About me
I have in depth experience and training in the many dimensions of human experience. This includes the emotional, physical, cognitive, neurological, social, familial, ancestral, and sensory levels. My study has drawn on contemporary trauma informed therapies, neuroscience, Eastern wisdom traditions and in-depth Western psychology. I believe that meaningful and lasting change occurs when we work with all of these interconnected levels.
I specialise in issues of sex, sexuality and gender. With over 30 years experience of working with LGBTQ communities.
My work is guided by the intention to support people in integrating all aspects of themselves, allowing for a more harmonious and authentic way of living. An essential part of this process is identifying the ways we inhibit ourselves and cultivating greater self-love, acceptance, and compassion along the way..
Assessment
If you are uncertain about which direction to go in therapy or which therapy would suit you best, I offer comprehensive assessments. These sessions help pinpoint the primary areas to address and outline a tailored, structured plan to achieve meaningful outcomes.
Supervision
With over three decades of clinical experience, I provide informed, reflective, and in-depth supervision for therapists and clinicians. I offer a complimentary 30-minute trial session to explore whether my approach aligns with your professional needs and learning goals.
Love in Psychotherapy
My doctoral research explored the power of love and its expression in everyday life, and I bring this insight into all my work. My practice integrates evidence-based Western psychology with insights from Eastern wisdom traditions, offering a holistic, grounded approach to therapy and supervision.
Past Work & Achievements
I have held senior roles as Director, Manager, and Clinical Lead in national and local therapy services, including work with the Terrence Higgins Trust, NHS, and leading London charities.
Over three decades, I have created nationally funded therapy services, supported by the Big Lottery Fund, NHS, London Councils, and other trusts. I have also edited and published journals and books, including Heartful and The Psychotherapist.
Notable achievements include:
Establishing a Trauma Service for those bereaved through gun and knife crime.
Developing a nationally accredited therapy service for the Terrence Higgins Trust (THT)
