Embodied Breath Based Psychotherapy

Making the choice to enter into therapy requires courage and curiosity.

My work is grounded in the breath and focusses on direct and embodied experience.

Processwork encourages a wholistic approach . We will work with body, mind and spirit, awakening a deeper understanding of your own inner processes and to set you free from narratives and trauma which no longer hold power.
