Description
I work from a body/mind approach to counselling that considers the whole person. I use mindfulness techniques to help regulate nervous system activation and support bringing clients back into equilibrium and balance in both body and mind. I also use client centered talk therapy to compassionately explore one's struggles, thoughts and beliefs and to help integrate the past so that it no longer has a hold on the present. Please reach out to book a free 20 minute phone consultation where we can talk more and you can see if my practice feels like the right fit for you.
