About me

As an accredited psychotherapist and clinical supervisor for over two decades, I have cultivated compassion and wisdom through time. My career within a transpersonal frame does focus on creating a safe space for those seeking support and understanding - using action methods and expressive therapies to facilitate insight, empowerment and healing. I specialise in psychodrama, and incorporate techniques including therapeutic sandtray containing symbolic figurines and objects for nonverbal exploration; hypnotherapy and regression therapy accessing the subconscious mind's powerful resources to connect with present and past life issues; and active visualisation and art providing creative self-expression.
