At a certain point in our lives, we realise the way we are in relationship isn’t going to take us where we want to be.
Sometimes the need for therapy shows up in the middle of a crisis; an event, situation or difficulty you can’t find your way through. Other times it’s in the aftermath of this when you need help to understand, heal and re-build.
People come when they need help inside a relationship, or when being single allows you the space to look deeply within.
I believe individual relationship therapy is a portal. An exploration of who we really are, the events that shaped us, and the real reasons we behave (and accept) what we do in love.
The greatest work we can ever do is heal the barriers we have to love. When we heal our inner, relationship and childhood wounds, love takes a shape we never dreamed possible.
Individual Therapy
People come to therapy to break longstanding issues, repair from betrayal, learn intimacy skills, communicate better, move through body shame and heal childhood or other trauma.
Others come for singles or dating coaching to make sure they don’t repeat patterns and create the love they desire. Whatever your story, therapy can help.

What does therapy look like?
After four degrees in counselling and 20 years of experience, I’ve learned that talk-therapy alone doesn’t resolve most relational trauma. I’ve created a framework that allows you to go to the deepest layers of your experience to create levels of inner wellbeing and relationship happiness that are long-lasting.
Therapy is holistic and can include:
Somatic Psychotherapy
Transformational talk processes where we use both the body and the mind to explore emotions, memories and the many parts of you in new ways.
Self-Awareness
Practices to enhance clarity and peacefulness, so you don’t remain lost in your suffering. No more living in your head, stuck in thought loops caused by anxiety or unresolved situations.
Embodiment
Embodiment therapy including somatic movement to release trauma and create aliveness, vitality and wellbeing. You also receive free access to online somatic movement classes.

After 25 years and probably 20,000 hours, the truth is – I’ve learned to do what works for the person. Not everything we learn as a therapist comes from a model or a system.
However, I am most aligned with and use skills from Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Somatic Movement, Embodiment Therapy, and from time to time, I look to the Gottman Method for evidence-based information.
I use my health science background to bring in nervous system education and the broader way relational stress manifests in the body.
Philosophically, my approach is heavily influenced by the teachings and subsequent realisations of the essence of nonduality. Aspects of my embodiment and somatic movement work have been shaped by education and mentoring from Michaela Boehm and Steve James.
