My Approach

I am an integrative psychotherapist. My approach is grounded in the importance of our all our relationships, (with others, self, environment) and in an understanding of how the experiences we have throughout our life shape and evolve us. I am informed by trauma and attachment theory and research. I also align with a 'systems and deep ecology' view of life and how this can helps us understand human experience and the therapeutic encounter in the context of the difficult times we are all living in now. I believe we are all a valuable part of the natural web of life. I have taken lots of further study and training since my initial masters degree in 2010. Buddhist psychology, shamanic practices, spirituality and the theory of living systems to name a few! I am constantly integrating new ideas into my practice. Therapy can mean different things to different people; getting support through a crisis, a journey of self discovery and insight, a way to facilitate and support conscious growth or connections, or change, transitions and transformation. It can even be or become a spiritual practice of mindful reflection and conversation. My own personal therapy has been a valued secure base in my evolution as an adult, parent, elder, grandparent and in my continual becoming as a therapist and supervisor with other practitioners. I love supporting others' journeys.
