Supporting You Through Your Journey

Supporting You Through Your JourneySupporting You Through Your Journey

My Approach

I offer a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach that works with the whole of you — not just your thoughts, but your body, your emotions, your patterns, and your lived experience.


This means we’re not just talking about what’s going on — we’re gently working with your nervous system, your emotional responses, and the deeper layers that shape how you feel and relate.


Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I draw from a range of approaches including attachment theory, somatic (body-based) work, and nervous system regulation. These are woven together into a personalised process that meets you where you are.


You won’t be forced into a rigid structure or expected to “think your way” out of your experiences. Instead, we work at a pace that feels safe, supporting you to build awareness, process what’s underneath, and create lasting change from within.


I believe you are not broken — and that you already hold the capacity to grow, heal, and move toward a more secure and grounded way of being. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, safety, and a space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself.


If at any point your needs extend beyond what I offer, I will always support you in finding the right care elsewhere.


When I speak about healing, I’m not referring to fixing something that’s wrong with you. I’m speaking about creating space for the parts of you that have felt overwhelmed, unheard, or held in the body — so they can be safely processed and integrated.


As this happens, the nervous system begins to settle, and many of the emotional and physical symptoms you may be experiencing can begin to ease naturally.

The Modalities I Use

Building Awareness

Embodied Processing (Somatic therapy)

Attachment Style Therapy

When clients are informed and educated at a deep level about their issues and the root-cause of these issues, it helps to reduce shame and bring forth curiosity. It helps empower them to change in the areas they wish. 

Attachment Style Therapy

Embodied Processing (Somatic therapy)

Attachment Style Therapy

This modality helps people uncover their subconscious patterns and behaviours. We uncover their attachment style, whether it's Anxious, Dismissive Avoidant, Fearful Avoidant or Secure Attachment. This modality shines a light on what we do in relationships and why. Once we can see things through an attachment lens, the road to transformation becomes a lot clearer and simpler to navigate. 

Embodied Processing (Somatic therapy)

Embodied Processing (Somatic therapy)

Embodied Processing (Somatic therapy)

Talk therapy has its place, but in order to completely heal and transform, we need to 'Feel it to heal it.' We can't talk our way out of a feeling problem. This is where somatic (Soma = body) modalities come into play. Gently and safely, we process stored emotions and trauma out of the nervous system. 

Trauma-informed Therapy

Acceptance and commitment therapy

Embodied Processing (Somatic therapy)

An important lens to be able to see people through in order to address issues from the root-cause. If we don't address issues from the root-cause, then we will remain stuck, cycling through the same issues over and over again. Band-aid approaches might feel good short term, but they never last. 

Nervous System Regulation

Acceptance and commitment therapy

Acceptance and commitment therapy

Helping people to be with their triggers and learn how to emotionally regulate instead of unconsciously reacting. Education around Fight, Flight, Freeze and Fawn - Their functions and how to shift into calmer, conscious, balanced states. 

Acceptance and commitment therapy

Acceptance and commitment therapy

Acceptance and commitment therapy

Mindfulness based behavioural therapy that helps individuals live a more meaningful life by accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with their values. 

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Helps to recondition/reprogram the mind from a subconscious level. I pair it with somatic therapy in order to make the process whole. Trauma is stored in the body, which is why intellectual/cognitive healing is only a part of the process. 

Inner child and parts work

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Reparenting the parts of us that were wounded in childhood and being the loving parent to ourselves now in order to heal/integrate those parts. An understanding that we are all made up of different parts, parts that protect, parts that are wounded, parts that are light and dark.
