Dear adventurous one,
If you're a nature loving, sensitive type who is into grounded, personal growth and spiritual work, I have a feeling we are going to get along really well.
Everything I do around here is about supporting you in deepening your connection with yourself and your world, by supporting you in having in-depth explorations of what’s alive and real for you.
And if you’re here, I bet I know a few things about you.
You’re really comfortable with soulful, big picture, intuitive and non-linear stuff. You might occasionally get stuck in your head, but you also feel comfortable being guided by your heart and dreams.
Personal growth and inner work isn’t optional for you. Reflecting, journaling, or meditating about stuff like what your purpose is and what you are here to learn, heal and overcome, is second nature to you.
Nature is important to you.
I am glad you have found your way here and I would be honoured to companion you on your therapeutic journey.
A few fun facts about me
I was raised in Africa, lived in the UK, and now am loving being in Australia.
I am a holistic counsellor and psychotherapist, traveller, photographer, chef, adorer of dogs, and facilitator-in-training.
My calling to be a counsellor came in the form of arthritis. It boldly interrupted my career as a photographer and chef, and redirected my work to see the inner light in people.
I’m an animist and I genuinely believe in nature being wise - I talk to trees. And animals.
Travelling is one of my big joys in life - I recently returned from a trip to China, Spain, Morocco, and the UK.
I experienced trauma via displacement and it created a big interest in me of what home is, both as a place and in coming home in ourselves.
My super powers are calmness, cooking brunches, baking cakes, and giving dogs endless compliments.
How am I a counsellor?
I have completed a master’s in counselling (holistic practice) degree with the Metavision Institute. I am currently training in somatic ecotherapy, and with ANZPOP to complete a diploma (Professional PhD level) of process oriented psychology.
Currently I am employed part-time as a torture and trauma counsellor for refugees.
This is what I want for you.
- To sense awe for the incomprehensible complexity of human nature.
- To feel validated in yourself and your reality.
- To be empowered, heard, seen, and inwardly lit up.
These are my promises to you.
Your grief is welcome here. I witness daily the power that comes with being with sadness and despair. You are safe here and your tears are welcome.
I believe in you. My role is support you and be your cheerleader. Even when you might not trust yourself, I will offer you trust.
I will tell you like it is. I intend to offer a safe enough space profound integrity, healthy boundaries, and heart-felt transparency, where you feel seen, heard, and inherently respected.
