Psychological Support for Adults Ready to Move Beyond Overwhelm
I love what I do... I love helping people to search for a deeper purpose and a more meaningful experience of life.

You may be functioning well on the outside — responsible, capable, reliable — yet internally feeling stretched, stuck, or carrying more than you can name.
Perhaps you are navigating:
-
Ongoing stress or burnout
-
Life transitions or identity shifts
-
Relational patterns that repeat
-
A sense of disconnection from yourself
-
Emotional overwhelm that thinking alone doesn’t resolve
My work bridges mind and body, insight and regulation — helping you feel more grounded, integrated and at home within yourself.
I offer therapy that honours your inner world and emotional integration — rooted in psychological science and embodied practice. I bring an integrated perspective based on 30 years of experience in psychology, education, guidance and counselling, and psychotherapy.
​
I believe in our innate ability to grow, to expand our experiences of life and to thrive. In today’s fast-paced world, overload and overwhelm are becoming the norm of the day, and distract us from our own intuition and what we know about ourselves.
​
​[My services are not for those with significant (severe) mental illness, if you are in crisis, or if you need a formal psychological assessment or diagnosis. I can refer you to colleagues who specialise in these areas.]

A Sanctuary for your Emotional Well-being
​May we learn that the world within
is the path to live more in balance,
more intuitive,
where we will find solace and peace,
to be renewed
and venture out again
to create a better world.
From one human being to another,
we need each other,
in a space where we can be heard,
listened to,
and therefore able to voice and explore the inner (often silenced parts) of ourselves…
Asking ourselves:
How do we live a life connected to self, others and this planet?
Living with a new consciousness
What matters to us?
What helps us feel well?
hence this home and sanctuary…

Services: Individual Therapy
Integrative, nervous system-informed therapy for thoughtful, capable adults who want more than coping — they want clarity, steadiness and meaningful change.
​
Who I Work With
I work primarily with adults who are:
-
Insightful and reflective
-
High-functioning but internally overwhelmed
-
Carrying long-standing emotional patterns
-
Navigating transitions or identity shifts
-
Wanting embodied understanding, not just intellectual insight
Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, or people used to holding things together for others.
​
My Approach
My work integrates:
-
Nervous system regulation
-
Somatic (body-based) awareness
-
Reflective psychological depth
-
Mindfulness-informed practice
-
Evidence-based therapeutic frameworks
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we explore patterns — gently, at a pace your nervous system can sustain.
This is therapy that supports both insight and embodied change.
