About me
I am a safe, friendly, and non-judgmental therapist.
I am here to help you in exploring and processing any challenging experiences, feelings, or emotions.
I have been running a therapy practice in West Cornwall for the past ten years. Before that, I lived and worked in Johannesburg, South Africa, and London.
I work with people of all ages who require the space and time to process everything from current challenges in life, work, school, and relationships to complex trauma and issues related to emotional and mental health and well-being. I also support adults and young people with additional needs, ranging from sensory processing disorders to profound disabilities.
I am a qualified music therapist and trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapist, and I have also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy).
Therapy sessions will create an environment for exploring any issues you or your child might be experiencing. All sessions are client-led, and I employ various musical activities, instruments, and interventions to promote emotional understanding and expression, as well as cognitive awareness and implementation.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for an initial telephone consultation, during which we can work together to determine the most suitable and manageable therapy for you. This service is provided free of charge, and from there, we can arrange an assessment, or I can refer you to another therapist or treatment method.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an HCPC-registered, qualified and practising psychodynamic music therapist. I currently work within the field of mental and emotional health and well-being with adults, children and young people.
I have worked in music, health, and education for many years, and I have been fortunate to gain a wealth of experience across various settings. I have collaborated with individuals facing a range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, abusive relationships, addiction, depression, eating disorders, and self-harm.
I work in an accessible and neurodiversity-friendly manner.
I assist clients from their initial contact through assessments, therapy sessions, and post-therapy follow-up care.
My practice, encompassing both short- and long-term work, includes a variety of therapeutic interventions that are flexibly chosen to meet the individual therapeutic needs and goals of the client. I adhere to rigorous legislation, protocols, and guidelines to ensure that I can provide the highest quality of professional therapeutic service to clients. This also involves a commitment to ongoing professional development and current research, both in mental health and psychodynamic arts therapies.
