My Approach

A place to meet yourself more deeply
Sometimes in life, we struggle in ways that are difficult to understand. We may feel anxious or overwhelmed, caught in familiar patterns, disconnected from ourselves or others, or simply aware that something doesn’t feel quite right. Therapy offers a space to pause, explore these experiences with curiosity, and discover new possibilities.

Compassion & Curiosity
Our relationships, experiences, and circumstances shape how we meet the world, sometimes leading us to develop ways of coping that once helped us but may now leave us feeling restricted or stuck. Rather than seeing these patterns as signs that something is fundamentally wrong, we can understand them as necessary responses that deserve to be met with compassion, awareness, and curiosity.

The Therapy Relationship
Therapy is not about someone analysing or fixing you. It is a collaborative process in which we explore your experience together at a pace that feels right. Through conversation, reflection, and careful attention to thoughts, feelings, and bodily experiences, therapy can help deepen understanding, ease suffering, and support meaningful change.

Core Process Psychotherapy
My practice is grounded in Core Process Psychotherapy, a contemplative and relational approach that integrates mindfulness, psychodynamic theory, and Buddhist psychology. Alongside this foundation, my work has been enriched by many years of further study, personal work, and training, including pre-and-peri-natal psychology, developmental psychology, embodiment, trauma-informed practice, and contemplative traditions. I draw on these perspectives in response to each person’s unique situation.

Starting Therapy
Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, and finding someone you feel comfortable with really matters. If you are wondering whether working together might be helpful, I would be happy to arrange an initial meeting where we can explore what brings you here and whether my approach feels like a good fit. If you would like to arrange an initial conversation, please provide some contact details in the form below.

About Me

I have always held a deep curiosity about the nature of experience and what it means to be human. What began as a philosophical enquiry and contemplative practice gradually led me into a deeper appreciation of embodiment and the relationship between mind and body.

After an early career in organisations, that same curiosity drew me towards education. I retrained as a teacher and spent many years exploring different educational approaches—including mainstream, Steiner and democratic education—and the ways they support the holistic development of our uniquely human capacities.

My own personal journey, together with a growing desire to support others, eventually led me to engage and train in Core Process Psychotherapy. Through this work I developed a deeper appreciation of what is to be human and how our earliest experiences continue to shape our physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing throughout life. I later undertook extensive further training in pre- and perinatal psychotherapy and Integrated Baby Therapy.

A longstanding relationship with Buddhist meditation, contemplative practice and respected teachers continues to inform my work. Alongside this, my training in embodiment and developmental psychology helps to ground my understanding in the immediacy of lived, relational experience.

Looking back, I can see that a single thread has run through each stage of my life: a fascination with how human beings grow, adapt and become themselves. Today, I bring these strands together in my work as a psychotherapist, offering a thoughtful, grounded and compassionate space in which people can explore their experience, discover new possibilities, and move towards a life that feels more connected and authentic.
