My Story
I studied Dramatherapy because of its focus on healing and connecting with the âwell-selfâ through playful, body-based and creative exploration. As I progressed through my training and personal therapy, I began to recognise how my studies were allowing me to not only explore my own emotional story, but also to discover and celebrate parts of me that had been hidden for many, many years. I began to feel more alive and âwhole, and connected with my passions, interests and values.
The natural world has always been an important place for me to be since my childhood; it continues to offer me a sense of comfort, perspective and a feeling of being fully alive - a place where I can feel at home.
The therapeutic approach I offer is shaped by the tools and environments that have helped me reconnect with my own healthy self. I aim to provide a down-to-earth and compassionate space where my clients can feel comfortable exploring their experiences and struggles, and discovering how to achieve what they are seeking.
When Iâm not working or caring for my family, youâll usually find me searching out hills to walk with my dog, Otto, rowing, baking, needle-felting, or weaving.
