Somatic Counselling in London

Therapy helps us navigate life’s inevitable challenges and complex human emotions such as shame, worry, guilt & fear. It provides a space for you to emotionally tend to painful or traumatic life events, navigate current stressors and anxieties, as well as cultivate a more loving relationship with oneself. I am experienced working with various forms of trauma, anxiety, relationship conflict, inner child healing and issues related to the body. I work in a holistic and intuitive way, integrating diverse psychological approaches and healing modalities. Whatever you may be brining to therapy, I welcome you and here to walk alongside you.

Having experienced difficult times in my personal life, I have developed a deep appreciation for the transformative power that exists within each of us. I believe that therapy can serve as a catalyst to unlock this potential for healing. As an integrative practitioner, I incorporate a range of psychological theories and techniques in my practice, guided by research findings and the specific needs and preferences of my clients. I deeply value diversity and recognise that each person's experience is unique.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in establishing sustainable relationships to self, others and the world in which we dwell. Through a creative, body based approach, I can offer you a space to meet what is challenging or what weighs upon you and nourish what helps you feel well, resourced and grounded. In our sessions you can expect talking, moving, art making and creative writing but the way the sessions unfold will be guided by you and your process.

My interest in psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation began after the end of my marriage several years ago, which like many other types of losses, triggered a lot of suffering. ​Life transition, family and friends losses, the breakup of long-term relationships, stress, anxiety and depression are all part of human suffering. However, we have an innate capability, which we can strengthen, that allows us to navigate and, more importantly, learn from our most difficult life experiences.
