About me
Being able to access bodily sensations, feelings and emotions helps us to steer our life forward and creates a sound sense of self (our being, our center) and what we want to do. It helps us to find interest, direction and motivation.
A good functioning mind that is flexible and adaptable to new experiences and learning and a body that offers you information is important for overall health and well-being. Together - body and mind (feelings to support direction and connection) and mind to help us work out how to go about our life is the goal we would be working towards. Helping you to find your own self direction and better connection to yourself and to others.
My speciality is to work with relationship difficulties and emotional issues (anger, frustrations, disappointment, anxiety, sadness, jealousy, etc.), lack of self-esteem, life direction, and adults struggling with issues related to childhood which could be emotional, sexual abuse or neglect.
Having worked as a Rosen Method Somatic Practitioner for many years I bring this experience into the psychotherapy session by paying specific attention to subtle changes in the breath, physical sensations, and the feelings and emotions of the clients as a way of integrating awareness and delving deeper into the body mind, inviting more of unconscious thoughts, core values and feelings to surface during the session time.
Qualities of the heart goes a long way; kindness and acceptance are important in therapy and opens the doorway to safety and more intimacy with self and others. Sometimes we also need someone to challenge our beliefs and address any ‘stuckness’ - set ways of thinking and feelings, so that more of a ‘flow’ - in fact life itself - can move through us in a more light and harmonious way.
Every part of a client is welcome in our therapeutic talks; the parts that feel weak and vulnerable, the parts that are strong and dominant, we also welcome all the different emotions, and sometimes difficult emotions such as hate, grief, despair, anger, jealousy, envy, etc. Over time, clients often find that they start to relate to themselves differently, they become aware of strengths they may not previously have acknowledged, and they have more choice and opportunities to deal with their lives - with more courage and self-esteem it is easier to problem solve or get support.
I work only by Zoom Video calls, and can be available various times during the weeks and occasionally at weekends.
The service offered is confidential, and for the first session we would discuss what you wanted to explore and hopefully achieve from undertaking psychotherapy. I also offer singular sessions for those clients who wish to explore a specific topic, with possible follow up ad hoc appointments.

Member organisations
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.
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.
