“You must give up the life you planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you.”
“When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body’s natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.”
John Andreadis
Accredited Mental Health Social Worker
My approach to therapy
I offer holistic therapy, based on the premise that healing happens naturally when our bodies feel safe enough to deeply unwind. My aim as a therapist is to create a space where you can feel that all parts of you are welcome. From this place, we collaborate on whatever you’d like to work on.
I facilitate therapy which is not intended to be challenging, but which invites the possibility to explore challenges with compassionate awareness, mindfulness and breath. I integrate my background as an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with my training and experience in Yoga, Internal Family Systems Therapy and somatic approaches. I use these methods to encourage sessions to move beyond talking, to support emotional processing, relaxation and insight.
Clients have shared that I bring a grounded presence, which has helped them feel comfortable exploring areas that have previously felt difficult to approach. I am dedicated to assisting my clients to reach their goals, and I will adapt my methods to suit your needs.
What we can address
I support people navigating:
- Mental health challenges and the effects of trauma
- Inquiry into self and spirituality
- Embodiment and physical wellbeing
- Relationships, boundaries and intimacy
- Desire for increased connection
In addition to these areas, I offer professional supervision and counselling for practitioners and helping professionals who are seeking emotionally-focussed support.
