Adults, children and teens

Holistic Psychotherapy

In Holistic Psychotherapy sessions I offer a space for you or your child to be exactly as you are, to be deeply heard and to get to the heart of what is difficult. I work with adults, children and teens, taking a whole-person approach that considers thoughts, emotions, body, spirit, relationships and sense of meaning.

I believe that you are the one who knows your own experience best. Rather than the therapist having all the answers, we work collaboratively, guided by your own internal wisdom and what feels true for you. My role is to listen with care and compassion, and to support you to explore what is asking for your attention, with curiosity and without judgement.

Our sessions might be a space to understand yourself more deeply, explore emotions or patterns that feel difficult, reconnect with your needs, or find a greater sense of clarity about a way forward. Sometimes we may work with what is happening in the body, noticing sensations, breath and nervous system responses. Working somatically, with the body can offer a doorway for connecting with and processing our experiences. At other times, we might explore beliefs or stories you hold about yourself and your life, while we find ways to make space for what is present for you.

My areas of experience include supporting people navigating parenting and family life, childhood experiences, complex emotions, life transitions, purpose and meaning, and varied forms of grief. I offer my support with a trauma-informed practice.

Our sessions may support you to:

  • develop greater self-understanding and self-compassion
  • connect more deeply with your own needs and inner guidance
  • explore and understand emotions and patterns
  • find ways to work with stress, strong emotions or nervous system responses
  • navigate parenting, family life and relationships
  • move through life transitions and periods of change
  • make space for grief and difficult experiences
  • explore questions around a sense of meaning and what is important to you
  • feel more supported and connected to yourself and others
  • explore different ways of responding when familiar patterns no longer feel helpful

Throughout our work, I bring an approach that offers choice and personal autonomy, respecting your own pace and boundaries.

My intention is to create a warm, supportive relationship where you can listen more deeply to yourself and find your own way forward. I bring compassion, care and insight to our work.

What might a session involve?

Every session is different and is guided by you, what you are looking for and what feels supportive in the moment. I offer a deeply compassionate space for what’s difficult, whether these are current or past experiences that hold pain or trauma. Depending on your needs, sessions may include:

  • talking and reflective conversation
  • gentle therapeutic enquiry
  • exploring thoughts, beliefs, needs and relationships
  • body awareness and somatic practices
  • therapeutic guided imagery and metaphor and meditations
  • breath and nervous system regulation
  • mindfulness practices
  • exploring and expressing emotions
  • noticing and making space for what you are feeling
  • preparing for a difficult conversation or situation
  • exploring different ways of responding to stress or high emotion
  • drawing on spiritual principles and nature connection imagery for remembering wholeness, where these feel supportive

One-on-one and parent–child sessions

I am passionate about working with parents and children and would love to support you and your child or teen with

– Children and teens one-on-one play-based yoga, mindfulness and holistic psychotherapy

-Parent and child play-based yoga, mindfulness and holistic psychotherapy

  • Learning breathing, relaxation and mindfulness skills with yoga, connection and fun
  • A therapeutic focus on areas you’d like to work on with your child or to support your child with holistic psychotherapy

For children and teens, building self-belief, emotional understanding, and healthy, connected relationships are often key areas.
