What is Unfoldment?
The therapeutic lens is retrospective, meaning that it looks towards the past, searching through early experiences, family dynamics, and trauma to make sense of current struggles. This work is corrective, focused on “fixing” what went wrong, in hopes that healing those wounds will create relief in the present.
The primary outcome of this work is healing and correction. While deeply valuable, the future remains blurry, secondary, or unspoken, rarely integrated into the work as a living part of the process.
On the other hand, traditional coaching tends to orient itself firmly toward the future. It starts from where you are now and focuses on where you're going—setting goals, clarifying vision, building alignment, and taking action. The past is acknowledged, but only briefly, often seen as less relevant or even a distraction.
Likewise, the primary outcome of coaching is performance and achievement—emphasizing the need to do more, optimize better, and move forward faster.
Both models, despite their differences, often begin with a subtle (or overt) assumption that the present version of you is lacking, broken, or not enough. Whether it's therapy trying to repair your past self, or coaching trying to shape your future one, the now is treated as a problem to be solved.
Unfoldment offers a radically different path and a fundamentally different outcome: wholeness and integration. trust that who you are in this moment is already whole—even if blocked, burdened, or unclear. The work is not about fixing a problem or racing toward a goal, but about clearing the way so that we can deepen into the resources already within you.
With my keen eye, I recognise when you are at the threshold of experiencing a new sense of self. As we deepen into the exactly who we need to be in the present, we realise that all we’ve ever needed has always been right here. We step into a state of being where nothing feels missing, and instead of haivng to manufacture cleverness, patience, and strength, you can instead finally meet life with all your innate wisdom, love, and power.
From this space, you don't just heal the past or move toward future goals; you unfold. Healing and becoming happen not through effort, but through the natural fabric of your being. The outcome is a life that flows from clarity, authenticity, and embodied alignment.

My Training
Beyond my classical training in clinical psychology, I have been trained in the following modalities:
Parts Work in the IFS and Voice Dialogue models,
Somatic Work via Somatic Experiencing and Bodynamics,
Presence Work via the Ridhwan’s School’s Diamond Approach and Aletheia Coaching.
The Enneagram via The Enneagram Institute.
This combination of parts work, somatic embodiment and presence work come together to allow us to work with your mind, body, and spirit to find what’s stuck and what wants to unfold into golden goodness.

All sessions start with 2 minutes of silence for us to land in the space, and a simple check-in for us to be heard for how we’re feeling in the here and now.
We spend our first session sitting with what’s up and real for you. We name what’s been hidden, and explore where the next piece of the puzzle might be.
I introduce my philosophy, which is to stay grounded in the emotional, and to work with whatever is coming up, exactly as it is. A willingness to see what's there and be with it is all that's needed for us to work together.
You always retain the right to decide on your terms if, when, and how you’d like to take things further.
All my sessions work off of The Ground Rules

I’ve heard it said that we often best serve people with stories or struggles similar to our own.
My childhood was marked as being the odd one out. I was never a part of any dominant culture: religiously, ethnically, socio-economically, or otherwise.
The organising question of my life was “What do I need to do, to be okay?”
My adulthood was marked by an unlearning of these old patterns so that I could step into new life as a whole adult, professional, mentor, community leader, and friend.
I work best with people who want more out of life - whether that’s purpose, wholeness, or connection - and those who want to unleash their inner-gifts to make a change in the world.

In my work, we honor the complexity and intersectionality of our identities.
You won’t be asked to “fit in” or “overcome” in ways that disconnect you from your truth. Instead, we create space to center cultural wisdom, unravel internalized narratives, and rebuild self-trust—on your terms, in your language, at your pace.
All parts of you are not just welcome here—they are essential to the work.
Decolonising one’s practice is a continuous verb. Not an adjective that can be checked off as a qualification.
Perfection doesn’t exist. Thus, no therapist or healer is perfect. Being a healer requires lifelong learning, unlearning and relearning, and I do my best to remain engaged with my own process so that I can bring that to the spaces that I hold.
My continuing process involves a 3-fold approach: Education, divestment, and liberation.
Education: How has our world been built, and how does that impact us today?
How do the ongoing effects and legacy of systemic oppression, white supremacy, patriarchy, colonization, genocide, war, enslavement, forced migrations, separation from land, separation from meaningful work, destruction of communities and ecocide affect us, our families, our communities, and the ways in which we relate to the world around us;
The limitations of the western mental health industry;
How separation and oppression create personal and collective mental health issues;
Educating myself on non-Western and non-Eurocentric theories, healing systems, and perspectives.
Divestment: How can I begin to combat the modern manifestations of harm?
Learning and challenging the ways that modern prejudice impacts the way we live in the world today;
Acknowledging, examining and unlearning - in session, and in my day-to-day life - the ways that these internalized biases within myself hold me back from vulnerability, connection, love, and liberation;
Working with my areas of fragility, limitations, power, and privilege to better hold space for difficult conversations, and to better be able to reach across divides to find connectedness;
Holding spaces for under-privileged individuals who may not be able to afford my full rates.
Liberation: How can I help us build a better tomorrow?
Bringing decolonial beliefs, perspectives and attitudes to this work that de-center individualistic values, which expand our understanding of wellness, and which allow us to reconnect to natural, cultural, and ancestral wisdom;
Working from a place of non-hierachy where I do not withhold self-disclosure if it ultimately leads to a relationship that is more connected, less anxious, and supportive toward our mutual healing;
Continuing to participate in my own healing and bringing myself to meet the world.

Of course!
I have always spoken out about how oppressive systems also oppress those who are “supposed” to be at the top.
How patriarchy pressures men to perform and excel, without leaving them the space or permission to be soft and vulnerable - to not always get it right.
How white supremacy keeps white folk disconnected from our shared humanity and from their own ancestral wisdom rooted in spirit and the land.
How heterosupremacy and homophobia can get in the way of men and women from forming intimate, and vulnerable relationships with each other.
People at intersections of power are uniquely oppressed, and need support too.
I would argue that the world cannot change without them, and how - for a true revolution in how we live and relate in the world - everyone must be included in the journey.
