What I Offer
  • Individual Therapy – personalised, trauma-informed support to build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and long-term wellbeing.
  • Relationship Therapy – for couples wanting safer communication, deeper attunement, and healthier patterns of connection.
  • Somatic Therapy - NeuroAffective Touch® + Biodynamic Craniosacral methods – a gentle, body-centred approach that supports nervous system regulation, trauma integration, and a deeper felt sense of internal safety. This work is grounded in the understanding that early relational and developmental experiences shape how the body learns to respond to stress, connection, and threat. Through attuned, consent-based somatic and touch-informed psychotherapy, we support the nervous system to gradually release protective patterns, soften held survival responses, and restore capacity for presence, connection, and emotional regulation.
  • Individual Supervision – reflective space for practitioners,
  • Group Supervision – coming soon,
