I work holistically, placing value on spiritual, psychological, social and physical aspects of living. My approach is rooted in an Integrative Transpersonal framework and I draw on concepts from Jungian, Gestalt, relational, psychodynamic, neuroscience, body psychotherapy and family systems theory. I also use the creative arts in my work with clients who find it helpful. It can be a meaningful way to express feelings / experiences that language can struggle to describe.
The transpersonal element to my work gives space to connect to what can feel bigger than us, and is informed by my own experience of spirituality but also my previous career as a musician - a flute player - and I believe my musicality helps to bring depth to who I am as a therapist.
Alongside my private practice, my clinical experience includes working with:
The NHS, where I offer brief counselling, counselling for depression PCE-CfD (NICE Approved), and group workshops
Mind - brief counselling
Private eating disorder clinic, Orri - group facilitation & one-to-one support
The Centre for Better Health - long-term therapy

Anti-Discrimination Pledge
I pledge to provide a space to explore the impacts of difference, diversity, (in)equality, and interculturalism. These discussions can be clumsy, overwhelming and uncomfortable, however I know that no change ever comes from staying with what’s comfortable. I always want to keep opening my eyes more to my unconscious biases and I strive to encourage these conversations in the therapy room. I welcome challenge and endeavor to not leave my clients feeling alone when navigating this topic.
