Work with me

My work, and the practice of Focusing, stems from the core idea that our bodies want to be listened to.

That we have the inner capacity to grow and heal.

You, and your body, lead the process.

Focusing is creating a container for those parts of us that want and need our attention.

Want to become known and listened to.

A session may focus on an issue you are wanting to understand and resolve.

On emotions or behaviours you would like some resolution and change.

Or it may be more exploratory. Open to wants to emerge at this time.

Focusing is often surprising.

Tuning into the felt sense we discover something unknown and unexpected.

Beneath the emotion we are aware of may be another.

Beneath our understanding of an issue we may come to see aspects we had not been aware of or appreciated.

Focusing moves at a pace we can manage and integrate.

It honours our capacity just as it increases our ability to be with ourselves and those feelings and situations that are challenging.

Focusing has a therapeutic aspect.

While I have received extensive training, and am trauma-informed, I am not a registered therapist or counsellor and will refer people on if their mental health issues are outside my scope of practice.
