Services
Somatic Psychotherapy
Integrates physical awareness with psychological processing to address anxiety and trauma. Utilises body sensations, movement, and breathing techniques to access deeper emotional patterns. Proven effective for clients who find traditional talk therapy insufficient, this approach helps rewire nervous system responses and break chronic stress cycles.
Anxiety Counselling
Specialised support for panic attacks, chronic worry, and overwhelm. Combines polyvagal theory with practical tools to calm physiological symptoms. Focuses on building resilience through somatic techniques that interrupt anxiety's physical manifestations while addressing underlying cognitive patterns.
Trauma Therapy
Addresses both single-incident and developmental trauma using body-oriented approaches. Helps process stored memories through movement and nervous system regulation. Targets defensive patterns developed from past experiences while building present-moment resourcing.
Neurodiverse Support
Tailored interventions for autistic and neurodivergent clients navigating overwhelm and burnout. Adaptable sessions respecting sensory needs and communication preferences. Focuses on nervous system regulation while challenging neurotypical expectations that contribute to distress.
Movement Therapy
Uses guided movement to access and release stored emotional tension. Helps clients develop body awareness through non-verbal self-expression. Combines dance therapy principles with trauma-informed practices to facilitate emotional integration and pattern recognition.

Questions
What is somatic psychotherapy?
Somatic psychotherapy integrates body awareness with psychological treatment, using movement, breathwork, and physical sensations to address mental health concerns. It helps process trauma stored in the body while developing nervous system regulation skills.
Do you work with neurodiverse clients?
Yes, I specialise in neurodiverse-affirming therapy. Sessions adapt to sensory needs and communication preferences, focusing on nervous system regulation rather than forcing neurotypical behavioural expectations.
What qualifications do you hold?
I have a Master of Mental Health (Psychotherapy), Advanced Clinical Skills in Somatics, Brainspotting certification, and multiple somatic therapy qualifications. I'm a clinical member of PACFA and DTAA.
Are sessions available online?
Yes, I offer secure video counselling via Zoom for clients across Australia. Online sessions maintain the same somatic focus through adapted movement and awareness techniques.
What are your cancellation policies?
I require 48 hours' notice for cancellations. Missed appointments without notice incur full fees, with exemptions for illness or emergencies. Please reschedule through our online system or contact us directly.
