Approach & Services
I use an attachment based approach that is founded in the principle that we are all trying our best.
I primarily use emotion focused, somatic and sex therapy approaches but do incorporate a combination of therapies in my practice which may include cognitive behavioural, dialectic, solution focused, motivational interviewing, and havening.
I think of emotions and behaviours as protective mechanisms that have developed as an adaptation to stressors or life events. Which means they are there for important reasons. I want to understand the role they play in the context of your life so we can understand their function and find a way forward that works best for you.
I am inclusive of sexual orientation, relationship orientation (consensual non-monogamy), kink and BDSM friendly, and pagan friendly
-
Emotion Focused Therapy is based in attachment theory, it examines the patterns of emotions in our life and how they are impacting us
-
Somatic Therapy is a body oriented therapeutic model that aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies. It focuses on how emotions appear within the body

Sex Therapy can address any emotional or mental roadblocks that are causing or are related to sexual issues
