My Approach

Somatic Experiencing (SE) forms the central influence in my work and focuses on how autonomic nervous system responses shape our experience of safety, stress and overwhelm, and how these patterns can shift over time through carefully supported therapeutic processes.

I see psychotherapy as a process that includes both embodied experience and meaning-making. Many clients come to me with a cognitive understanding of their difficulties, but find that their embodied responses remain unchanged. My work focuses on this gap between insight and embodied experience and supports change at a nervous system level.

My background in therapeutic movement education and manual therapy gives me a detailed understanding of functional anatomy and movement organisation. This can be very useful in my work with people who have experienced physical boundary breaches, including sexual and medical trauma, injury, and those with complex conditions like Endometriosis and Ehlers-Danlos-Syndrome.​

About Me

I am a Psychotherapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with a background in body work, movement education, and the arts.

I see therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together to explore your experience with curiosity, warmth and a commitment to your wellbeing.

I believe that each person is the expert on their own experience. My role is not to tell you what your problem is or what you should do, but to be an empathetic witness and ally, offering my knowledge and experience where it may be useful, and to hold space and support a sense of safety for your discoveries.

We cannot be vulnerable if we do not feel safe with others. I welcome people from all backgrounds, including those who are neurodivergent and from the LGBTQ+ community, and strive to offer a therapeutic space that is respectful, non-judgemental and valuing  individual needs.
