Be Held Where You Are.
Let me hold space for You to Be as you Need to Be. No expectations, no obligations, just a space to be held while you unfold, fall apart, unravel, open, whatever you need to do! I will walk alongside you on this journey, a gentle presence to reassure, question, reflect, whatever you need me to be. I will be guided by you, going where you want me to, or where it seems the work is taking us, but always within your limits.

About me and my practice
Giving a 'vocal' voice to what lies within us can be a powerful and life changing experience. Counselling can give you the space to explore your inner world thru speaking it. I also know that sometimes, what lies within, cannot be expressed by our vocal voice alone, but by one that talks thru movement, physical tension, chronic illness, sleepless nights, pain, this I call the Subtle Voice. Thru a combination of talking and somatic - body based - therapies, we can work together to access that which needs expression and release within You. In addition to the Integrative Approaches using Humanistic, Psychodynamic, and Behavioural modalities, I can also offer guided somatic sessions to work with you when words alone won't suffice.
Experience
In addition to my Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, I am trained in Yoga, Craniosacral therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques, and Bodywork, to name a few. I came to talking therapies later in my adult life, after twenty plus years of working as a body based practitioner. Thru working with many people, as well as on myself, I came to realise that a combined approach, talking and body-based, could provide a holistic way of working with deeply held emotions. During the pandemic i took my private practice online, and was amazed at the results that a combined talking and somatic approach could have on my clients. As a Trauma Informed bodyworker I know how the body holds certain emotions, and how easily talking can re-trigger a person. Thru gently moving between talking and somatic awareness - your felt sense in your body - these 'stuck' emotions can be gently released.
I have worked with all ages from children to adults. I am a specialist mentor with secondary school age children with autism, as well as counselling children and young people from 12-25. I work with Neurodiverse and neurotypical clients. Understanding that a one size fits all approach doesn't work, i work collaboratively to find what works for You.
