About me
I am a fully qualified and experienced integrative psychotherapist and facilitator, with a deep commitment to helping people explore and navigate their inner worlds.
My journey into psychotherapy grew from my own experiences of therapy, alongside 28 years of working closely with artists, creatives and performers. A desire to deepen my understanding of the human psyche - including the spiritual and philosophical dimensions of our lives - led me to undertake formal training.
My practice is shaped by the natural world, cyclical living, the creative process, humour, identity exploration and contemplative practices.
Confidentiality, authenticity and integrity are at the heart of my work. I consider it a profound privilege to offer a warm, compassionate and confidential space in which my clients can explore their experiences safely and at their own pace.
Training, qualifications & experience
Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapy and Counselling, CCPE, London
Certificate in the Foundations of Counselling and Psychotherapy, CCPE, London
I have worked in private practice since 2019 and have my own discreet, private consulting space in Bruton, Somerset. I work both in person and online, with individuals and groups and also practise in London on a limited basis.
Many of my clients are artists and creatives, reflecting my 28 years of experience working closely with people in the creative industries. However, my practice is not limited to this community, and I welcome people from all backgrounds.
- My experience also includes voluntary counselling roles, beginning in 2017, with The Caravan in Piccadilly, Help Counselling in Notting Hill, the CCPE Clinic and Headstrong. Working across these varied settings has deepened my understanding of the different challenges people face and strengthened my ability to respond to each client’s individual needs.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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 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).
