About me
I offer online and in-person therapy and executive coaching.
Therapy sessions and Coaching Programmes are tailored to your needs. Open-ended and short-term (12-week and 24-week programmes) are options.
I trained in an integrative approach, which means I may bring in different elements from other modalities such as creative writing, free-drawing and considering your dreams.
For clients who are open to it, we can use meditation and inner transformation work, which calms your nervous system and decreases anxiety. My transpersonal counselling and meditation training means I’m listening intuitively to what’s trying to emerge for you.
The impact of creativity and creative writing on wellbeing and mental health has positive results if you are drawn to it, and can help you access your inner wisdom.
After a brain injury in 2004, I developed my own approach to using creative writing, storytelling work, breath work and somatic work to calm the nervous system. By re-imagining the stories which shape and drive your life, change is possible. I call this approach Soul Writing Coaching - you can find out more on my website.
I believe change is possible.

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
