About Me

I trained as a body psychotherapist at the Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre (CBPC), and run my body psychotherapy practice from my home in Islington, North London. I am also a trainer and training committee member at CBPC, and a tutor on the Body and Intersectionality in Psychotherapy module at the Minster Centre in North-West London.

Body psychotherapy works on the understanding that emotions, stresses, and life experiences aren’t just experienced in the mind, but are also felt and held in our bodies. By working with the body in psychotherapy, we can engage with our habitual behaviours and unconscious patterns, supporting change in a direct, powerful, and lasting way.

As well as talking, a body psychotherapy session can include different ways of exploring what's going on for you. We might use body awareness, movement, visualisation, art materials, create dialogues with cushions or objects that represent people in your life, or use biodynamic massage, a type of bodywork that explores touch psychotherapeutically. Body psychotherapy is creative and sessions are different for everyone. How we choose to work will depend on what feels right for us at that time. The intention is always to support you in your self-discovery, and your wishes about what suits you will be respected.

My work is based on humanistic and psycho-spiritual principles. I believe that individuals have the inner resources to find ways of resolving their difficulties, and that body psychotherapy helps people to reconnect with their innate capacity to heal. I see body psychotherapy as a relational, collaborative process between my clients and me, and one that will inevitably impact us both.

Additionally, I am currently working towards a supervision dipoma at the London Centre for Psychodrama, and while I complete my training, am offering a limited number of lower-cost, in-person supervision spaces. If you are a therapist, counsellor, coach, or other professional and feel you would benefit from working together, either one-on-one or in a small group, then do get in touch.

My approach to supervision is embodied, experiential, relational, and creative. I draw on many of the same principles that I do in my clinical body psychotherapy practice, and use a range of methods to support our reflections together. As a psychotherapy tutor on intersectionality, I am very interested in how our identities shape and impact our clinical work, client relationships, and the supervision space, and this invariably informs my work.
