Introduction
I am an integrative psychotherapist and coach specialising in stress resilience & nervous system health. I combine a range of experience & training in psychology, health sciences, functional movement, breathwork, nutrition and polyvagal nervous system theory.
I offer:
- Medium & long term psychotherapeutic coaching
- Short term stress resilience training
- Functional breath coaching for stress reduction and/or athletic development
Psychotherapy clients who come to me often express concerns around one or more of the following:
- Inability to feel content
- Disrupted sleep / insomnia
- Stress or anxiety levels that diminish quality of life
- Chronic irritability or tension
- Chronic health issues
- A sense of needing to ‘fix’ something but aren’t sure what that something is
- Feelings of shame or stuckness
- Feelings of dysregulation mentally, physically, or both
- History of trauma
- Difficulty with breathing
My work is nervous system based and treats the body as an intelligent entity that needs to be heard. I help clients explore their relationship to their own nervous system & find practices to support their stress resilience. In order to support a range of goals, I offer short term coaching as well as open-ended psychotherapy.
A good working relationship is the foundation of any coaching or therapy. I offer a 20 minute exploratory video call to see if my approach is a good fit for your needs. Please enquire below to book a session.
