About Me

With a genuine passion for collaborative work, I like to engage with people in an open, honest, and holistic manner. I am committed to inclusivity, explicitly recognising and valuing:

  • Cultural diversity

  • Neurodivergence 

  • LGBTQIA+ identities

  • Those within sex-positive, kink, and ethical non-monogamous (ENM) communities.

My background contributes to a nuanced and comprehensive approach to well-being, including experience in: 

  • Physical rehabilitation

  • Pain psychology 

  • Hospital and women's clinic settings 

  • Research in women's health; LGBTQIA+ issues; and eating disorders

I am dedicated to creating a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and respected.

My Approach

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, alongside established cognitive and behavioral modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am particularly enthusiastic about the transformative potential of EMDR and the rich opportunities it offers for incorporating *somatic awareness, meditation and mindfulness practices, as well as creative expression into the healing journey. 
 
You can read more about EMDR in my blog posts

*somatic awareness is paying conscious attention to your internal

body states such as physical and emotional sensations
