Therapeutic Methods

I offer a confidential client-led space where we can weave together traditional talking therapies with somatic and creative approaches such as clay work, poetry, mark-making, vision quests, breathwork, Indian head massage and reiki. I can support you to connect to your process at a pace and depth that feels right for you. Traditionally counselling and psychotherapy has focused on the cognitive mind and the innate wisdom of the body was lost. Somatic and creative therapies draw upon this wisdom, can help us to connect to and express our inner world in different ways. You do not need to have any artistic ability - this is about your self-expression.

All my offerings are underpinned with heart and I am committed to co-creating a relationship and space where you feel safe to explore your needs and self-expression. I am a relational practitioner which means that I value co-creative spaces, self-determination, and self-discovery. The therapeutic approaches that most inform my work are person-centred, existential, and transpersonal. I am a non-pathologising, holistic and trauma aware practitioner who honours your journey and your wisdom. I work holistically with the body, mind and spirit and I believe that we can use our instincts to source wisdom, meaning, growth and fulfilment.

Sessions

I offer 1-1 sessions at 50 or 90 minutes in length. Sessions at 90 minutes in length allow for a deeper dive into creative work and space for integration. I encourage clients to commit to at least 10 weekly sessions together initially. After an initial 10 weekly sessions together, sessions can be pre-booked on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis based on your felt sense of the work.
