My Approach

Whatever reason brings you to therapy, my commitment to you will always acknowledge you as the whole en-souled spiritual being as we work together to address your concerns.

Supporting traditional therapeutic theories: Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Existential, and Transpersonal I will support you in achieving goals and potential, understand, manage difficult emotions, achieve better personal or professional relationships, understand and examine negative thought patterns and transform any defence/survival strategies, that may have originated in childhood, and are now working against your best interests.

I may draw on recognised creative techniques to explore more deeply the presenting core-issues to identify if core personal/inherited/cultural beliefs contribute the affects around presenting or long standing concerns or challenges about identity (who am I) self -worth-esteem, authenticity, perfectionism, lack of libido, will-power, or the understanding and energy to complete tasks. Creative techniques such as dream-work, sand tray, inner child-work or creative-imagination, guided visualisation, may be used for creating a symbolic-language and vocabulary to be able to articulate and give form to difficult overwhelming emotions and feelings in the body.

By tailoring a psychodynamic, integrative, creative and transpersonal approach to your needs I will endeavour to support you throughout your therapeutic journey where self-awareness, deeper understanding, compassion, self-love and wisdom will enable you to make desired change, achieve goals as you come align with your true-authentic self and nature.

All the creative-techniques I draw on in my work with you will be related to my training and practice as an accredited and registered transpersonal psychotherapist.

About Me

I am a registered UKCP and accredited MBACP psychotherapist having completed my training at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) in Maida Vale . My approach is integrative, psychodynamic, creative and transpersonal.

In former years I trained as a Hatha-yoga teacher and continue to work with adults in my capacity as a trained Shamanic counsellor.

I work with

  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

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.

Together we will explore how anxiety impacts your mind and body, helping you identify the specific triggers that lead to the debilitating affects as we look at your specific triggers and thought patterns as we build personalised strategies that calm the nervous system and ground you during stressful moments.
I offer a compassionate and judgment free space for you where you can understand and navigate the heavy weight of your depression that may leave you with low mood, exhaustion or the inability to face daily tasks or responsibilities when you feel the disconnection that often goes hand in hand with depression. We will gently explore the roots of your depression and identify the cycles that keep you feeling unmotivated or stuck. Developing practical ways, that step by step enable you to re-discover energy , purpose and re-connect to self at a pace that suits your process.
Difficulty with relationships: including difficulty regarding or relating to one's self and to others, establishing safe boundaries in relationships, working with family estrangements, ruptures, negative familial patterns of behaviour, childhood attachment issues , bereavement and loss . Loneliness and isolation, identity concerns around bridging or embracing different cultures .
I enjoy working with adults in the second half of life including adults who are interested in an exploration of their spiritual calling or awakening. Transpersonal psychotherapy offers a framework that honours the full spectrum of human experience . Together we will explore your deepest values, sense of purpose and deeper sense of self including your connection to the transpersonal.
I work with childhood and adult trauma experiences and the ongoing affects this has on the individual, family members and in the wider context.
