How I work

Embodied

we listen to body cues and rhythms, gently building capacity for safety and change

Ecological

when helpful, we include the wider landscape (systemic and natural)

Outdoors

if preferred we can meet outside and let nature guide us

Trauma‑informed

we attend to power, consent, and social context, respecting your identities and lived realities.

Relational

we make meaning together, using your language to orient the work

Inclusive & intersectional

I aim to create spaces where difference is welcomed and access needs are named.

Ways we can work together

Therapies and Supervision

I am a Glasgow-based somatic trauma therapist and counsellor offering specialised therapy and clinical supervision in-person, online, and outdoors. Sessions are available from my private office or within a supportive urban park setting in Glasgow, and online across the UK and Europe.

Resources

Alongside my clinical work, I offer a range of learning and reflective spaces exploring mental health, belonging, and body-based practice. My podcast, We are here, too: mental health abroad, together with my blog and newsletter, Rooted in Motion, are freely available resources where I share insights on somatic healing, nature connection, and the politics of belonging.

For those seeking deeper professional or experiential learning, I provide paid training and classes in outdoor therapy, somatic therapy, and eco-somatic approaches for therapists, practitioners, and helping professionals.

Who I support

I support people navigating: trauma and complex trauma; anxiety and overwhelm; grief and loss; belonging and identity (including migration, culture, and place); recovery from systemic harms (e.g., gender‑based violence, -isms); psychosomatic symptoms; life transitions.

“Inclusion is not about bringing people into what already exists; it is about creating a new space, a better space for everyone.”

~ George Dei

I am committed to offering an inclusive and trauma-informed therapy practice. This means continually reflecting on my own biases, assumptions, and privileges while creating space for openness, accountability, and meaningful dialogue within both my professional and personal life.

I work in a culturally sensitive and intersectional way, recognising that our bodies exist within social and political contexts and may be shaped by experiences of marginalisation, prejudice, or systemic violence. 

In our work together, I will be attentive to the language you use to describe yourself and your experiences, allowing your words to guide our shared understanding. Whether we meet in my therapy room, online or outdoors, we will also consider how the physical environment can best support your comfort, safety, and sense of ease.
