About me
My Approach
I work from a Psychosynthesis perspective, which is a holistic and transpersonal approach to therapy. This means I am interested in the full range of your experience, your struggles, but also your values, inner strengths, and the parts of you that may be waiting to emerge.
People often come to therapy carrying deep pain. They may have experienced trauma, loss, relationship breakdowns, or found themselves simply surviving, disconnected from meaning, using whatever they can to numb what feels unbearable.
I offer a space where we can gently explore these experiences at your pace, with care and without judgment.
Psychosynthesis sees each person as more than just what’s gone wrong. I believe in our innate capacity to heal, grow, and reconnect with who we truly are.
Therapy, as I see it, is a collaborative process supporting you to move towards greater self-awareness, self-acceptance and choice.
Together, we can begin to uncover what really matters to you and move towards a fuller, more authentic way of being in the world.
About me...
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for many years as a professional musician and educator. My early career was rooted in creativity and self-expression first as a classical and jazz guitarist, then as a teacher, producer and songwriter.
Over time, life’s challenges, including a serious health crisis, led me on a deeper journey of self-discovery and healing. That journey eventually brought me to Psychosynthesis and to the work I now do with others.
I have worked with a range of clients across private practice and charitable organisations, including supporting autistic and disadvantaged young people.
I bring warmth, intuition and real-life experience to my work, and aim to meet each person with care, honesty and respect.
How I work...
I offer a free 30-minute consultation, either on Zoom or by phone. This is a gentle starting point, a space for you to share a little about what’s going on, what’s brought you here now, and to begin to explore how we might work together.
It’s also a chance for you to get a feel for me and how I work, and to see whether this feels like a safe and supportive space for you. You are welcome to ask any questions, and there’s no pressure to decide anything straight away.
If we choose to continue, ongoing sessions can take place in person at my home practice, or remotely by Zoom or phone, whatever feels right for you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Further information
I work from my home practice, where I offer a quiet, safe and confidential space. Many people who come to therapy are struggling with anxiety, depression, or a sense of being lost or overwhelmed. You may not know exactly what you need — only that something isn’t working and you’re not sure where to turn. My aim is to meet you where you are, without judgement or pressure. Together, we can explore what’s going on for you, at a pace that feels right, and begin to make sense of what you’re feeling.
