About Me

I trained as a body psychotherapist at the Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre (CBPC) and am a full clinical member of UKCP. I have a Diploma in Creative Approaches to Supervision from the London Centre for Psychodrama, and am listed on the UKCP Supervisor Directory. I run my practice from my home in Islington, North London. I am also a trainer and training committee member at CBPC, and a tutor on the Body and Intersectionality in Psychotherapy module at the Minster Centre in North-West London.

Body psychotherapy works on the understanding that emotions, stresses, and life events aren’t just experienced in the mind, but are also felt and held in our bodies. By working with the body in psychotherapy, we can engage with our habitual behaviours and unconscious patterns, supporting change in a direct, powerful, and lasting way.

As well as talking, a body psychotherapy session can include different ways of exploring what's going on for you. We might use body awareness, movement, visualisation, art materials, create dialogues with cushions or objects that represent people in your life, or use biodynamic massage, a type of bodywork that explores touch psychotherapeutically. Body psychotherapy is creative and sessions are different for everyone. How we choose to work will depend on what feels right for us at that time. The intention is always to support you in your self-discovery, and your wishes about what suits you will be respected.

My work is shaped by humanistic, psychodynamic, and psycho-spiritual principles. I believe that individuals have the inner resources to find ways of resolving their difficulties, and that body psychotherapy helps people to reconnect with their innate capacity to heal. I see body psychotherapy as a relational, collaborative process between my clients and me, and one that will inevitably impact us both.

As a supervisor, I provide a space for us to process your work with clients to gain deeper professional and personal insights, make new meaning and connections, and receive guidance and support.

I bring together creative, embodied, experiential, and relational elements in my supervision practice. I draw on many of the same principles that I do in my clinical body psychotherapy work, and use a range of methods to support our reflections together. As a psychotherapy tutor on intersectionality, I am very interested in how our identities shape and impact our clinical work, client relationships, and the supervision space, and this invariably informs my work.
