My practice is an integrated holistic approach focusing on mind and body to gain a deeper understanding of inner experience. The use of mindfulness in therapy has vast benefits including a deeply positive affect in managing and reducing emotional stress and anxiety. Bringing mindful attention to the arising sensations, thoughts and emotions in the present moment creates the space to slow down and reflect on what is happening. This refinement of awareness promotes a healthy sense of well-being, carrying with it the possibility of change and making way for a fuller and more spontaneous way of being.
My intention is to offer a safe and non-judgemental space to uncover these complex thoughts and feelings. I believe that we all hold the wisdom and strength to heal our pain and trusts that the therapeutic process is a powerful aid in that journey.
I am an experienced mindfulness based psychotherapist offering brief therapy and longer term depth work. Having trained at the Karuna Institute, I have an MA in Core Process Psychotherapy, a contemplative practice drawing on Buddhist principles and western psychology theory. I have studied and practised with Place 2 Be, a charity for child counselling in schools, gaining my Level 4 Certificate for counselling children. Additionally I trained at Re-Vision, Couples in Search of Soul, developing my knowledge for working with couples.
I have extensive experience working with adults, adolescents and couples in a variety of settings including schools, NHS, the charity sector and private practice. In recent years I have deepened my knowledge and experience of trauma informed therapy.
Currently I am working in the charity sector alongside running my Private Practice.
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.
