My Therapeutic Approach
Integrative Therapy
I believe that every person’s story is unique, which is why my approach is integrative and tailored specifically to your needs. Instead of a one-size-fits-all method, I draw from various modalities to create a personalised experience. My approach combines insights from neuroscience to help you understand the complexities of your nervous system, psychological interventions to foster meaningful change, and communication skills that help you engage assertively with others while being compassionate with yourself.
To bring everything together, I draw on Eastern wisdom, supporting you in finding perspective shifts and helping regulate your nervous system through practices such as body awareness and breathwork.
My therapeutic style embodies a fusion of Eastern and Western influences because that fusion is me; I am a blend of East and West. This inclusive approach allows me to honour diverse paths of healing and understanding, offering you a broader perspective in our journey together.
A Safe Space for Navigating Mixed-Race and Cultural Identity
While I work with clients facing a wide range of challenges, I have a particular passion for supporting those navigating mixed-race and cultural identity issues. Growing up between cultures or identifying as mixed-race can bring unique complexities—questions about belonging, reconciling different parts of yourself, or navigating cultural expectations.
As someone with a multicultural background, I understand how isolating these experiences can feel. I am here to offer a compassionate space where you can explore your identity, uncover your strengths, and build a sense of self that feels authentic and whole.
Therapy in this area can help you:
Embrace your unique identity and lived experiences.
Navigate cultural or familial expectations with confidence.
Find a sense of belonging and self-acceptance.
Cultivate balance and peace in your life.
Your experiences and identity matter. I’m here to support you in exploring, understanding, and embracing all parts of who you are.
