COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

I provide individual & relationship counselling (in private practice since 2014). I embody the principals of non-violence, relational alchemy & organicity in my work. 

 

My broad training, experience & skillset helps me to be flexible in the style & focus of therapy, based on one's individual needs. 

 

Ultimately, I create a safe & nurturing space for people to realise their most authentic selves, from which they can notice, understand & attend to their adaptive patterns & parts of self - on the journey towards more peace & a better quality of life.

 

I help enhance capacity for: 

  • Containment & regulation

  • Mindful exploration of patterns of experience (i.e., around repeating triggers, themes & issues)

  • Understanding of behaviour, reactions, tendencies & beliefs

  • Processing of traumatic material & / or attachment themes

  • Enhancing resources, adaptability & overall functioning

 

It is my experience that people embark on the journey of counselling to reach the most authentic experience of being – as balanced, agile, safe, connected, confident, peaceful & playful human beings. 

 

I welcome you to make contact & to ask any questions that might help you decide if I am the right Counsellor for you. Sending you best wishes for your journey.

​People have typically sought individual counselling with me for a variety of reasons, including difficulties with: 

​

  • Arousal Dysregulation (acute and chronic)

RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING

Relationship Counselling & Psychotherapy can provide couples with the opportunity to process & make sense of their relational dynamic & behavioural patterns in a safe way, leading to healing from negative cycles & unconscious attachment processes & reconnection.

 

Couples have typically sought relationship counselling with me for a variety of reasons, including issues with:

 

  • Trust

  • Infidelity

  • Communication

  • Relationship Distress

  • Loss of Intimacy and / or Emotional Connection

  • Parenting Difficulties / Disagreements

  • Life Stage Changes

​

I aim to help people enhance their understanding of the 'self' & the 'other' in the context of their relationship & through a lens of attachment theory, so that repair, healing and reconnection can be possible. My objective is to create & hold the space for this healing & reconnection to occur. 

 

In the case where seperation has been decided, seperation counselling can help both individuals understand the contributing factors to the relationship breakdown, so as to help them avoid repeating unhelpful patterns of the past in future relationships, as well as helping them achieve closure & direction (including regarding parenting, if applicable).
