There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

My approach
As an Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches in my work. These include transpersonal, Jungian, psychodynamic and Gestalt. I give a place to soul and soulfulness, which means viewing difficult experiences as a meaningful part of our journey towards wholeness, wisdom and self-acceptance.
​
This doesn’t mean being insensitive to painful experiences and feelings, but recognising that attempts to deny them or 'focus on the positive' can create more suffering or be a temporary 'sticking plaster' solution. We need to engage deeply with our wounds in order to integrate and ultimately transform them, and empower ourselves to make changes in our lives.
​
We may sometimes work with dreams, stories, images and embodiment to access less conscious material and connect you with the wisdom and healing potential of your body, creativity and intuition - and heal your connection to these if they have been ruptured through trauma.
​
You can expect me to be curious and an active participant in the therapeutic process. I will help you to be authentic, relational and vulnerable by being so myself.
