My aim is to create a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space in which you feel seen, heard and understood, where together we can face challenges showing up in your life. I will invite you to connect and listen to your body, and help shed light and new perspectives on old beliefs and stories. A space where I may be a witness to your experience, a mirror to allow you to truly see yourself, but where your own wisdom and inner guidance leads the healing process.
“Anything that is ´wrong´ with you began as a survival mechanism in childhood”
DR GABOR MATÉ
Compassionate Integration is a profound process of self-inquiry influenced by two main approaches – Compassionate Inquiry by Dr Gabor Maté and Internal Family Systems by Richard Schwartz. It is aimed at healing the root of all trauma – the disconnection from ourselves.
What we believe about the world and ourselves directly informs our experience. As children we make meaning out of the world that surrounds us, which may not be accurate, but actually helped us survive our environment. Recognising and then challenging these unconscious beliefs helps to update the internal system and integrate our early experiences – an important part of the healing journey.
When we realise our “flaws” are really coping mechanisms, we can start to have compassion for ourselves, offering gratitude to the various protective parts within us who have worked hard to keep us safe, and allow for more of our true Self to shine through.
Memories become trapped within us both in our body and psyche, and unless we integrate them, they may show up as patterns in our lives, calling for our attention. Through this work we get into relationship and hold space for our inner child, offering ourselves the support and emotional attunement we lacked in the past.
Within every being there is a true Self. Our purest essence which embodies qualities such as compassion, creativity, curiosity and confidence. It is who we really are, and when we are connected to it, we respond, rather than react, to life. This work endeavours to create the space within us to be able to identify when we are out of this flow state, to help us to return home with more ease.

“Your conflicts, all the difficult things, the problematic situations in your life are not chance or haphazard. They are actually yours. They are specifically yours, designed specifically for you by a part of you that loves you more than anything else. The part of you that loves you more than anything else has created roadblocks to lead you to yourself. It will go to extreme measures to wake you up, it will make you suffer greatly if you don’t listen. What else can it do? That is its purpose.”
