About Me

I am an experienced embodied Gestalt psychotherapist, working in private practice online and in Glastonbury, Somerset. My approach is grounded in the belief that we each hold an innate capacity for healing, growth and change and that our bodies, emotions and inner lives hold important wisdom about what we need. Through a gentle integration of mind, body and spirit, I support women to develop greater self awareness, self trust, autonomy and freedom.

I specialise in working with women who feel stuck, lost, anxious or disconnected from themselves; who struggle with low self-esteem, shame or a lack of inner authority, or who have lost touch with their voice, vitality and sense of direction. I am particularly interested in women’s life transitions and the deeper psychological and spiritual questions that can emerge at these thresholds, including the transition into midlife and menopause. My work invites women into a deeper relationship with themselves, supporting them to reconnect with their embodied wisdom, sense of meaning and the woman they are becoming.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I work with women experiencing anxiety, panic, chronic worry and a persistent sense of feeling on edge, helping you understand what lies beneath the anxiety and find a greater sense of ease and inner steadiness.
I support women whose physical health, symptoms or changing bodies are affecting their emotional wellbeing, offering a space to explore the psychological and emotional dimensions of their experience and how their inner world may be expressing itself through physical symptoms.
I have twenty years experience working with trauma, including PTSD and complex PTSD, and support women to gently understand and integrate the impact of traumatic experiences, whilst reconnecting with their embodied sense of safety, agency and self.
