About me
Are you facing challenges in your life?
Do you feel unsettled, stressed or overwhelmed in some way?
Do you feel out of touch with yourself?
Are you looking for change?
I am a psychotherapist & healer who helps women find their way.
I provide a safe & confidential space where women can give voice to their unique life experiences & allow what might feel heavy, stuck or distressing to be spoken.
Here you can –
- talk freely about what is going on in your life
- explore how certain things might be affecting you
- release limiting thoughts or unprocessed emotions
- re-connect with yourself
Together we can help you feel more grounded, balanced & in tune with your own needs & feelings, so you can live fully with joy, confidence & freedom.
How I can help you
I believe that we all have an innate sense of what we need for our own well-being & fulfilment & that my role is to help you reveal that for yourself.
I do this by talking to you about what you’d like to be different & using expert tools, techniques & approaches to help you bring about those changes.
I work creatively & intuitively, paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, body & spirit to explore the origins of any difficulties & find ways to move beyond any traumatic experiences or negative patterns.
I often take account of wider family, transgenerational or cultural influences which could be affecting what you are experiencing – when we understand what we have unconsciously understood about ourselves from these influences, we can re-frame these beliefs & discover a new sense of self.
If you are interested, I particularly like working with & in nature - either through walking therapy, working with nature objects to create a representation of a challenging situation to help you understand it (like a constellation) or creating flower mandalas to mark a rite of passage in your life. Being in nature is very grounding & can be very healing in itself, particularly when combined with therapeutic work.
Therapy is not just talking
As well as talking, we can also choose to work at a deeper level around certain issues.
For example, we can access more meditative or non-ordinary states of consciousness through a shamanic journey; this helps explore parts of our inner world or emotions that are not always available to the conscious mind to gain insight into an issue & allow a shift in perspective.
We can also use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) which is a gentle and non-invasive technique for working with the energy systems (tapping with your own fingers on certain acupressure points) in the body to release blockages arising from recent or past events.
If you wish to, we can integrate one or both of these techniques into your therapy as very effective & simple ways of addressing & resolving the root of both physical issues (pain, chronic illness) & emotional difficulties.
All aspects of my approach are informed by my own personal & professional experiences; whilst the many trainings I have undertaken provide me with a solid foundation of knowledge & expertise, I also bring my own experiences of the joys & vicissitudes of life & the things which have helped me to grow & heal as a person over the years.
Why do I specifically work with women?
I work with women because, as a woman myself, I am passionate about what shapes how we feel about ourselves throughout our lives –
- how we experience being in our bodies & how we relate to them
- how we navigate decisions about careers, relationships & families
- how we are impacted by internal & external challenges
- how we hold onto an authentic & empowered sense of self with so many influences about messages about who we should be
Sometimes, it can be helpful to have time out of our lives to reflect on what has influenced our identity so far & explore what is unique about us as well as important to us.
At other times, specific symptoms or difficulties can be indicators for us to look deeper within ourselves to address past events so we can access our own inner wisdom & resources.
I see talking therapy as 'care of the soul', where we can explore why you might be seeking help now as part of a deeper personal journey of discovery & healing as a woman.
Let’s get started!
After many years of experience, I know that psychotherapy can be a transformational process which helps people to get to know themselves, let go of what they no longer want & find an inner peace.
At its heart, this is about self-love & accepting all parts of ourselves.
So, I sit with you with - bringing my own humanity & experiences along this journey of life & self-love – with the shared intention of helping you find what you need.
I look forward to hearing from you so we can start this process for you!
Training, qualifications & experience
Training
I hold a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology & Psychotherapy (DCPsych), therefore I have been trained to the highest level in the theory, research base & practice of therapy.
My doctoral research focused on intergenerational trauma & what people might carry unconsciously and emotionally from the experiences of their family and ancestors.
As an accredited member of the United Kingdom for Counselling & Psychotherapy (UKCP), I adhere to their codes of ethics and conduct.
Experience
I have worked as a therapist for over 15 years in a number of different organisations, including the London Fire Brigade, NHS primary care services, a holistic therapy centre & a hospice.
I have undertaken further training in EMDR & Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
I am also a qualified healer, using Reiki & shamanic practices to help people heal at a deeper level.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I integrate Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) into my practice where appropriate & requested.
This gentle & non-invasive technique assists the process of releasing emotional or cognitive blockages to help you move forward.
EFT is particularly effective with anxiety (phobias, OCD and Generalised Anxiety Disorder), depression, stress, trauma, low self-esteem & physical conditions such as pain & chronic illness.
I also use other healing techniques such as shamanic practices & reiki.

Additional information
Free introductory chat
One of the main healing factors is the relationship between us, so it can be helpful to have an initial discussion to get to know each other. This can in person, online or by telephone.
You can ask any questions that you may have & get a sense of who I am.
It is your decision how you would like to proceed from there.
What a session might look like
In ongoing sessions, we can discuss how we would like to work together.
This includes jointly agreeing the frequency of sessions & whether you’d prefer to have a fixed number of sessions or keep it open-ended.
What is really important is that we keep talking about how you are finding the sessions & we adjust what we are doing if you’d like to.
This is a flexible, fluid process where you are able to feedback to me whenever you want.
