The past 5 years Iโve studied and trained in at least 25 courses, including completing both a Masters in Psychology and Post Grad Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, along with a Reiki Masters in 2025. The year of the snake has shed some intense self limiting beliefs I never even knew I had, around stepping into my pwn power and relying on my self for nourishment, tree hugging, and a brass neck to be me, finally.
It is a work in progress afterall, and what draws mw so much to being a psychotherapist and setting up my own private practice this year has been without a doubt a natural curiosity for human behaviour and the symbolic nature of how we make meanings to drive who we are and what we do. It is without a doubt a privilege to hold space for clients, who I keep confidential and who wonโt be a trend for case studies. Instead, I share my own vulnerability that at times I thought I would go insane with stress when studying a Masters, juggling family life, self employment and studies. Somehow, I did it, with the most inspiring supervisor who like me believes science and spirituality are two sides to the same coin.
I feel I will always be an eternal student, ready to learn and I feel very blessed to have worked with clients that have trusted me and taught me so much. I am happy to expand my online private practice by opening up my own therapy room called .paisley in January 2026, offering in-person integrative counselling and psychotherapy, Holy Fire Reiki, and soul-led animist healing work along with small circles and workshops based on earth-based practices.
My friend Redwood tree channeled a lot for me this year, more than working with the drum, as dis a new kin with a deer skin and selenite rattle. As I took my head out the books this year and plunged forward into the abyss of the unknown, I am now 4 and a half years removing alcohol from my life, 4 years a single parent and 1 minute into lifelong self discovery. I witness the journey not the destination but remembering milestones and transitions along with the way is a rite of passage in itself. With dismembering comes a remembering. Remembering, to do what I love.
