My Approach

How I work

My approach is humanistic, integrative, and body-centred. I believe that our bodies often carry experiences, emotions, and patterns that may not always be accessible through words alone. Together, we explore the relationship between mind and body, developing awareness of habitual patterns that may once have served a purpose, now they limit how you experience yourself and the world.

Working with your unique story, intuition, and embodied awareness, body psychotherapy becomes an opportunity to reconnect with yourself in a more authentic and compassionate way. As old patterns begin to soften, many people experience greater emotional freedom, resilience, and a renewed capacity to express themselves fully.

I offer a collaborative and reflective therapeutic space, respecting your individual pace while supporting your body's own capacity for healing and growth.

Areas I support

• Emotional neglect, verbal and non-verbal communication, self-regulation
• Developmental trauma, body-held patterns, existential pain
• Life transitions: career, self-development, early-adult, mid-life, elderhood, fatherhood, motherhood.
• Relationship with self, body, emotions, energy, and breath
• Emotional expression, self-awareness, stability, feeling aligned
• Anxiety, agitation, depression, stress, and emotional overwhelm

About Me

I am a UKCP Accredited Body Psychotherapist working with adults in a humanistic, integrative, and body-centred way. My journey into body psychotherapy began through my career as a vocal coach and performance artist. Working with performers, I became fascinated by the many ways we communicate emotion—not only through words and voice, but through breath, movement, posture, and the body itself. Alongside my own creative practice, I discovered how music, body awareness, breath, and voice could help restore balance and deepen emotional wellbeing. This experience inspired me to train as a body psychotherapist and continues to shape the way I work today.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I work with breathing, sound and self-regulation to aid the body to relax. This involves a psychotherapeutic massage called Biodynamic Massage.
