About me

I am a Qualified and Experienced Counsellor and have been Accredited with BACP since 2000. I have a Counselling Diploma in Integrative Psychosynthesis and an MA in Mindfulness Psychotherapy Practice with the Karuna Institute (Core Process) in Devon.

Sometimes life’s demands and problems can feel overwhelming!!

Perhaps you wake with a sense of dread! Maybe you feel that life hasn't turned out how you had hoped… Are you're having a hard time at work or at home? Perhaps you find yourself repeating those same old patterns in relationship. Maybe you are caught in a cycle of addiction. Do you have angry outbursts or withdraw inside yourself? You may feel lonely and isolated, or are burdened with shyness.

I offer a safe supportive and contained space where you can bring what it is you find difficult. Being heard and welcomed for who you are can bring huge relief and help you to discover that what may appear as hopeless can also be a call from a deeper part of yourself.

I work holistically through an in depth mindful approach that brings awareness to the stories, thoughts and feelings you may have about yourself. Also just as importantly I can work with with you on how that is held defensively in the body. With the release of shock and trauma and a defensive contracted way of being in the world there is a movement toward expansion relaxation openness fluidity and expression.

Counselling and psychotherapy can offer a safe harbour where you can explore what is troubling you and holds you back from living your life more fully.

The aim of soul work is not adjustment to accepted norms or a statistical framework. The goal is a richly elaborated life connected to society and nature. The idea is not to be superficially adjusted, but to be profoundly connected in the heart."
