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, according to your 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 assist people with specific mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, bipolar or dissociative disorders, to process difficult experiences and build their resilience.

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 many people who live with the after-effects of trauma, helping them make sense of their experience, work through their feelings, and regulate 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 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 desensitisation reprocessing), and psychotherapeutic touch. With EI (embodied imagination) I help explore the inner world of dreams and symptoms. 

I welcome and respect all individuals, including people of diverse 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.
