About Iona

Before training as a psychologist, I spent a decade working internationally in the music industry, touring with musicians and artists. I witnessed extraordinary creativity and the emotional cost that often remains unseen. I began working with music and mental health organisations, using music as a way of opening dialogue around mental health. Today, I continue this work providing therapy for musicians, crew, and touring professionals.

During this time, I was also following another path. Years of study in yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, somatics, and body-based approaches to healing deepened my understanding of the relationship between the body, the nervous system, and emotional wellbeing. These traditions continue to shape both my life and my work.

Within Without was born from the meeting of these worlds. Whether through therapy, movement, workshops, or teaching, my intention is to create spaces where people can reconnect, discover their own creative intelligence, and remember that healing is not only about reducing suffering, but also about becoming more fully alive.

I offer a space where we can become curious together about what is happening in your internal world, and how it is being expressed. Therapy becomes a place to slow down, to listen, and to reconnect with the wisdom that already exists within you.

Alongside my clinical practice, I lecture internationally on trauma, crisis response, nervous system regulation, and embodied approaches to mental health. I am currently completing a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Existential Psychotherapy.
