Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling for Adults
Margate | West London | Virtual
In an era of mounting unease and uncertainty, the relentless
pace of our lives can create a sense of overwhelm. As a result,
we can feel lost and disconnected from ourselves and the demands
of our busy lives often hinders our way forwards. Sometimes our
lives and relationships might feel stuck in endless cycles and
unhealthy patterns.
I offer sanctuary—a place to pause, exhale and take the weight
off. To sit back and gently untangle what is in front of us and
reclaim our 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 a registered member of BACP.
Additionally, I possess specialised training in trauma support,
particularly for individuals who have endured emotional,
physical, or sexual abuse during childhood.
