Individual & couples depth work exploring emotional, cognitive and relational patterns.
Work With Me
How Would You Like to Work Together?
Three pathways — each shaped to meet you where you are and take you somewhere more true.
01 — Therapy
Individual & Couples Therapy.
“Therapy for those seeking self-actualisation and growth beyond crisis management.”
Sessions explore patterns, meanings and ways of being that no longer serve — cultivating presence, resilience and a more authentic connection to life. I draw on evidence-based methods while honouring existential questions about meaning, identity and connection.

Who this work is not for.
This approach is not suitable for individuals in acute crisis — those currently unable to function or requiring immediate stabilisation and specialised intervention. Once stabilised, depth therapy may be appropriate.

What I Speak About
Topics are tailored to the audience — each engagement is shaped around your organisation, conference or gathering.
[nectar_accordion icon_style=”1″ tab_col=”Extra-Color-1″] [nectar_tab title=”01/ Threshold Moments”]Threshold Moments are the crossings between who you have been and who you are becoming — the liminal space as fertile ground for transformation. This talk explores what these moments are, why they arise, and how to work with them rather than against them.[/nectar_tab] [nectar_tab title=”02/ Characteristics of Threshold Moments”]Between states; dissolving old structures; emerging new possibilities; heightened awareness; fertile ground. A deeper look at the phenomenology of transition — what is actually happening when we stand at the edge of becoming.[/nectar_tab] [nectar_tab title=”03/ Working at the Edges of Becoming”]Exploring the patterns and meanings beneath emotional, cognitive and behavioural struggles at moments of personal and professional transition — and what it means to work with rather than against them.[/nectar_tab] [nectar_tab title=”04/ Mindfulness & Presence Practices”]Practical tools for navigating transitions and uncertainty — grounded in UC Berkeley’s evidence-based mindfulness research and adapted for organisations, leaders and practitioners facing change.[/nectar_tab] [nectar_tab title=”05/ Psychology, Philosophy & Personal Narrative”]Integrating depth psychology, existential philosophy and personal narrative in professional contexts — a framework for meaning-making that bridges the academic and the deeply personal.[/nectar_tab] [/nectar_accordion]Audience 01
