We are wounded in relationship, and so we might heal in relationship.

What this means in practice is that I try to make the space between us, the therapeutic relationship itself, the primary place where something shifts. I aim to bring warmth, curiosity, and a non-judgmental presence to whatever you bring, and to hold your experience within a wider understanding of the forces that have shaped you: your family, your history, your culture, and the deeper patterns and stories, both personal and collective, that run beneath everyday life.

My training to date spanned many years and included a diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapeutic Counselling at Re-Vision (UKCP & BACP accredited); accredited training in Internal Family Systems (IFS Institute, Levels 1-3); a certificate in Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSI, Colorado); and a 3 year Shamanic Practitioner training with Jez Hughes. In plain terms, this means I have learned to work with the thinking mind, the feeling body, and the deeper layers of experience that don't always have easy words — including the parts of us that were formed before we had language, and the questions about meaning and purpose that no diagnosis quite captures.

People come to me with many different kinds of difficulty. Some are navigating depression, anxiety, or burnout. Some are living with chronic pain or illness and want to explore what their body might be trying to say. Some are working through complex trauma, relationship difficulties, or addiction. Others are in the middle of a life transition or simply carrying a persistent sense that something is missing - an existential restlessness that doesn't fit neatly into a category.

Whatever brings you, I try not to impose a fixed method. Instead, I draw on a range of approaches depending on what seems most useful in a given moment - sometimes working with early developmental experiences and the body's held memories; sometimes with how you relate to yourself and others right now; sometimes with the bigger questions of meaning, soul, and what your life is asking of you. Through all of it, the relationship we build together remains the most important thing.
