Description

Since I qualified as a dance movement psychotherapist in 2015, I clinically worked in primary schools, special needs schools, a pupil referral unit, a prison, NHS mental health hospitals and charities in the United Kingdom and Japan. I facilitated movement-based group psychotherapy groups for teens with neurodiverse backgrounds and psychotic episodes at an NHS psychiatric hospital.

In Japan, I facilitated a dance movement psychotherapy group for women who were socially isolated for a number of years. I also worked at a psychiatric hospital for older people (60+) who were socially institutionalised for a long time. I learnt to become culturally-informed as a practitioner.

After I moved to South Australia in 2020, I worked mainly with NDIS participants at a clinic for about 3 years. I began working privately since 2023 at a private clinical space, seeing children, young people, adults and couples. I specialise in preverbal trauma, complex trauma, attachment issues, neurological conditions, eating disorders and neurodiverse populations. I am theoretically grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy including self-psychology and group psychotherapy.
