About me
The root of my practice is Embodied Psychotherapy. Sessions are holistic and in dialogue with the moment-to-moment experience of body, mind and soul. I offer a space to listen to you, be honest, accepting and compassionate. I believe in the transformational power of relational therapy; creative approaches to see things from different perspectives and the innate wisdom of the body for healing.
I work with clients who may be struggling to cope or feeling disconnected. This may be trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will explore the key issues and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you to get your life back. Clients I have worked with report a gradual lifting of symptoms within a month and sustained improvement thereafter.
I have over 10 years of experience collaborating with children, young people, families, adults and elders to support their mental health & wellbeing. I'm licensed in both UK and Europe and hold additional certificate in trauma-informed therapy.
I offer therapy in-person in a room that allows for both movement, creativity and stillness or online via secure video. I'm available Mon, Wed am & Thurs.
I also offer 1:1 Supervision to support clinical work and private practice. I offer a supportive and creative space to process and work with the challenges of clinical work and private practice. My approach is pluralistic so that I can adapt my approach based on your supervisory needs. I work with various theories and models such as the 7 eyed approach, developmental and cyclical models.

Further information
I work within an integrative model drawing on theories and practices from dance movement psychotherapy, psychodynamic, humanistic, transpersonal, eco therapy, arts therapies and solution focused. I listen with you to understand your reality, explore how the past has an impact on your present mind, body, soul and help you to build strategies forward so that you feel empowered. My approach is holistic, relational and trauma informed. I believe that you have the wisdom within yourself to flourish.
