Individual Therapy

Mind & body-based therapy to transform your relationship to yourself and those around you.

Within each challenge is a force that inspires you to welcome home the parts of you that have been shamed & suppressed, so that you can embrace all that you are.

Are you looking for an alternative approach to talk therapy?

  • Do you feel trapped in your own mind & its incessant thinking?

  • Is fear, anxiety, stress holding you back from living your potential?

  • Do you feel burn out from living life & not honouring your truth?

  • Do you struggle to express how you really feel, and find yourself feeling unseen, unmet and disconnected in your relationships?

  • Do you feel disconnected from your body, your feelings and have trouble trusting your intuition or instincts?

  • Do you have a history of people pleasing and are ready to shift this?

In session, we will co-create a safe space so that you can be heard without judgement. We will explore your relationship to yourself and the world around. We move at a pace that honours your individual needs & focus on resourcing you with the tools you need to thrive. When appropriate, we may dive more deeply into your unconscious patterning to discover the root cause of the challenges you may be experiencing. The approach taken is person-centred, trauma-informed, non-pathological and built on a foundation of openness, acceptance, curiosity & compassion.

Therapeutic Modalities used:

  • Process-Oriented Psychology

    Process-Oriented Psychology (also known as Process Work) is a psychotherapeutic modality that focuses on understanding the human experience through the present moment. It does this by working with the entire spectrum of human consciousness through the sensory experience.

  • Internal Family Systems

    Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an integrative approach to individual psychotherapy, that identifies that we are made up of different sub-personalities (parts), each with its own unique beliefs and qualities. IFS focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the sub-personalities and the Self.

  • Somatic Therapy

    Somatic therapy is a form of body-centered therapy that looks at the connection of mind and body and uses both psychotherapy and physical therapies for holistic healing. In addition to talk therapy, somatic therapy practitioners use mind-body exercises and other physical techniques to help release the pent-up tension that negatively affects a patient’s physical and emotional wellbeing.

  • Polyvagal Theory

    Polyvagal Theory is a map that describes the physiological & psychological states which underlie our daily behaviour. It helps us understand how it is that trauma lives in the body and continues to shape our world. It emphasises the role the autonomic nervous system - especially the vagus nerve - and how its role in regulating our health and behaviour.

  • Dreamwork

    Dreams are formulations and continuations of waking thoughts, concerns, emotions, and memories and are therefore unique to each individual. Thus, only you can verify the purpose, message, or meaning of the dream. As a therapist, I guide you into the exploration of your dream, allowing you to discover meaning for yourself.

  • Art Therapy

    Art therapy involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, colouring, or sculpting to help people express their inner world. The nonverbal messages, symbols, and metaphors often found in these art forms, can support a client to a better understanding of their feelings and behaviour so they can move on to resolve deeper problems.

  • Focusing

    Focusing is an experiential, embodied and evidence-based practice of self-reflection. During Focusing, your attention will open up to multiple layers and aspects of living by focusing in on the ‘felt sense’. This practice shows how to apply open attention to something which is directly experienced but is not necessarily in words.
