About me as a therapist:

I believe that the experience of being listened to in a non-judgemental space is inherently therapeutic and I have been pursuing practices that centre listening for many years.
Sitting with feelings, letting emotions be present and expressed, and articulating thoughts in a resilient and empathetic space is a rare experience for most of us. Feeling genuinely safe is not a common feeling; I think of this particularly as a queer person, but it applies to people of any background, orientation, gender, ability, neurology. As a counsellor I strive to provide such an environment. 

As an integrative counsellor I provide an adaptive practice that focuses on what best serves the client’s needs at the point in their journey.

I trained in movement originally and see the body-mind as an integrated whole, with feedback systems that carry and inform our sense of self. My work in somatic practices and improvisation has given me a strong sense of the physical self, and the value in seeing the whole body-mind, even while engaged in a ‘talking therapies’ process – we are still an embodied self, experiencing and expressing ourselves.
