I work with:
Your protective mechanisms - Understanding the protective parts you have that formed from what childhood taught you about yourself
Your body - The physical ways your nervous system shows itself
Your unconscious - Uncovering the hidden beliefs running your life
Your relational frames - Having your experience met with attunment, learning it’s safe to be honest and yourself, can be one of the most transformative aspects of therapy.
Your wholeness - Recognising that no symptom occurs in isolation.
The part that leaves the biggest impact on us is often what wasn’t there. Anyone who grew up accumulating moments where their feelings were inconvenient, and expression felt or was unwelcome.. learns that to have connection with others, you disconnect from yourself.
This makes for adults who feel constant pressure, profound loneliness, and are missing fundamental inner resources to actually thrive. You're still trying to figure out the rules to earn the unconditional love you ache for. These patterns don't just fade. They need specific attention. Your psyche likely still has the same worldview it did when you were growing up.
THE MISSION
THE MISSION
I believe authenticity represents one of humanity's most precious resources and is essential to living a full, meaningful life. Developmental trauma is one of the biggest suppressants of authenticity.
Through 5 years of practice with adults who have experienced varies forms of emotional neglect, I've learnt, your authentic self isn't and cannot be lost.
It's suppressed under layers of protection you built to survive. When those protective layers can finally dissolve, what emerges isn't something new you have to become.
It's who you've always been underneath all the pressure to protect yourself. That's when real life starts.
THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT RELIEF... IT’S ABOUT REVIVAL.
Somatic Therapy
Your body tells the story of what your mind cannot articulate. During our sessions, you will notice me paying close attention to subtle shifts in your body language, a change in breath, posture or momentary facial expression.
These physical expressions provide direct insight into how past experiences are currently 'held' in your nervous system. Most importantly, these insights reveal exactly what corrective experiences are needed to update and change your system.
IFS
In Internal family Systems (IFS) or sometimes known as ‘parts work’, we look at your symptoms not as problems, but as protectors. The sudden shut down or the loud inner critic.. is actually a part of you that stepped in during your childhood to keep protect you from something.
Using parts work, we work on these aspects of the personality to help there be a felt sense of enough safety, that these protector parts can stop working so hard. This allows your core Self to take the lead, bringing a sense of internal peace you may not have felt since before trauma occurred.
Depth Psychology
Depth Psychology is the study of the Unseen Architecture of our life. It operates on the principle that your conscious mind is only the tip of the iceberg; the vast majority of your choices, reactions, and beliefs are driven by the "imprints" and "unconscious rules" formed in your early years.
Most people struggle with achieving goals, not because they lack willpower, but because their unconscious mind has commitments that are in direct conflict with the conscious goals. Depth Psychology bridges this gap and allows the barriers between where you are and what you desire to dissolve.
