Waking Circles approach to healing

I believe much of our suffering comes from the illusion of separation—from ourselves, from one another and from the living world. In an effort to survive, we learn to reject, suppress, or hide parts of who we are. Over time, this disconnection can leave us feeling fragmented, isolated and as though we've lost touch with something essential within us.

Healing begins when we stop rejecting parts of ourselves and start remembering the wholeness of who we are.

As we gently welcome those parts home, we begin to rediscover a deeper sense of authenticity, presence, and connection—not because we've become someone new, but because we've returned to ourselves.
My work is grounded in evidence-based therapy and enriched by mindfulness, nature, and contemplative wisdom. I offer a space of deep presence, compassion, and curiosity, where every part of your experience is welcome. I don't believe you're broken or in need of fixing. I believe you already carry within you the wisdom and capacity to heal.
I am here to be a mirror—to witness your pain, your joy, your story, and your unfolding. My role is not to tell you who you are, but to help you remember the wholeness that has always been within you.

Services

Talk Therapy

Therapy is not a one size fits all. I draw from different approaches such as CBT, ACT, compassion focused, parts, somatic and mindfulness based practices to deliver a space that fits your specific needs. Our sessions provide a collaborative opportunity to explore the challenges you're facing while developing practical skills to support meaningful and lasting change.

At Waking Circles the intention is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to help you build a more authentic relationship with yourself, helping you reconnect with your values and strengths, highlighting your resilience and fostering a deeper sense of wholeness.

Therapy may be right for you if you are:

  • Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted.
  • Struggling with self-criticism, perfectionism, or low self-worth.
  • Navigating grief, change, or uncertainty.
  • Feeling disconnected from yourself or the life you want to live.
  • Wanting to better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns.
  • Looking for compassionate, evidence-based psychological support.

Body work & Energetics

In a world where we are often on the go, returning to our bodies is a gift.

I offer a variety of complementary therapies, including Body Massage, Aromatherapy, Zone Therapy (Reflexology) and Energy Healing, creating space to slow down, reconnect and listen to the wisdom held within you.

Each session is an invitation to come back into your body, soften where you can, release what you no longer need to hold, and nurture a deeper sense of balance and connection.

My approach is gentle, intuitive and centred around you — supporting the knowledge and healing wisdom you already carry

Waking Circles Mentorship

This mentorship combines approaches from talk therapies, body work and energetics, providing holistic support to all aspects of self. The container requires a year commitment where we explore all 4 aspects of self through the medicine wheel and the seasons.

  • Examine thought patterns, beliefs, and inner narratives — learning how to observe, gather and challenge them

  • Define your values, boundaries, non-negotiables, and use these to guide your behaviour

  • Recognize behavioural patterns and their origins, including family dynamics and learned responses

  • Examine relational themes, including your relationship with yourself, others, and the wider world

  • Inner child and parts work through reflection, creativity, exploring what healing and play may look like for you

  • Explore your sense of spirituality through developing a relationship with the Earth, your ancestry, and a sense of belonging within the wider web of life, aligning to the seasons of Mother Earth

You are not broken

I  firmly believe that no one is broken. You don't need to become someone else to heal or fix yourself.

Healing happens when you remember the wholeness of who you've always been.
