My Approach

I am a Transpersonal Integrative psychotherapist. My psychotherapeutic perspective places you, your unique qualities, and your individual needs at the centre of the work. Working integratively makes this possible, as I continuously cultivate a range of skills from various approaches, which enable me to best meet your needs.

Being in therapy with a trained psychotherapist means that you have a space to be completely open, honest and learn about yourself without judgment. It is a place where you can talk about anything: your past, your struggles, as well as your successes and dreams about your future. It’s private, safe and confidential. Learning to trust someone can take time; how long that takes is different for everybody.

About Me

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist with a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy (CCPE) in Paddington, London.

I am fully insured and DBS checked.

My approach integrates learning and skills from 5 years of psychotherapy training and 7+ years of private practice.

I have recently completed a Research Masters in Psychotherapy titled ‘Dyslexic or a Human Being? A Transpersonal Perspective on Labelling'. Specifically, my research explored my own experience as a person with a dyslexia diagnosis (given age eight) and how the ablest systems that we are measured against can cause feelings of shame, inadequacy and lack of confidence.

I am particularly interested in how a dysregulated nervous system can make it much harder to carry out tasks such as reading, writing, form filling or responding to instructions and how, with the help of a ‘regulated other’ in psychotherapy, we can learn to self-regulate. Tools that aid this are self-compassion practices, breathing practices and embodiment exercises, like mindfulness, to name a few. When we can self-regulate, achieving difficult goals and being in challenging situations is easier.

I have more than eight years of previous experience practising as a yoga instructor and hold a degree in Fine Art. I like to encourage my clients to use whatever medium they favour to help the therapeutic process - this might mean using breath, movement and relaxation techniques as well as using art materials to express ideas and thought where words are hard to find.

I taught English to foreign students from 2007 – 2009 and speak basic Spanish (I am not quite fluent enough to conduct a full therapy session in Spanish, but I do have a good grasp of the language).

I am currently participating in an Intermediate Training Programme in Non-Violent Communication and Conflict Resolution with Yoram Mortensen.
