My Approach

My style is Integrative and Transpersonal. Clients often come to me because they have lost meaning and purpose in their life and relationships. Together we explore what is causing distress and where life feels stuck or blocked. I support my clients in finding the answers within themselves in order to enable sustainable growth and lasting self-confidence. How would you really like to experience your life and your relationships and what is in the way of this?

Over the years I have created tried and tested methods for working with - anxiety, self-doubt, fear, stress and worry. This is in the form of exercises and mapping techniques, which provide a quick way to see what is going on and then how to shift beyond whatever is causing you distress. Others areas I have developed in my practice include how to work with the inner child, which is very transformative and ways in which to explore the nature of the heart. This is a very powerful technique and came about having experienced that most of our difficulties, challenges and disappointments stem from a broken heart so this offers a creative way to both see our wounds more clearly and how we can heal ourselves.

In my work with couples we draw up a relationship map. With this you get to see what makes each other tick, why they might behave or react in certain ways and where the areas of conflict are. What you might bring to the table which is both helpful and unhelpful. We then explore new ways to communicate, understanding about what brought you together and appreciate each others' model of 'what love looks like'. This is made up of everything you learned growing up (good and bad), which drives and informs all your patterns and choices.

About Me

I offer Psychotherapy for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples and have over 15 years experience working with; anxiety, depression, social anxiety, stress, relationships, low self-esteem, self-doubt, obsessive negative thinking, navigating open relationships, sex and sexuality. I have an MA in Psychotherapy and an Art and Design background.

Before training as a therapist I worked within the creative industry for over 20 years designing interiors and exhibitions. Creativity plays a big part in my work with clients. I specialise in helping you find your truth beyond whatever conditioning and limitations your past experiences taught you about yourself and your relationships.

The Transpersonal refers to going beyond the personal realities of life to understand that there is much more to you and to life than meets the eye. For over thirty years I have explored many different spiritual practices from Buddhism to Sufism and non-duality. I am an explorer rather than a seeker and interested in independent thinking and in each individual discovering their own truth. Questions are more interesting to me than answers. It's the mysteries of life that fascinate me and what it means to be a human being. What is it that makes your heart sing? What is it that brings peace and joy to you life? What is getting in the way of this?
