These are core values which are infused through my work, and also my life. When you work with me - whether that's as an individual, in a couple, or part of a group, this is what you can expect:

Learning

Discovery, growth, understanding, experience

My intention is to help you understand yourself better. I believe we often learn best by experiencing – and that there is something to learn from almost every experience.

Integrity

Honesty, clarity, trustworthy, accountability

I aspire to be a ‘safe pair of hands’ and I take my responsibility for your wellbeing seriously. This means respecting your autonomy, limits and wisdom - as well as trusting my own.

Care

Safety, kindness, attentiveness, supportive

I’m led by you and your needs. I offer a gentle, reliable presence so that all parts of you can feel as welcome, held, and safe as possible.

Permission

Accepting, non-judgmental, shame-free, encouraging

I lead by example. I bring my real self, and genuine curiosity, to help you feel comfortable following your own impulses – no matter what they are.

Grounded

Embodied, mindful, slow, spacious

My work is anchored in principles which are embodied (felt) and mindful (aware). I slow things down so you have capacity to learn more without feeling overwhelmed.
