How I work

I use a trauma-informed, integrated and evidence-based approach that recognises the connection between mind, body and psyche. With over 30 years of experience supporting mental health, trauma and lifestyle challenges, I draw on a wide range of therapeutic tools to support your wellbeing and assist you in navigating difficult experiences with compassion and clarity.
