My Approach

I believe that healing happens when we feel truly seen, heard, and supported—both emotionally and physically. My approach is warm, compassionate, and deeply rooted in the connection between mind and body. I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities, including biodynamic psychotherapy, IFS, EFT, IFIO, trauma-sensitive psychodrama, and trauma-focused therapy, to create a space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.

Rather than just focusing on thoughts and emotions, I help clients tune into their bodies—the subtle sensations, the held tensions, the wisdom they carry. Our bodies hold our stories, and by listening to them, we can unlock deeper healing and lasting change. Whether working with individuals, couples, families, or groups, I tailor my approach to meet each person where they are, blending evidence-based techniques with a deep respect for each person’s unique journey.

At the core of my work is a belief in the body’s innate ability to heal and restore balance. My role is to gently guide and support that process, helping you reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and find more ease in your life. 💛

About Me

I'm a UKCP-licensed psychotherapist with a passion for humanistic and body-centered therapy.

My approach integrates a range of techniques, including biodynamic psychotherapy, IFS, EFT, IFIO, trauma-sensitive psychodrama, and trauma-focused therapy.

Alongside my psychotherapy practice, I bring years of experience as a medical doctor, with a strong background in clinical work, medical education, editorial projects, and guideline development.

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.

When working with cancer patients, my approach is gentle, compassionate, and deeply supportive. I recognize that cancer affects not just the body, but also the emotions, mind, and spirit. Using body-centered therapy, I create a safe space where you can process fears, ease tension, and reconnect with inner strength. Through biodynamic psychotherapy, trauma-informed techniques, and deep listening to the body’s wisdom, I help you find moments of peace, resilience, and a sense of control amidst the journey. My goal is to support you in feeling heard, held, and more connected to your own healing resources. 💛
When working with health-related issues, my approach is holistic, compassionate, and body-centered. I see the mind and body as deeply connected, and I help clients navigate the emotional impact of illness, chronic pain, or medical challenges with care and understanding. Through biodynamic psychotherapy and trauma-informed techniques, I support you in releasing tension, processing emotions, and reconnecting with your body’s natural healing wisdom. Whether you're facing a diagnosis, managing ongoing symptoms, or adjusting to life changes, I create a safe space for you to feel heard, supported, and more at ease in your body. 💙
When it comes to mental health, I take a warm, holistic, and body-centered approach. I believe that our emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations are all deeply connected, so I work with you to explore not just your mind, but also how your body holds and expresses your experiences. Using biodynamic psychotherapy, trauma-informed techniques, and gentle somatic work, I help you process emotions, release tension, and build inner resilience. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress, I create a safe, supportive space where you can reconnect with yourself, find balance, and move toward healing in a way that feels right for you. 💙
When working with PTSD, my approach is gentle, body-centered, and deeply trauma-informed. I understand that trauma lives not just in our memories but in our nervous system and body. That’s why I blend biodynamic psychotherapy, IFS, EFT, IFIO, and trauma-sensitive psychodrama to help release stored tension and restore a sense of safety. Together, we create a space where your body and mind can reconnect at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is to help you feel grounded, rebuild trust in yourself, and move forward with more ease, resilience, and self-compassion. 💛
As a trauma therapist, my approach is gentle, supportive, and deeply attuned to your unique healing journey. I believe that trauma is not just something we think about—it’s something we carry in our bodies. That’s why I combine body-centered techniques like biodynamic psychotherapy with trauma-focused approaches such as IFS, EFT, IFIO, and psychodrama to create a safe space for healing. Rather than forcing change, I help you reconnect with your inner wisdom at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll work to release stored tension, build resilience, and restore a sense of safety and ease—so you can move forward with more freedom and self-compassion. 💛
