My story

My story began through my own personal journey in self-development. Despite having been in therapy before, my therapeutic experience in 2018 felt different. I entered it with clear intentions - I wanted to take responsibility for my role in the patterns that kept repeating in my life, even though life had thrown its share of challenges my way. As I worked diligently, session after session, through anxiety, unresolved life events, and more, I began noticing rapid growth in self-awareness. But I would eventually come to realise that much of the work had been primarily cognitive, which was a significant and valuable first step in my process, but I still felt stuck.

 

So what next?

 

I was aware, yet many of the patterns still held power over my life. Fast forward a few years, and halfway through my Master's in Gestalt Psychotherapy, I was seeking something deeper. That's when I discovered somatic work. Reconnecting with my body was the missing piece. This was the first step in my personal somatic journey, which continues to this day. With this new insight, I pursued somatic studies during the final stages of my master's program whilst continuing to integrate somatic practices into my own personal life.

My work

Professionally, I am a Gestalt psychotherapist who integrates the body as a powerful tool for accessing and healing unprocessed parts of ourselves. I offer three options to support clients in navigating attachment struggles, anxiety, nervous system regulation, and other challenges:

 

  • Therapy: Focusing on emotional and psychological healing using Gestalt techniques such as awareness, acceptance and integration, authentic relating, and present-moment focus.

 

  • Somatic Coaching: A body-centered approach that promotes nervous system regulation by safely accessing and releasing pain, stuckness, and other struggles. This can be done as a standalone approach or can be used by clients as a modality complimentary to their existing therapeutic journey.

 

  • A Blend of Both: Combining therapy and somatic coaching to create a tailored, holistic approach that meets each client's unique needs.

 

In all of my work, my goal is to help clients develop deeper self-awareness, build resilience, and achieve lasting healing.
