I trained as a humanistic therapist with a focus on relational work, whereby the relationship built with my client, provides a lens on the relationships in their lives, with themselves and the various parts of themselves. I strive to be completely non-judgemental, fully accepting and completely authentic, thereby offering and modelling to the client a way of being that they may not be used to but do need, especially when they are going through difficult times. I also like to work in a body-focused approach, using changes noticed in the body during a session to connect with emotions and thoughts that are spoken about. I also like to offer breathwork in a a session if I feel like a client could benefit from it.
I have been polyamorous for over 5 years and along with my therapeutic work, have learnt and applied communication skills, ownership of insecurities, how to take responsibility for my own needs and feelings, distinguishing between my feelings and that of others and working with attachment insecurity. The clients that I have worked with have often presented with anxiety, depression, past trauma (including PTSD), relationship problems and transitions, neuro-divergent clients and LGBTQ+ clients.
