Somatic Psychotherapist | Focusing Trainer | Trauma Specialist

Online (Australia-wide) | Sydney-based



I’m a somatic psychotherapist with a background in both psychology and counselling, and a deep commitment to body-based, trauma-informed care. I support adults who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or stuck—often after trying many things that didn’t quite reach the heart of their experience. Together, we slow down, build safety, and reconnect with what’s already wise and alive within.

My work integrates clinical insight with gentle, experiential approaches that include Focusing, Somatic EMDR, Transforming Touch, ACT, and NeuroAffective Touch (in training). At its core, my approach honours the body’s natural pace and capacity to heal. You don’t need to relive trauma to feel better. We begin where it feels manageable and build from there—toward more ease, more self-trust, and more connection.

I specialise in early and developmental trauma, nervous system dysregulation, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm. I also work with people who long for deeper embodiment and self-understanding, even if they’re not sure why. My sessions are attuned, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that every part of you is welcome—and that healing happens relationally, in safe-enough spaces.

If you’re drawn to a slower, more body-aware way of working, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
