About me

You are here, meaning you probably need a listening ear and a bit of guidance out a dark place. I come to the counselling profession from an engineering and business environment, of which I had become terribly bored of. I am also a trained yoga teacher and I love incorporating aspects of mindfulness in talking therapy. It has been a meaningful, incredible journey that has inspired me to keep anchoring in my truth whenever doubt and uncertainty presented themselves. I am inspired by beauty, honesty, courage and creativity in my life and in my work. I seek harmony and peace for myself and others, in every interaction.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Trauma informed careRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.

I am a professionally trained Integrative Counsellor, experienced in trauma-work. My basis is in the Rogerian humanistic belief that we all have the answers we are seeking buried deep inside ourselves, and we need the space and time to discover them. I am trained in different therapeutic modalities, Gestalt, Psychodynamic and Deep Brain Reorienting being the most used approaches. My work is deeply inspired by Dr. Tara Brach's mindful self-compassion, Dr. Gabor Matè's Compassionate Inquiry method and Dr. Stephen Porges's Polyvagal Theory. I prioritise the wellbeing of your nervous system with every intervention. We can explore your window of tolerance whilst processing and how to bring yourself back to a healthy, balanced state of relating.
