about me

my therapeutic approach

Following the breadcrumbs… my life experience, creative endeavours, professional and community leadership roles for organisations, initiatives and movements at the confluence of personal, social and environmental change… has led me to where I am today.

On a personal level I’ve experienced loss and heartbreak, relationship challenges, dark nights of the soul, as well as illuminating glimmers, gifts as I alchemised the gold along the way. Amongst it all, I have learnt to be with uncertainty and embrace the full spectrum of life, in the process of midwifing my own transformation.

I’m fascinated by what it means to be truly human (especially in these times) and am devoted to supporting others to live into the questions on their soul path.

As a life long student, I’m dedicated to doing my own inner work. I believe it’s an ongoing process and essential to guiding others with integrity. I undertake regular professional training, supervision and mentoring.

I am committed to decolonising and becoming a good ancestor and better ally to the oppressed, exiled and marginalised, within and without.

I see myself as an apprentice to the Mystery, an edgewalker and co-creatrix.

I enjoy marvelling at quiet wonders, and delight in how the colours of the sea and sky are always in flux. For me walking along the beach near my home is a sacred practice that brings me inspiration and renewal.

Process Oriented Psychology is the bedrock of my therapeutic approach. An innovative awareness-based modality with roots in Jungian Depth Psychology, it is based on the understanding that life’s intelligent, evolutionary impulse is always moving through us. Rather than pathologising, it recognises challenges, or disruptions, as opportunities to move towards wholeness.

Person-centred and trauma-informed, my approach honours wisdom sourced in ancient traditions and is also informed by the new frontiers science, grounded in embodied presence and Soul-led, heArtful living.

Building on a foundation of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I draw from a spectrum of modalities including myth, narrative, somatics, creative arts therapies, nature connection, dreamwork, as well as ritual, ceremony and shamanic practices.

I weave together cyclical wisdom, sacred ecology, quantum physics, neuroscience, systems theory, psycho-spiritual alchemy and animist perception.
