A Safe, Personalised Approach to Healing
Grounded in evidence-based practice, offering a broad range of therapies provides an alternative for those who find it difficult to talk, trust, or open-up in traditional ‘clinical’ settings. Whether you're seeking something more relational, somatic, or nature-based, I offer safe, contained support that meets you where you are.
I work relationally and trauma-informatively, blending clinical knowledge with somatic and nature-based wisdom to support those navigating distress, overwhelm, or simply seeking a grounded space for growth. Our work might take place online, outdoors, or alongside animals—always guided by what feels right for you.
Whether you’re struggling with trauma, navigating a diagnosis, or simply feeling lost or disconnected, therapy can help make sense of what’s happening and support change in a compassionate, sustainable way.

My Approach
My style is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing on modalities including:
- Somatic psychotherapy and nervous system regulation
- TRE® and body-based trauma recovery
- Systemic therapy and humanistic approaches
- Mindfulness-based CBT and psychoeducation
- Nature-connected and experiential frameworks
Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe, using tools and strategies that honour both your story and your strengths. Where helpful, we may focus on grounding, embodiment, and restoring physiological safety—especially if trauma or overwhelm are present.
Combining Natural Medicine & Psychotherapy
Alongside traditional psychotherapy, I offer the option of combining psychological therapy with naturopathic care — a specialist, integrative approach that attends to both emotional and physiological wellbeing. This is particularly supportive where psychological stress is experienced physically, such as in the gut, immune system, or through pain, fatigue, or chronic nervous system dysregulation. This safe and effective alternative to pharmaceutical intervention provides whole-body support through tailored psychological work, natural medicine, homeopathy, somatic and lifestyle care. It is suitable for clients at any stage of their journey — whether you're looking for an alternative to conventional medication, or seeking to deepen your healing with a more holistic lens.
Clients can begin with a Combined Naturopathic and Psychotherapeutic Consultation, a comprehensive 75-minute session that explores your symptoms, patterns, and goals from both psychological and naturopathic perspectives. This is a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking truly individualised care.

If you’re looking for deeper work with a more structured format, you may wish to explore The Chiron Series, a 10-session integrative programme for trauma and nervous system recovery with added naturopathic support.

Reflections from Clients
Therapy has completely changed my life and the way I view the world. Philippa is the most understanding and compassionate person that I have found whilst trying to help my mental health and well-being. I honestly never thought that I would be able to tackle my demons and self-destructive behaviour. I’m now confident that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
