Experience and approach:

I am passionate about providing a space of holding to support a deeper connection to self, others, and the natural world around you. I love working at depth with clients, helping them cultivate a more intimate relationship with themselves. I believe in moving at the speed of trust, —recognising that trust, both in ourselves and in our relationships, unfolds naturally and cannot be rushed. This core principle guides my work, allowing us to move through difficult moments and transitions at a pace that feels right for you.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and therapy can provide a supportive space to explore those challenges—whether you're feeling stuck, navigating a life transition, or working toward a deeper connection with yourself.

At the heart of my practice is a belief in the healing power of relationships—both the therapeutic relationship and the relationship we have with ourselves and the world around us.

Creative and Embodied Therapy

When words feel difficult or limiting, creative expression can open up new ways of exploring and understanding ourselves. In our sessions, we may use movement, art materials, sound, or body-based techniques to give voice to what feels stuck or unseen. Creativity can be a powerful catalyst for change, helping us uncover deeper truths and create new ways of being. No prior experience with the arts is required—just a willingness to explore.

Nature-Based and Environmental Arts Therapy

In my practice, I offer Environmental Arts Therapy, a form of therapy that combines the healing power of nature with creative expression. This therapeutic approach uses natural materials and engages in embodied, somatic relationships with the landscape, allowing for a deeper connection with both the natural world and the self. In working with nature’s rhythms, landscapes, materials, and cycles, we create space for transformation and healing, supported by a powerful dialogue between the inner and outer world.

Whether through walking, moving, creating art from natural materials, or simply being present with the land around us, we explore our feelings and experiences in ways that words alone often cannot reach. By tapping into nature’s palette—its textures, sounds, and forms—we can externalise our internal states and deepen our understanding of ourselves and our challenges. Just as nature is in constant flux—through seasons, growth, decay, and renewal—so too are we.

What to Expect

Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to your needs. Whether you’re looking for short-term support to address a specific challenge or a longer-term exploration of your experiences, we will work together to find an approach that feels right for you.
