INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
You've tried everything you know. It's still there.
You’ve probably tried to think your way through it. Read the right books, understood the patterns, maybe done some therapy before. And still — something remains. Not a crisis. Just a persistent gap between who you know yourself to be and how you actually feel in your body, in your relationships, in the quiet moments when the busyness stops.
That gap is where this work begins.
WHAT BRINGS PEOPLE HERE
It doesn’t have to be a crisis to deserve attention.
Some people come with a clear issue — anxiety that won’t shift, a relationship pattern that keeps repeating, the aftermath of something that happened years ago that still surfaces at inconvenient moments. Others come with something harder to name: a flatness, a sense of going through the motions, a feeling that they’re living slightly to the side of their own life.
Both are the right reason to be here. Somatic therapy doesn’t require you to be broken — it requires you to be willing. Willing to pay attention to what your body is actually doing, not just what your mind is telling you it’s doing. Willing to slow down long enough to hear what you’ve been too busy to notice.
The people I work with are typically thoughtful, capable, and self-aware. You are committed to living fully and may or may not have done a significant amount of personal work. If you are committed, if something is calling you to be more fully you, that is the right place to start. What You’re looking for is depth — something that gets underneath the patterns rather than just managing them.
HOW IT WORKS
Somatic therapy is not talking about your body. It’s learning to listen to it.
Your body has been present for everything that has ever happened to you. It holds the record — not as memory in the conventional sense, but as posture, sensation, breath pattern, the particular way you hold your shoulders in a difficult conversation.
In sessions, we work with that record directly. This might mean noticing what happens in your body as you describe something. It might mean slowing down a moment that moves quickly in the telling, and staying with what’s actually present when we do.
We draw on Family Constellations when patterns feel larger than the individual — when what you carry seems to come from further back than your own life. And on movement-based practices when the body needs to be engaged directly, not just spoken about.
Sessions are 50 minutes, online. The frame is consistent.
What happens inside it is genuinely responsive to you.
WHAT TO EXPECT - THE FOUR STAGES
Each stage of the work has its own character.
01 Orientation
The first few sessions are about establishing a shared language. What does your body do under pressure? What does safety feel like? We build enough foundation for the real work to be possible.
02 Deepening
As trust builds, we go into the material that actually needs attention. This phase tends to be where the most significant change happens — sometimes quietly, sometimes not. I will move at the pace your nervous system can genuinely integrate.
03 Integration
Change in therapy isn’t linear. What shifts in a session needs time to settle into daily life. We pay attention to this — how the work is landing, what’s consolidating, what needs revisiting.
04 Completion
Ending well matters. When the work reaches a natural conclusion — and you’ll know when that is — we close it with the same attention we brought to the beginning. Some people return months or years later. That’s always welcome.
PRACTICAL DETAILS
Session length and frequency
50 minutes, online. Weekly or fortnightly — we’ll find the rhythm that supports the work without overextending you.
Fees and Medicare
Please enquire for current fees. Australian clients with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan are not eligible for Medicare rebates. There are no concession rates of sliding scales.
Where in the world you are
I work across time zones. Australian, UK, East African, and European hours are all workable. If you’re elsewhere, get in touch — we’ll figure it out.
How long therapy takes
Honestly — it varies. Some people do six months of intensive work and feel complete. Others stay for years because the work keeps being useful. Some people do some shorter intensive work and then come back when issues arise. I won’t encourage dependency, and I won’t rush you out the door. We’ll know when it’s time.
