My Approach

Integrative psychotherapy supports you to explore and heal from the underlying roots of concerns you may be experiencing in the context of your life and unique personal history.

As a relational integrative therapist and counsellor, I have been trained to develop my own approach to the practice of psychotherapy, drawing on a range of different therapeutic models and ways of working according to your individual and changing needs. This includes working with the relational dynamics that emerge between us, exploring with you new ways of relating and also how patterns from the past may re-emerge in the present.

About Me

I am an integrative psychotherapist and work with people from a wide range of backgrounds. I offer a warm, non-judgmental and honest relationship within professional boundaries to support you to develop and grow. I trained for six years at the Minster Centre and have a postgraduate diploma in integrative psychotherapy and counselling.

Challenges in relationships led me both to training as a therapist and becoming a Buddhist. Through this journey, I discovered a new sense of wholeness and meaning in my life. I have experienced healing at a deeper level than I had believed was possible.

Previously, I worked as a journalist and at a senior level in the voluntary sector with carers, young people unable to live with their birth parents due to serious family difficulties and also with people with mental health difficulties or learning disabilities. These roles allowed me to observe the capacity for people to grow and flourish within caring and supportive relationships, often overcoming huge difficulties in their early lives.


I am an ordained Buddhist and have been practising meditation and mindfulness for over twenty years. I draw on these ancient approaches to growth and personal development in my work with clients, supporting you to become more integrated and connected with your own innate wisdom.
