My practice is underpinned by a simple belief: we thrive when we're truly seen, heard and met exactly as we are, without judgment or agenda.
> Every person is whole and innately wise - therapy honours this wholeness rather than seeking to "fix" perceived brokenness
> All human experiences carry value and intelligence - including grief, anger, despair, stillness and other experiences that society tries to rush past
> Healing emerges through relationship and community
> Individual wellbeing and collective wellbeing are inseparable
> Individual problems exist within broader societal, cultural, political, historical and ecological contexts that all influence our experiences
> Diversity in all forms is celebrated as essential to collective wisdom and growth
> Therapy aims to empower people and cultivate self-trust
> Ideas of health & wellbeing differ from person to person and can include a multitude of aspects
I believe that meaningful change isn't about “finding solutions to problems”. Instead, it unfolds naturally when we bring genuine attention to our experiences and nurture connections - with ourselves, each other, and the world we live in.
Life is not what you alone make it. Life is the input of everyone who touched your life and every experience that entered it. We are all part of one another.
