My Specialties & Services
I specialise in trauma informed counselling and somatic therapy and have completed the year long professional training in Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry. I also provide consultations for individuals, schools and parents, focusing on environments conducive to ADHD management and other emotional and behavioural issues.
Individual Counselling
Encompassing a range of therapeutic approaches, I support adults and teens to manage mental and emotional challenges. I have special knowledge in areas including, but not limited to ADHD, depression and burnout.
Compassionate Inquiry
Sessions informed by Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry to delve deep into emotional issues, aiding in the healing of CPTSD, anxiety, depression and many other challenges, through compassionate therapeutic engagement. This approach has a strong somatic element.
Reiki Energy Healing
Offering Reiki, both in-person and remotely, Reiki can address mental, spiritual, and emotional challenges, promoting holistic healing. I have extensive experience with animals and my reiki practice is also open to them.
My Approach
My approach is based on the holistic, heavily trauma-informed approach of professionals such as Gabor Mate, Peter Levine and Bessel Van de Kalk. Many of our emotional and mental actions and reactions, all of our defenses and addictions, many of our aches, pains and illnesses and a large part of our personality can be found in the body and traced back to early experience.
Through a deeper understanding of ourselves, self-compassion and radical self-acceptance. I will guide you closer to your authentic self; the strongest and most peaceful part of you, through psychotherapeutic and somatic methods. Reiki energy healing is a wonderful compliment to these therapies.
