My Approach

Here, at Insight in the Body, I help individuals overcome life’s difficulties and reclaim the emotional clarity needed to lead an authentic life. Sessions are held via Telehealth, ensuring you can access support from the comfort of your own space.  By combining talk therapy with somatic intelligence, I support you in moving beyond just ‘understanding’ your problems to actually resolving them, helping you feel at home in your body and connected to your Inner Truth.

My approach is a blend of evidence-based talk therapy (ACT, CBT), mindfulness and body-oriented awareness.
 

What to Expect:

  • Emotional Processing: Moving beyond intellectualizing feelings to truly experiencing and releasing them.

  • Nervous System Regulation: Using mindfulness and somatic practices to move from stress to a state of safety.

  • Building Inner Support: Cultivating a kind internal voice and a solid ‘inner anchor’.

  • Connecting to Truth: Tuning out the noise to hear your own intuition and authentic self.

Experience & Insight
My path to counselling has been shaped by over 10 years of mindfulness practice, 8 years in the fitness and coaching industry, and a deep fascination with neuroscience. I ground my empathetic nature and therapeutic practice in the science of how our brains and bodies interact. My experience ranges from supporting women in crisis centres to leading workshops on authentic living.

Issues I can help you navigate
I support individuals navigating a variety of challenges, focusing on the deep connection between emotional well-being and physical regulation. You might find our work especially transformative if you are experiencing:

  • Burnout and Lack of Energy:
    Moving from a state of constant ‘doing’ and exhaustion to sustainable energy and rest.

  • Anxiety and Chronic Stress:
    Understanding your body’s ‘alarm system’ and learning how to return to a state of safety.

  • Emotional Overwhelm:
    Navigating intense feelings without being consumed by them, moving from suppression to healthy processing.

  • The ‘Inner Critic’ and Low Self-Esteem:
    Shifting from harsh self-judgment to a foundation of kind, stable inner support.

  • Body Image and Feeling Disconnected:
    Healing the relationship with your body, so you can live in it with comfort rather than constantly judging how it looks.

  • Procrastination and Feeling Stuck:
    Exploring the emotional roots of ‘stuckness’ and rediscovering a sense of joy and creative flow.

  • Women’s Embodiment:
    Navigating the unique experiences of the female body and cycles, and reconnecting with your inner wisdom and energy.

The true measure of success is a calm nervous system
