Thank you for looking at my profile. I am a fully accredited UKCP psychotherapist with almost thirty years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. Over the years, my practice has been shaped by extensive training, ongoing personal inquiry, and a deep commitment to supporting others in their inner work.
Choosing to begin therapy is a courageous decision. It asks us to turn towards ourselves with honesty and curiosity, and in doing so, opens the possibility for growth, healing, and lasting change. I believe we are not bound by our past, nor do we need to live in fear of the future. As we deepen our self-awareness, we create more freedom and choice in how we live our lives. That process isn’t always easy, we are creatures of habit, even when those patterns no longer serve us, but it is always worthwhile.
My training includes an MA in Core Process Psychotherapy from the Karuna Institute, a contemplative and transpersonal approach integrating Buddhist and Western psychology, mindfulness, and neurobiology. I am a fully qualified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 2 practitioner and have additional specialist training in Systemic Family Therapy at the University of Bristol, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy with DDP UK and the work of Dan Hughes, and couples therapy with Jill Gabriel via Spectrum and Tavistock.
I work with warmth, compassion, and integrity. I have particular experience supporting clients navigating developmental trauma, loss, adoption, anxiety, stress, addiction and relational difficulties. I’m passionate about continuing to learn and grow in service of my clients and the therapeutic relationships we build together.
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.
