I am a London-born trauma specialist, BACP trained counsellor and lecturer with over twenty years’€™ experience in therapy work.

​Professional Approach

I work mainly as a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, or as a counsellor and supervisor, using a body-centred approach (Focusing-oriented) with Psychodynamic, Person-centred, Humanistic, Transpersonal and Family Constellation techniques. This integrative approach allows me to tailor therapeutic needs to suit each individual.

Personal Journey

In my twenties I was disconnected from my feelings and suffered from depression, anger issues, relationship blocks and unresolved grief. In essence I was emotionally stuck. After unsuccessfully trying lots of self-help methods that focused on changing thoughts, I came across approaches that enabled me to understand how emotions get trapped in the body. With the help of this bodywork I was able to process core grief and abandonment – via the body – to clear my emotional stuckness. Being more embodied means that I can now fully feel and express my feelings, and also enjoy nourishing relationships.
