About me

Whether you are in acute distress, or wanting to improve your general well-being, I have the training , skills and experience to help. I am an Integrative psychotherapist. It’s not a one size fits all approach, but one specifically designed around you . I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and emotions, in order to facilitate your personal growth and self understanding.

Therapy can be long or short term.

I believe it's good to laugh and cry.

I am also a trained Art Therapist. This entails using art as part of the conversation. YOU DON"T HAVE TO BE GOOD AT ART TO BENEFIT FROM ART THERAPY.It is an evidence based method that can help you express feelings that maybe words can't reach.

  • 2024 MA Integrative Arts Psychotherapy
  • 2022 Diploma in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy
  • 2020 Postgraduate Certificate in the Therapeutic Arts
  • 1986 BA Hons Photography, film and video arts

My working life has been very diverse. I have been a photographer working in design and advertising, where I recognised the power of images to affect and move people. I also worked in the construction industry, redesigning and renovating homes and business premises. This has provided a broad and interesting lived experience of the world, which helps me to understand the mental distress of others. The desire to improve my own psychological situation led me to re-train as a therapist , while my arts background led me towards using art to further my understanding.
