Hi, I’m Ian

I believe healing starts with understanding—not just your thoughts, but also how your body holds and responds to life’s challenges.

In our work together, I’ll create a safe, steady space where you can slow down, notice what’s happening inside, and explore new ways of responding.
My approach honours both the mind and the body, helping you reconnect with a sense of safety, resilience, and trust.

Whether you’re facing trauma, anxiety, depression, low mood, or simply feeling disconnected, I’ll meet you where you are—at your pace. 

Who I Work With

I support individuals who are

  • Struggling with anxiety, panic, or emotional overwhelm
  • Feeling burnt out, depleted, or emotionally stuck
  • Working through anger, relationship conflict, or trust issues
  • Seeking personal growth or support during transitions

  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Choice Theory Reality Therapy (CTRT) 
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) 
  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) 
  • Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness and body-oriented practices 

My Professional Background

A bit more about me.

Beyond counselling, I’m a lifelong learner with a love for books, coffee, and exploring the connections between science, mindfulness, and everyday life. I believe small, mindful shifts can lead to profound transformation—and I carry that belief into my personal and professional life.
