Somatic Psychotherapy in Adelaide
Sometimes understanding why you feel the way you do isn't enough to create lasting change.
Somatic psychotherapy offers another way of exploring our experiences, bringing attention to the body, emotions and nervous system, alongside the stories we carry.
Through a gentle, relational and embodied approach, we can begin to explore the deeper patterns shaping how you feel, relate and experience the world.
A different way of working
You may find yourself repeating familiar patterns, feeling disconnected from yourself or carrying experiences that are difficult to put into words.
My approach recognises that not everything we experience can be understood through thinking or talking alone. By gently bringing awareness to what is happening within us, we create space for new experiences of understanding, connection and change.

I integrate Somatic Psychotherapy, Hakomi-informed principles, Embodied Processing, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Our work is collaborative and unfolds at a pace that respects your individual needs. There is no expectation to have everything figured out before you begin.
