About me
I hold a safe space for my clients and support the process of exploration that is necessary for finding ways towards deeper self-knowledge. Often, people seek therapy when there is a sense of fragmentation or falling apart. Finding ways to relate to different parts within oneself can be necessary in order to feel integration within and connection to others. I support my clients in their search for meaning, and often see how unravelling the knots in relationships, tending grief, and exploring suffering can lead to a sense of purpose. I often witness how this process can be initiated through nurturing connections with embodied parts of lived experiences, learning and using somatic tools, and I integrate this in the therapeutic process. An important piece in the therapeutic journey is attuning to the messages from within, and I support the process of remembering how to listen. My clients are offered a space to learn and build emotional resilience, ultimately leading to a deeper self-acceptance, self-realisation, and self-love. My work is trauma-informed.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have trained at the Philadelphia Association in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Phenomenology. Prior to my training, I completed a BA degree in the Study of Religions at SOAS in 2010 and an MA degree in Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck in 2012.
I have engaged with therapeutic communities set up by the Philadelphia Association, where I worked from April 2022 until February 2023.
For 4 years, I facilitated experiential groups at Philadelphia Association, and have taught seminars on the Introduction Course, and on the Online Introduction to Community, Philosophy, and Psychotherapy course.
I have worked with vulnerable groups as a family support worker for over 6 years. I have been involved with women’s groups and grassroots movements for over 10 years, and support spaces where women can have an opportunity to be mutually supportive throughout diverse journeys and in various stages of their lives.
I see clients through the clinic at the Philadelphia Association, as well as in my private practice.
