Somatic, IFS Psychotherapy in Melbourne and online

I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply and move through life with greater clarity and ease.

Rather than following a fixed formula, I pay attention to what is happening in your body, your emotions, and the different parts of your inner world — and we work with these in a way that feels grounded and safe at your pace.

 

How Sessions Work

Sessions draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic IFS, Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), breathwork, and somatic awareness. These are not separate techniques applied in sequence — they are woven together in response to what you bring each week.

What this means in practice is that we might spend time with a feeling in your body, or with a part of you that has been working hard to protect you, or with a belief that has quietly shaped your experience for years. The entry point changes. The direction is always toward greater understanding, regulation, and self-compassion.

Who I Work With

Many people I work with are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, chronic illness, burnout, or the aftermath of psychedelic experiences. Those in helping professions often find this work particularly valuable — it can support nervous system regulation, reduce compassion fatigue, and build genuine resilience rather than just coping.

I welcome neurodivergent clients and highly sensitive people, and work in ways that honour difference rather than pathologise it. If you have often felt like you experience the world more intensely than others, or have felt misunderstood in previous therapeutic settings, this way of working may feel different.

The pace and focus of our sessions are guided by what is present for you in the moment. Together we explore patterns, address what feels stuck, and notice possibilities for change in ways that feel safe and manageable.
