My Approach

People come to therapy for many reasons — anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, self-harm, or the long-term effects of violence and abuse. Often there is also a wordless sense that life has narrowed and become stuck in repeating patterns.
My approach is relational, depth-oriented, and body-aware. I understand symptoms as meaningful signals rather than faults to be fixed. We attend not only to your story, but to the underlying patterns and relational dynamics through which experience is organised and repeated.
Because of my Group Analytic and Maturation training, I pay particular attention to context — how your ways of coping once made sense, and how they may now limit freedom and choice. As awareness grows, new responses become possible.
Sessions move at a human pace. You do not need to arrive with a clear formulation of the problem. We begin with what is present and work from there.
I offer both individual and group therapy, in longer-term and more focused forms. Work can be exploratory, supportive, and at times challenging — always grounded in care and professional responsibility.

About Me

I am a UKCP-registered Psychotherapist and Group Analyst, and also a BodyMind Maturation Guide and Elemental Chi Kung teacher. My work brings together depth psychotherapy, ontological enquiry, and embodied practice into a single, integrated field.

My clinical formation took place over many years within NHS specialist psychotherapy services and higher education, before I established independent practice. Alongside depth and group process work, I have continued to study approaches that include the body, consciousness, and the wider relational field — because change is not only something we work through, but something we come to live differently.

Dreamwork and embodied practice sit close together in my approach. Attention to dreams, symbolism, and unconscious communication is complemented by Chi Kung training and teaching, which draws from contemplative and nature-based traditions. Both invite forms of knowing that arise through direct experience rather than analysis alone, and this shapes how I listen for movement, meaning, and the restoration of flow in a human life.

A strand of my practice is dedicated to working with doctors and healthcare practitioners who are carrying high levels of responsibility and strain. This work is supported by long study of large group dynamics, social conditioning, and systemic forces that shape professional identity, endurance, and burnout.

Born of Maltese-British heritage, I remain attentive to how culture, history, and power enter the inner world and the therapeutic relationship. An awareness of colonisation, inherited authority structures, and questions of belonging informs the way I hold context, difference, and voice within the work.
