How I can help.
Life's inevitable challenges can bring about feelings of overwhelm, confusion, and despair.
As your therapist, I stand by your side as you navigate life's crises, offering unwavering support and guidance.
With my compassionate approach, training and experience, we work together to develop coping mechanisms, foster emotional resilience, and emerge from these challenges with newfound strength and clarity.
Working with
children and families.
For children, the world of Sandplay provides a safe and expressive space to communicate their emotions, process experiences, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.
As a Certified Sandplay therapist, I skillfully employ this therapeutic approach to uncover hidden issues, promote healing, and strengthen family bonds.
This therapy works particularly well with pre-verbal trauma for both children and adults.
Unlocking and releasing trauma
The insidious nature of stored trauma can leave its mark on our lives, silently influencing our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
I work to gently and effectively unravel the threads of your past, helping you identify and understand the deep-rooted effects of trauma. This does not mean that the trauma needs to be re-lived and reactivated, rather that we locate the source, acknowledge the pain and release it.
I use a combination of talk and somatic therapies to balance the body and emotions to support the release of trauma from the nervous system.
Recovering from
illness and other viruses
The lingering effects of COVID and other viruses can leave individuals feeling physically and emotionally drained.
With my holistic approach to therapy, I address the multifaceted impact of these illnesses, helping you regain your vitality, restore your emotional well-being, and reclaim your zest for life.
I use a number of tools including SCIO therapy, a unique bio-feedback system which identifies and then clears imbalances and stressors in the body. It has positive effects in reducing pain, stress and healing traumas.
Guiding families through transition
Family life is constantly evolving, presenting a range of transitions that can bring both joy and challenges.
Whether it's welcoming a new child, navigating adolescence, or coping with loss or divorce, these transitions can strain relationships but equally create an opportunity for bonding and growth.
I offer tailored support for families, helping them navigate these transitions with open communication, healthy coping mechanisms, and renewed strength.
