Sometimes what's needed is space to reflect, build insight, and understand your experience more clearly, alongside learning new skills and practicing new ways of responding, thinking, and relating. I offer traditional talk therapy for people who want this kind of structured, collaborative work, often as a starting point before, or alongside, deeper body-based approaches.

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused mind-body therapy that targets unresolved trauma, stored in the deeper brain and nervous system. By locating specific eye positions or ‘brainspots’, emotional distress can be released and processed without having to constantly talk about it. Brainspotting can help with many issues including anxiety, depression, panic, chronic illness and performance.

Internal Family Systems is an empowering approach that recognises that we all have a core essential ‘Self’ as well as a system of protective and wounded ‘parts’. These parts can take on different roles like ‘the inner critic’ or a wounded ‘inner child’ and can often be in conflict and cause us distress and unhappiness. Disentangling from parts and connecting more with one’s ‘core self’ can help to bring healing and internal balance.
