My background
I hold a Master’s-level qualification (Level 7) in Psychosynthesis Counselling from the Psychosynthesis Trust, accredited by the BACP.
Often described as “the psychology of the spirit,” Psychosynthesis is a hopeful and imaginative approach that honours the meaning and sense of purpose that can emerge through our pain, crises, and suffering. Rather than pathologising or trying to eliminate aspects of ourselves, it invites us to build a more compassionate relationship with our whole self.
I am also a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, continually inspired by the body’s wisdom—how it holds our stories and speaks of our soul. It was though Vipassana meditation many years ago that my interest in the body-mind connection and somatic psychology began.
Outside of clinical practice, I contribute to the field as a regular assistant lecturer at the Psychosynthesis Trust, supporting the training of future counsellors and psychotherapists. I also assist Waking Dreams, a 10-week guided imagination course led by Allan Frater, and lead group workshops in embodiment and nervous system regulation.
My deepest learning, however, has come through my work with clients, the ongoing mentorship of my supervisors and the things that life has brought me to and through.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the creative industries as a writer and creative director. Music, art, comedy, and time in nature are deep resources in my life—and I’ll champion yours, whether they’re well-established or waiting to be discovered.
I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Registration No. 386503, listed on the Somatic Experiencing Association UK (SEAUK) registry, and fully insured with Balens.
