“Ring the bells that still may ring; Forget your perfect offering; there’s a crack, a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in”

- Leonard Cohen

I am a registered psychologist who takes a non-pathologising approach to mental health. I see all human beings as a combination of ‘human’ and ‘being’, living at the dynamic intersection of the two – Both form and formless, both human AND divine. In my worldview, ‘cracks’ or vulnerability in the human part of us allow the light and beauty of being to shine through. I offer a non-judging, unconditionally accepting witness to your inner world and help you understand the forces that have formed it, and how to live more freely and lightly.

Hello, I’m Julie.
