Inner Work

Inner Work is a therapeutic, transpersonal process that supports inner healing and a deepening relationship with self. It attends not only to thoughts and emotions, but also to the body, imagination, and the subtle, felt movements through which meaning, direction, and understanding begin to take shape.

This approach invites a compassionate exploration of your inner landscape — including emotional patterns, embodied experience, imaginal material, and the deeper currents shaping your life. As these layers are met with care and presence, old patterns may soften, insight can emerge, and a more authentic sense of self may begin to take root.

Inner Work brings together transpersonal counselling, art therapy, kinesiology and subtle energy - based approaches within an integrative, whole-person framework.

Is it time to listen more deeply?

Many people arrive at Inner Work during periods of change, uncertainty, or transition — often with a sense that something within is asking for attention.

Sometimes this shows up as emotional overwhelm, a loss of direction, or a feeling of being out of sync with oneself. At other times, it’s a quieter pull toward meaning, integration, or a deeper relationship with one’s inner life.

Inner Work offers space to pause, listen, and meet what is present, in a way that honours your own timing and process.

How the work unfolds

Inner Work is grounded in transpersonal therapy and informed by years of body-based and subtle practice, including kinesiology and energy medicine.

Sessions begin with conversation and gentle settling, creating space to listen for what feels most present. From there, the work may move through therapeutic dialogue and reflection, somatic awareness, imaginal or symbolic exploration, creative processes, or subtle energetic support. Some sessions are more conversational; others are quieter, more embodied, or creatively focused.

Creative processes — such as drawing, collage, painting, writing, working with clay, or image-based exploration — are offered as invitations, not requirements. No artistic skill or experience is needed. The emphasis is on inner listening, expression, and meaning-making, rather than on producing anything finished.

At times, Inner Work may also include gentle sensory or vibrational supports such as flower essences, aromatherapy, or sound. These are offered as part of the therapeutic language of the session — supporting regulation and embodied insight — and are always used with care and consent.

Ways of listening and responding informed by kinesiology remain part of my in-person work, now held within a broader transpersonal frame. Rather than working through a single modality, the work is responsive — shaped by your process, your nervous system, and the timing of what is ready to unfold.

A person-centred approach

Inner Work is held within a person-centred framework that honours agency, consent, and inner wisdom. Here, healing is seen not as something done to another, but something that unfolds when people are supported to meet what is theirs to know, in their own way and time.

I offer a held and attuned space in which insight, release, and integration can arise organically, without pressure or performance. Care is given to pacing, boundaries, and readiness, so the work can deepen in ways that feel safe, supportive, and sustainable.

Session formats

Inner Work — In person

In-person sessions offer a spacious, embodied container that supports settling and depth. Working together in the room allows fuller engagement with body-based approaches — including kinesiology — as well as creative processes and subtle supports such as flower essences, essential oils, and sound, where appropriate.

A standard 75-minute session usually allows us to move deeply along one primary pathway — whether conversational, creative, or body-based.

Extended sessions (105 minutes) offer additional spaciousness and may allow a more layered unfolding, sometimes including both subtle bodywork and creative process within the same session. They can also be supportive for those who benefit from extra conversation and integration time — including for first sessions, periods of transition, or at particular thresholds.

You’re welcome to choose the session length that feels most supportive for you.

Inner Work — Online

Online sessions offer a focused and accessible container for working from your own space. This format is especially well suited to reflective dialogue, imaginal exploration, and creative processes using simple materials you have on hand.

While hands-on and table-based kinesiology are not included online, the depth of Inner Work remains available through presence, attuned dialogue, and symbolic or creative exploration.

Some people work primarily online; others move between in-person and online sessions as needed, allowing continuity and support to remain in place.

Preparing for an online session

Online Inner Work sessions are held via Zoom and are most supportive when you’re able to settle into a quiet, uninterrupted space. Creating a simple, held environment can help you arrive more fully and get the most from our time together.

Before your session, it can be helpful to have:

a comfortable place where you won’t be interrupted
a stable internet connection
paper or a notebook
any art or creative materials you enjoy using — pens, pencils, crayons, paints, collage materials, clay, or digital tools (simple is more than enough)

Nothing elaborate is needed. The focus is on presence and inner listening, rather than producing something finished.

Where possible, I encourage setting this time aside as you would an in-person session — allowing yourself to step away from emails, notifications, and other demands, so the session can unfold with ease and continuity.

Important considerations

Inner Work is offered as a gentle, integrative process. At times, additional care or support may be needed alongside — or prior to — this work.

Please reach out before booking if you are currently experiencing acute psychological or physical distress, have had a recent psychiatric hospitalisation, or are under active care for a serious mental health condition. This allows us to consider together what is most supportive for you at this time, and whether Inner Work is the right fit.

Illness and in-person sessions

For the wellbeing of everyone, please do not attend in-person sessions if you are unwell (including cold, flu, COVID, or similar symptoms).

If needed, sessions may be rescheduled or moved online.

Frequently Asked Questions

You don’t need to be certain or have a clearly defined goal before beginning. If you’re drawn to a gentle, relational approach that honours body, psyche, and meaning — and unfolds with curiosity and care — Inner Work may be a supportive place to start. If you’re unsure, you’re welcome to get in touch with any questions.
Transpersonal therapy means “to go beyond the persona” — beyond the roles, labels, and stories we usually identify with.
It creates space not only for what’s happening in your life now, but also for deeper inner movements — including questions of meaning, creativity, values, and spiritual or existential experience that may feel unfamiliar or difficult to put into words.
This approach can be especially supportive during periods of spiritual questioning or inner shift, when change may feel confusing or isolating. No particular belief system is required — only openness to your own process.
In this work, “subtle” refers to experiences that are often sensed rather than analysed — such as bodily sensations, emotional or energetic shifts, or intuitive impressions that may be quiet, fleeting, or difficult to name.
The term also describes subtle energy medicine and energetic supports, which may be offered as part of an integrative session.
Inner Work is held as a single, integrative process rather than a collection of separate modalities.
Sessions unfold in response to what is present and supportive in the moment. Therapeutic, body-based, creative, and subtle approaches are woven together naturally, allowing the work to stay responsive, relational, and attuned to your needs — without needing to decide in advance how a session should look.
Inner Work is an integrative offering grounded in transpersonal therapy and informed by years of body-based and subtle practice, including kinesiology.
Rather than working through a single modality, sessions are shaped by what is most supportive in the moment. In-person work may include kinesiology-informed approaches, held within the broader Inner Work framework.
No. Creative processes are offered as invitations, not expectations.
When creative work is used, it is simple and process-focused — not about skill, aesthetics, or making something “good.” Many people are surprised by how accessible and supportive these processes can be.
There isn’t a set number of sessions, as each person’s process is unique.
Some people come during a particular challenge or transition and stay for a small number of sessions. Others work over a season, allowing space for deeper integration or support as life shifts and unfolds. Some check in periodically, while others choose a regular rhythm — such as monthly sessions — as part of caring for their inner life over time.
We stay in conversation about what feels supportive. You’re always welcome to pause, continue, or adjust the rhythm of sessions in a way that respects your needs and capacity.
In-person sessions include embodied and table-based work where appropriate.
Online sessions focus more fully on dialogue, imaginal, and creative processes.
Both formats are held with the same depth and care — different in texture, yet grounded in the same approach.
