About me
I take an integrative, transpersonal approach to psychotherapy, drawing from a range of evidence-based practices while adapting our work to your individual needs.
Sometimes we may gently explore patterns from the past and how they may still be shaping your present experiences, including challenges or resistances that you may find yourself returning to. At other times the focus may be on what is happening in your life right now and how you are meeting it.
We may also work with dreams or explore aspects of the self that have been pushed into the background, feelings, fears, or strengths that may not yet be fully recognised. As awareness grows, new ways of understanding yourself and relating to others can begin to emerge.
I aim to offer a thoughtful and supportive space where whatever you are bringing can be explored at a pace that feels safe and meaningful for you.
If something in this approach resonates with you, you are welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial conversation and see whether working together might feel supportive.
Training, qualifications & experience
- PG Dip in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling Psychotherapy
- MA in Transpersonal Research
- PG Cert in the Foundations of Counselling & Psychotherapy
I have experience of working with people in the early stages of recovery from a range of addictions and dependencies, including alcohol, recreational and prescription drugs, gambling and sex.
Addiction is complex, and there is no single path to recovery. Therapy can offer a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore the underlying experiences, emotions and patterns that may contribute to addictive behaviours. Through developing greater self-awareness, compassion and understanding, we can begin to build the foundations for meaningful and sustainable change.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
Alongside my general practice, I have a particular interest in women’s psychological and spiritual development. My recent research paper explored the psychospiritual significance of key developmental transitions such as menarche, the menstrual cycle, childbirth, mothering and menopause, and how these experiences can sometimes bring unresolved wounds or trauma to the surface while also offering opportunities for reflection, healing and growth.
