About

I am a professionally trained Somatic Psychotherapist, and have been in private practice for nearly 20 years.   
​
My work focuses on the development of a trusting and open client/practitioner relationship.  Together with you, I facilitate the exploration of the underlying causes of your challenges or concerns.  Using a combination of discussion and where appropriate, gentle, integrative bodywork, I support you in the understanding and integration of these experiences. 

My passion is to empower and support people in learning to relieve life's stresses by developing greater somatic or whole body awareness as well as understanding emotionally what they are experiencing.  This has been proven to enable deeper and more significant relationships with oneself and others.
I offer therapy for individuals, adolescents, families and couples.  The therapy can be short, medium or long term, with our collaborative working goals including you achieving:
  • Understanding the causes and management of anxiety
  • Greater ability to self-regulate and modulate emotions
  • A clearer, more stable and confident self-image
  • Richer and more satisfying relationships
  • Insight into the role played within your family system and how it relates to patterns and relationships with others
  • New choices around behaviour, responses and reactions
  • Increased skills in identifying and satisfying your own needs
  • Awareness and respect for your own and others' boundaries. 
  • Better self-awareness - with the ability to actually feel what is happening in your body, resulting in greater creativity, spontaneity and emotional strength - feeling more alive!
