Hi I am Theresa
I am an accredited mental health social worker and trauma-informed therapist, passionate about supporting people through their healing journey. With a background in narrative and somatic therapy, and as a trauma-sensitive yoga teacher, I offer a holistic, mind-body-based approach that honours your story and your strength. My work is rooted in the belief and in the clinical research that healing happens in relationship— and often, in connection with nature.
I work with people who have experienced trauma and specialise in gender based violence with women, girls and trans community.
I also work in international development and trauma recovery across diverse communities, including forced migration, and bring a deep respect for cultural wisdom and lived experience to all that I do.
