My practice

​​

My practice is inspired by the flame as a potent image of renewal and transformation, and the liberating warmth of authentic connection. 

​

Our inner flame can be seen as our unique nature - our own expression of being. This work can be about exploring what that is - and how it may have got split off, gone underground, got lost somewhere along the way. We will take symptoms seriously - the things that might bring you to therapy - while also listening to them carefully as indications - signs of something wanting to change or become more conscious. Following this unfolding process with presence and gentle attentiveness can help bring into being a greater sense of acceptance, aliveness or wholeness. 

​​

My work is deeply grounded in the somatic, body psychotherapy tradition. This can be useful for working with many aspects: from complex trauma and early attachment difficulties to being more present, aware and in touch with self and other in the here and now.

I also hold space for the wider aspects of being - the transpersonal and soulful dimensions that can provide resource and strength in our day to day lives, and potentially bring new perspective to longstanding issues.

I've found working relationally to be an important holding container that grounds the work and increases the potential for lasting change.
