maybe its about unbecoming everything that isn't you
so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place"

H o w I W o r k
Having a foundational training in Gestalt Therapy
provides a solid underpinning to my work.
My other training in Ericksonian Hypnosis, Emotional Freedom TechniquE (tapping),
Group Work/Circle Way, Reiki & Shamanic Gestalt Therapy Training
expands how I can be with my clients in a unique, unconventional
and flexible way.
The people who are drawn to working with me are often open individuals
who themselves have a
yearning to explore beyond the confines of traditional 'talk-therapy'.
They are ready to allow their unfolding and explore newness.
I work relationally which means that through the use of
Awareness, Dialogue & Support in the Here and Now,
it is possible to break out of old ways of being
and create new opportunities for growth and connection.
I have been described as 'solid, intuitive, grounded, direct and challenging'.
As well as 'gentle, compassionate, insightful and safe'.
supportive, aware, ethical with clear boundaries.
I welcome your email enquiry and I will assess whether I am able to assist you.
I am always open to recommending other skilled therapists
if I believe you would be better served through working with another.
I am committed to working with people who are committed to their process.

When called to, I host local Women's Circles. These Circles provide a safe place for women to relate to each other and themselves with the support of each other and myself.
We dive deep with open heartedness, curiosity and response-ability.
R e a d i n g s
I have been reading for people since I was a teenager. Readings can provide clarity on issues that are outside our conscious ways being. My way of reading is straightforward and open. They are a mix of channelled information and tarot.
