Somatic Psychotherapist

Services

COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

I offer confidential counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, either short or long term. I am flexible and collaborative in setting goals with each client, according to their needs and priorities.

I can help you explore your inner experience, improve relationships with others, regulate your emotions in stressful situations, and clarify your direction in life. Sessions are available in person or online.

I am skilled in emotional processing to resolve inner conflict and promote integration. I offer a range of experiential, body-based and creative methods to help you connect with your inner world and develop more clarity, harmony and presence. I assist people with specific mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, bipolar or dissociative disorders, to process difficult experiences and build their resilience.

I see many people who live with the after-effects of trauma, helping them to make sense of their experience, work through their feelings, and manage their symptoms more effectively. I am trained and experienced in working with complex trauma, including childhood emotional, physical and sexual abuse. I offer safety, understanding and creative ways forward, to help regulate difficult emotions and gradually heal the sense of self.

My practice involves both verbal and experiential therapy, depending on the needs of the client. I use various techniques to help clients explore, process and make sense of their feelings and thoughts. I have extensive experience in the use of somatic processing, emotion-focused therapy, EMDR (eye movement desensttisation reprocessing), and psychotherapeutic touch, and may incorporate any of these methods, if appropriate, in consultation with the client.

I welcome and respect all individuals, regardless of gender identity, colour, cultural background, ability or sexual orientation.

SUPERVISION

I offer supervision to somatic psychotherapists and other practitioners who wish to include an awareness of bodily and affective experience in their work. I practice empathically and collaboratively in my work as a supervisor, as well as with clients.
