About me
Hello, I’m a transpersonal integrative psychotherapist based in West London, North Buckinghamshire and online.
Life can sometimes feel very difficult and overwhelming, and you may be feeling anxious, low, hopeless or stuck. You may be struggling to cope.
I help my clients navigate life's challenges and obstacles to gain clarity and understanding, and to find greater meaning and purpose in their lives. I offer a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever is important for you at your own pace.
At the heart of my work is a belief in each person’s innate capacity for healing, growth, and wholeness, and I tailor my work to each person's unique needs.
My style is compassionate, heart-based, and trauma-informed, and my approach is integrative and transpersonal.
Integrative means I draw on a wide range of therapeutic traditions for my work, including for example, psychodynamic, humanistic/person-centred, existential and Jungian.
Transpersonal, meaning ‘beyond the person’, involves working with the whole person in the context of their wider life journey and deeper sense of soul’s purpose.
In addition to talking therapy, I incorporate techniques that include somatic/body-based work, mindfulness, gestalt, Internal Family Systems and working with dreams, imagery and symbolism.
My work honours both the psychological and the spiritual dimensions of human experience, supporting you to connect more deeply with your inner resources and a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life.
My practice is informed by 30 years’ experience working in the international development, sustainability, and corporate sectors, including living and working around the world. These experiences have deeply shaped my understanding of trauma, resilience, culture, and the complexity of human experience.
I’ve also been practising meditation and yoga for over 30 years, and am a qualified yoga and meditation teacher.
Please get in touch for a free 15 minute introductory call where we can discuss your needs and explore whether I might be the right therapist 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.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. 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).
