My Approach
My work centres on helping people deepen their relationship with themselves and thereby create more authentic, connected relationships with others. Many of the folks I work with are carrying the impact of painful relational experiences—sometimes from childhood, and sometimes from the stress of being in spaces where they haven’t felt seen, safe, or accepted. Together, we gently untangle those wounds and build a sense of inner trust and safety, which I see as foundations for intimacy, self-expression, and belonging.
I also believe that insight alone isn’t always enough to create change. We can name a pattern, analyse it, and understand where it comes from—and still feel stuck. When we’ve been overwhelmed or hurt, it’s natural to retreat into our minds for safety. However, healing doesn’t always happen through thinking alone – often, we have to feel our way out. That’s why I support people in going beyond talking about their experiences and into processing and working through them. By practising being with our feelings as they arise—through presence, embodiment, and compassion—we access deeper layers of awareness where real transformation happens. I believe this kind of integration allows us to not only understand ourselves more fully, but live with more ease—rooted, connected, and free.
How I Work
To support this kind of deep, embodied healing, I use an integrative approach and draw from Internal Family Systems, attachment theory, somatics, and intersectional feminism. These ways of working help us get to know the parts of you that need attention and acknowledge all the creative ways you have coped with struggle. They enable an exploration of how your identities and lived experiences influence the way you relate to yourself and others. Together, we’ll gently make space for what’s showing up in the present moment, including what your body might be holding, so that the shifts you want to see can happen not just in your mind, but throughout your whole system.
When I work with couples, I also draw on Relational Life Therapy. This direct and practical approach supports partners in shifting out of stuck patterns and moving toward greater closeness, accountability, and care.
