Psyche Mapping

Inspiration
Life inspires me. The question "what would Life choose?" helps me to navigate our current challenging times. As at 2021, the world seems to have turned upside down and often defies logic, common sense, and our humanity. We are being faced with uncertainty and the unknown on a daily basis.

I have always had a love affair with nature and I draw strength from being in it. I feel most at home near the ocean and surrounded by trees and wide open spaces. I love swimming in the ocean and walking pilgrimage routes, having walked many hundred kilometers in Spain and Portugal.

Nature informs and nourishes me because left to its own devices, it is abundant, generative, creative and beautiful. We ARE part of nature and we too can grow and thrive in strength and beauty. I believe that is our natural birthright and very possible, even when life happens and the external circumstances are far from ideal.

Background
I was born in Japan and grew up in Tokyo, highly influenced by my international school upbringing with a focus on honouring diversity, living with an open and earnest heart and standing up for social justice. My formative years were not easy as I struggled with various health problems and a sense of being caught between two cultures. When I finished school, I moved to Australia for university, where it took many years of concerted effort to heal myself. I know how long psychotherapy takes, both as a client and as a clinician. I offer something that is quicker, more affordable and a powerful alternative to accelerate people's healing.

Training
I am a psychotherapist, group facilitator and educator with 20 years experience. I completed my training at the Jansen Newman Institute in Sydney in 2000, where I studied counselling and psychotherapy and undertook further training in somatic psychotherapy and self-psychology.

I ran a private counselling and psychotherapy practice in Sydney for 10 years and have also worked for government and not-for-profit agencies in Australia and the UK specialising in relationships, counselling, mental health, mood disorders, adoption and child protection. I was also a lecturer in counselling and social care and have run workshops on self-esteem, anger management, domestic violence, relationships, and parenting.

In more recent years, I discovered I had the "gift of sight", and I believe it can help reduce the time it takes for those who sincerely want to work on themselves. My wish is to help you access your light and to increase mastery of your life so that you can find your way through these changing times.
