I am a qualified holistic counsellor with 9 years of professional experience. Through my work I support individuals to identify and resolve disharmonious patterns, and to explore deeper undercurrents of connection, meaning and purpose.

Anxiety and depression are merely symptoms of a deeper cause. Your exploration gives rise to new perceptions, which allow you to access your inner resources, find solutions, and build on your strengths.

I see counselling as a process of self-discovery that allows us to embody greater wholeness, and to integrate such experiences into a larger process of transformative personal development

I see counselling as an opportunity for self-discovery, healing and growth. My role is to assist you to gently explore your lived experience in a non-judgemental environment. The unfolding of our exploration gives rise to new perceptions, which allow you to access your inner resources, find solutions, and build on your strengths.

Our sessions together are an opportunity for you to explore and attend to your inner world. Although often difficult to navigate, our healing process is invariably instructive, an integral part of a much larger process of becoming. Our healing process carries within it invaluable gifts of insight and growth that allow us to move toward wholeness – to live into the fullest expressions of ourselves.

My work within sessions integrates a variety of forms and practices, though foremost among these is listening to the body as it quietly communicates its wisdom through your senses. I listen, find pathways and assist you in giving voice to unheard aspects of being. This evolving articulation affords a direct encounter with what is present in your immediate experience, removed from expectations of how things should be.

Apprehending your experience in this manner gives rise to new perceptions and expanded self-awareness. Ultimately, experiences of healing, insight and transformation rely on the individuals own archaic knowing. My work is to facilitate the circumstances in which you can most readily access that knowing.

Hurts of the past and the adversities of the present as exceptional teachers... radically instructive and deeply meaningful. The teacher and every moment became a rich opportunity for learning, growth and deeper connection. In this way the kindling of spiritual development was ignited.

I am particularly interested in the confluence of western psychology, wilderness self-healing experiences and shamanic practice. To these ends I have studied a degree in Holistic Counselling and engaged in wilderness-based experiential learning with Bill Plotkin's Animas Valley Institute U.S.A. 

By intentionally wandering our inner landscape we wilfully engage in a process of self-discovery, healing and transformation - our exquisite unfoldment.
