My Approach

People engage in psychotherapy for many reasons- crisis, sorrow, loss, addiction, conflict- but fundamentally they seek a more meaningful, joyful life. The drive toward wholeness and health- “physis” - names my practice and guides my work.
-
As a supervisor, my work is grounded in a TA informed relational model, with particular attention to the unconscious as it unfolds between client and therapist. Because this orientation centres on the relationship itself, it lends itself well to working with supervisees from a range of therapeutic modalities- not only those trained in TA. What matters most is a willingness to think relationally and to stay curious about what emerges in the work.

About Me

I am a certified Transactional Analyst (CTA-P), specialising in relational TA. I have extensive training in Eco-TA, where therapeutic work integrates our connection to natural/built environments, showing how our surroundings can shape our interactions and internal processes.
-
I am also a clinical supervisor, with a Diploma in Supervision aligned with BACP and UKCP standards for supervision training.
-
As a former academic in Arts and Humanities, I became interested in the psychological implications of bodily change and boundaries whilst engaged in my PhD. This led to me becoming a psychotherapist, and has been pivotal to how my therapeutic approach has evolved and developed in the years I have been in private practice. My main aim is to co-create a non-judgmental, relational environment that can reveal pathways to change.
-
I am an active person who loves cross-country running, hiking, and lifting weights; I am also a classically trained dancer. I can teach Yoga (Hatha), Yin, Mindfulness and Meditation- viewing these movement-based practices as an embodied form of knowledge.
