Therapy

that honours all of you!

  • All parts of you are met with respect and curiousity

  • Contradictions, ambivalence and uncertainty are welcome

  • Your history AND your present self are important

  • We pay attention to what your body communicates, not just what your mind explains

  • We offer spaciousness and move at your pace

  • An underpinning recognition that no part of you needs to be “fixed”

  • You remain the authority on your own experience

  • Affirming of queer identities and “non-normative” lives

  • Acknowledgment of how culture, power, and social context shape us

  • Space for identity to be fluid, evolving and self-defined

  • A process of remembering your inner knowing

  • Supporting discernment rather than dependence

  • Making room for grief, desire, joy, anger, numbness

  • Developing an honest sense of self, over perfectionism

  • Moving toward living in alignment, over performance

A non-pathologising approach

My work is explicitly queer-affirming, neuro-affirming,  and non-pathologising.

This means your identity, relationships, desires, and ways of being are not treated as problems to be fixed. Difference is not seen as dysfunction, and distress is understood within personal, relational, and social contexts, not reduced to a diagnosis.

Rather than asking “What’s wrong with you?” we explore “What makes sense, given your history, nervous system, and lived experience?”

The ‘right fit’ therapist matters

Psychotherapy is about moving with your unique unfolding process, and is most effective when a trusted rhythm and relationship has been develop with the therapist. This supports a holding sacred space where you feel safe enough to deepen relationship with yourself! Choosing a therapist that feels aligned and supportive in the ways that you need, is an incredibly important step in beginning some deep work.

This is not short-term symptom management, diagnosis, solution-focused or crisis support. It’s a space for people willing to slow down, pay honest attention to their patterns, and meet themselves with intentional care.

Self-awareness here isn’t something to achieve or master. It’s something we practice by noticing how you relate to yourself in your body, emotions, relationships, and daily choices. Together, we pay attention to what’s present, what’s avoided, and what’s asking to be met differently.

Gestalt Therapy

an invitation to awaken to your embodied experience of relating to self and other in the present moment. Where relational patterns, emotions, stories, urges can be revealed, explored and tended to with intentional care.

Somatic Focusing

a gentle journey inward. Calling attention to the felt sense (those subtle, unspoken feelings) and inviting them into the light of awareness. Bringing clarity to inner confusion, allowing unarticulated pain or longing to find expression and release.

Parts Work

an exploration of the inner landscape, where fragmented voices of the self come forth, each holding a story and a purpose. Welcoming these parts with compassion, guiding them into supportive relationship.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
