You may be struggling because of unresolved past emotional wounds. When we go through difficult periods in life, whether this is during childhood, or as adults, we end up carrying a load of emotional baggage, this only gets heavier over time, and it will impact our physical and psychological wellbeing. I help clients learn how to regulate their nervous system - we can end up stuck in the flight/flight mode. To help with this I share breathwork methods, grounding strategies and I encourage positive self-talk.

Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety or low mood and it's impacting you and your health. You may be going through a period of grief and loss and you are struggling to manage your emotions, or life's challenges have knocked you down so many times that you are now struggling to manage.

I support clients in their healing process by encouraging them to apply self-compassion and gentle curiosity, as opposed to self-judgement. Most of us find being kind and compassionate with others so much easier than being kind to ourselves. We can be our own worst critic, using harsh language and being cruel to ourselves. This way of being is only keeping us in emotional pain. By being present with my clients, in a fully accepting and non-judgemental way, I create a space where clients feel emotionally safe. This feeling of safety gives them the courage to be open up and be vulnerable. Only when this happens can the person start the process of becoming whole again, which is the true meaning of healing.
