In a world that's always on the move, it can feel like we're just about keeping up. The everyday grind pulls our attention and it's no surprise we feel disconnected or stuck in a loop. Life has a way of throwing us around, whilst not being totally sure where we're headed. We forget ourselves and lose connection to what's true and important.

I offer sanctuary—a place to pause, exhale and take the weight off. A space to reset and gather yourself. To sit back and gently untangle what is in front of us and reclaim your inner compass.

Connecting back to ourselves is essential in uncovering what truly needs tending to. From here potential can be found, opening up to fresh possibility and a new direction.

My Approach

As an integrative psychotherapist I have trained in different approaches such as transpersonal, psychodynamic, humanistic and existential methods. This allows me to work intuitively and adapt to meet your unique needs, enabling us to work with whatever arises.

Transpersonal means that my methods are holistic; bringing the body, mind and soul in harmony to accomplish healing and growth. If sometimes language evades us, we can work with creative expression, dreams and mindfulness to create breakthroughs. This can mean listening to the body or checking in with the senses whilst we work, connecting with what is true and authentic.

I believe therapy is relational and I encourage a collaborative process of careful listening and supportive dialogue. By creating a secure foundation of trust and safety, we can allow unconscious patterns and self-limiting beliefs to move into the light to be witnessed and released. Our work together will help cultivate an inner guidance for you to take out into your life and relationships.

Whatever the issue, I aim to walk alongside you to uncover your concerns, untangle what is stuck and be there to witness and celebrate your progress.

About Me

After studying Psychology at Leeds University, I spent 20+ years in the fashion retail industry, leading large teams in creative and project management. The corporate world delivered success but also chronic exhaustion and disillusionment. My path up to that point had always brought personal struggle and inner turmoil and I continued to chase answers in the wrong places.

I eventually embarked on a journey of discovery through a blend of therapy, deep shamanic work, meditation, Buddhist and tantra practice. These methods have supported me to turn inward and heal, becoming sacred practices to integrate into my work as a therapist.

My formal training is in integrative and transpersonal psychotherapy and counselling; receiving a Post-Graduate diploma at the Centre of Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE). I am an accredited member of the UKCP.

Additionally, I possess specialised training in trauma support, particularly for individuals who have endured emotional, physical, or sexual abuse during childhood.

I want to get in touch, so what happens next?

Send me an email and let me know if you are seeking online, or face to face sessions - along with the preferred location. We can then organise a 20-minute introductory Zoom session. This serves as an opportunity for us to explore why you are seeking therapy, how it would be helpful and to gauge if I am a good fit for you.



How long is a typical therapy session, and how often should sessions occur?

Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes and are ideally scheduled once a week.



How is the progress of therapy reviewed?

We will regularly review the progress of therapy sessions together. It's entirely up to you to decide the number of sessions you feel you need. Therapy can last anywhere from a few weeks to several years based on individual requirements.
