Individual Therapy



Therapy sessions are offered at Altum Health


My therapeutic approach is relational, collaborative, and integrative. Whilst informed by the evidence base, my practice is not defined or limited by it.

I do not believe in a one size fits all approach as every human being has an utterly unique body-mind and soul composition that requires careful and individualized attention.


I work sensitively with my client's cultural and social backgrounds, with careful consideration of the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual factors that contribute to who they are and how they experience the world.


Our therapeutic relationship will always be at the forefront of our work together. This means I will work alongside you, at your pace, to help you understand and work through the difficulties you are hoping to resolve or change. ​



I believe that so-called "symptoms" that feel ‘crazy’, ‘out of control’ or ‘bad’, are coded with intelligence, meaning they are messengers from your internal system that something is off kilter and needs deeper investigation, holding, and healing.



Befriending Your Nervous System and Your Body



Emotion regulation | Embodiment | Interoceptive Awareness



As a body-centred and trauma-informed practitioner, I believe that healing must include the entire body and not only the mind. In my approach, your body is viewed as a wise teacher that can help you develop a more trusting, attuned, and compassionate relationship with yourself.


I will help you make sense of and strengthen your understanding of deeply ingrained patterns of emotions, sensations, thoughts and beliefs that are keeping you stuck.


I will also show you how you can begin to support yourself, regain personal agency, and feel safer in your own skin, especially when you are feeling triggered within a self-compassionate framework.


With time, you will learn how to befriend your body, mind and nervous system and develop the skills of emotion regulation, embodiment and interoceptive awareness through our sessions. These skills will allow you to respond to your life in a different way and feel more assured in taking the necessary risks toward creating a life that you truly value.

When a woman enters the labyrinth of recovery she follows a twisting, turning, winding path to her centre where she reclaims her inner authority. Finding the essence of who she is as a woman, she exits the labyrinth, integrating this vision with a new way of being in the world."

The great thing then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally as opposed to our enemy.

Meditation Training and Mentoring



I continue to sustain a regular meditation practice and have done so for the last 10 years. I have witnessed the profound effects meditation has had on my life and well-being and am always delighted and humbled to share this skill with students. In brief, meditation can be seen as a self-care practice that will help you develop greater levels of self-awareness, inner balance, compassion and peace. These sessions will help you develop the confidence to establish a daily meditation practice, or strengthen your existing understanding/practice of meditation. I typically recommend 8 weeks of dedicated 1 to 1 mentoring.

...Meditation doesn't change life.
Life remains as fragile and unpredictable as ever.
Meditation changes the heart's capacity to accept life as it is.
