It is about bringing an awareness to ones way of living, the choices we have to make and the ultimate concerns we have about life and living, that I am most keen to support, in a person's journey towards more meaningful and fulfilling living.

My main focus is on relationships. I believe that how connected we feel to others has the most impact on our mental and physical health. How we manage ourselves, how we regulate our emotions, how we express ourselves, how we listen to others, and how we manage to stay both vulnerable and empowered in the process are the areas I am most interested in.
