Psychotherapy and Somatic Trauma Support
In-person at Smithfield, SA & Online
I offer both in-person therapy at Smithfield, South Australia, and online psychotherapy, with a commitment to meeting you exactly where you are. Together, we create a space where you can slow down, turn your attention inward, and connect with the parts of yourself that may have been suppressed, silenced, or burdened by past experiences.
By gently listening to your body, your emotions, and your internal world, we support your capacity to be with your direct experience—helping you feel more present, connected, and grounded in your life.
Healing is not about pushing through or fixing what feels broken. It is about bringing curiosity, kindness, and acceptance to the places within you that have carried pain, fear, or shame. When we approach ourselves in this way, the weight of the past begins to soften, allowing space for new patterns, greater ease, and genuine self-compassion to emerge.
Whether you're working through trauma, feeling stuck in familiar cycles, or seeking deeper understanding and growth, I tailor each session to your needs—drawing on a range of evidence-based and somatic approaches that support healing through the mind-body connection. These somatic practices recognise that our emotional experiences are not only held in the mind but are also stored and expressed through the body.
Somatic trauma work allows us to meet the parts of you that may not have words, working gently with nervous system responses, sensations, and body-held memories. Rather than focusing only on talking, this approach honours the body’s wisdom and its role in your healing journey.

What to Expect
Finding the right therapist is an important part of your healing journey. I prioritise building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect, and genuine care. This is your space, and I am here to support you at your pace—without pressure or judgement.

- A warm, safe, and non-judgemental environment

- Collaborative goal-setting based on what matters most to you
- Tailored interventions drawing on somatic and parts-based approaches

Somatic work encourages us to slow down and notice what’s happening beneath the surface, helping you build capacity to stay present with your emotions, sensations, and inner experience. This supports the release of long-held patterns of stress, tension, and emotional overwhelm.
