About me
As an integrative transpersonal and body-based psychotherapist, I provide a compassionate, clinically grounded space for the issues you are struggling with. These might include panic, anxiety, burnout, depression, destructive habits, relational breakdowns, or a sense of spiritual emptiness. You may be facing major life changes, losses, or unresolved issues that are making life hard to manage. Together, we look at the bigger picture of your life, combining emotional and body-led insight with creative and verbal expression to broaden your awareness and release stuckness.
Based in Holloway, my practice blends transpersonal psychotherapy with somatic movement therapy, to bridge the gap between words, feelings and expression. When talk therapy feels incomplete it can mean the body is holding onto stress or trauma that words alone can't reach. By giving attention to what the body carries, we can acknowledge how distress can often manifest in intensely physical, as well as emotional ways.

Alongside my private practice, I have worked for a number of organisations supporting survivors of trauma. This has involved the provision of specialist services for people with learning disabilities and autism, families impacted by institutionalised trauma, and survivors of sexual violence and abuse. I have also worked for many years as a school-based counsellor for children, young people and families. I continue to work with survivors of trauma in addition to my private psychotherapy work.
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.
ADMP UK is the professional organisation for the profession for Dance Movement Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.
They aim to support the development of DMP in the UK and internationally; foster communication among Dance Movement Psychotherapists (DMPs); and promote the use of DMP throughout the United Kingdom and abroad.

Additional information
I offer a free 15/20 minute initial phone call so that we can think about how we might work together. My fees are on a sliding scale of £65-£85 based on circumstances, and this is agreed in our initial meeting. I use this model so that I can offer some reduced-fee spaces for people who would otherwise be unable to access therapy. Please specify if this is what you are seeking, and I can share my current availability.
