About me

WORKING WITH ADDICTION

I love my job. It’s a constant source of learning and soul nourishment. I like to work on a slow and gentle process that ultimately focuses on the re-appropriation of the authentic self. I’d like to think that in helping clients through the exploration of their internal conflicts, working together to unlock their full potential, we  as a team facilitate a process that enables them to be who they truly are. I am a firm believer in the principles that pertain to a healthy ‘integrative’ approach to psychotherapy: coherent, considered, and co-created. I saw my own training, to become a therapist, as an extension of my own personal experience that was inspired by the 30+ years of recovery work I did on myself.

Although I am well versed and interested in the field of ‘addiction recovery’, I am generally interested in working with anyone who seeks help to unfold and transform. I am a firm believer that as long as there is a will to change – one can experience some form of transformation. 

Training, qualifications & experience

One of the two most important things to consider in starting therapy is your safety and comfort. Rest assured that I am fully trained as an integrative transpersonal therapist and have plenty of experience in addiction counselling. I am also a registered member of the UKCP. I am here to help.

I am a trained integrative transpersonal psychotherapist that leans on the Humanistic, Person-Centered and Existential models of psychotherapy. I do so because it permits me to receive you as you ‘are’: whether you are going through a tough time right now because of life’s continuous curveballs or suffering from repetitive addiction patterns, that leave you feeling hopeless and lost. I know how that feels, I have been there. And if not – I will invite you to consider sharing it with me and to tell me how that feels – and I will listen to you. Because is that not what we all need sometimes – just to be heard.
