My Approach

I offer a thoughtful and playful space for the wild, strange experience of being alive and which might prompt you to seek support; love, fear, grief, joy, worry, school, work, relationships or the unanswered questions at the edge of everything. I am a humanist at heart and am alive to the spiritual depths of life. We might use words, images, metaphor, paint or sand. We might notice what keeps repeating, what has gone quiet, or what is stirring in the depths. I offer a space where something new can emerge; a place to be still, to move, to hold and to let go. Together, we can make more room for autonomy, awareness, spontaneity and intimacy.

I work out of The Northern Guild in Jesmond, Newcastle which has a range of creative and playful options appropriate for children, young people and adults.

I believe that understanding begins with curiosity, that relationships support growth and that experience might shape how we think, feel and behave, but they do not define who we are in the here and now.
