As a UKCP registered integrative movement psychotherapist, with over 25 years of experience, I offer a feminist psychodynamic somatic approach tailored to your journey.
Life is embodied and movement shapes our interactions in the world.

The body, under stress, may respond through illness, physical symptoms, behavioural patterns, and/or emotional difficulties in relationships. Physical and psychological health and intertwined. Through one-to-one sessions or group work, we'll explore the dynamic interplay between body, trauma, and identity, guiding you towards re-forming patterns, emotional regulation, personal growth and development.

I have worked in the NHS for 25 years, across a variety of settings and am currently undertaking an MA in Family Therapy. Neuro-biology and Somatic psychology are also areas that inform my practice. This includes helping individuals to understand choices around mental health medication, how the body and mind are 'one' and are both informed by the 'fight or flight' response, attachment styles and survival strategies. I use NVR (Non-Violent Resolution) to support families and young people with challenging behaviours.

My supervisees come from a variety of therapy backgrounds and I am in particularly interested to offer my services to therapists who wish to integrate somatic and creative tools to their approach.
In my work as a Psychologist and Integrative Psychotherapist I bring together cognitive and somatic ways of working to provide effective treatment. I use a range of models, including psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, mindfulness, embodiment and movement psychotherapy. Sometimes the nature of our experience is far more complex than words can describe and this form of therapy encourages the individual to integrate what often is felt ineffably. By supporting the creative potential of each individual’s body-mind, healing begins.

I am also passionate in pursuing a wholistic approach to wellbeing, inviting the exploration of creativity, embodiment practices, and somatic movement.
I have over 20 years experience working in the personal development, mentoring, and mental health fields, working with a broad range and severity of issues including: anxiety and depression, family/relationship conflicts, life transitions, trauma/abuse, challenges in being neuro-atypical, and the affirmation of sexual orientation and gender identity.

As well as using art making to bring insight, the arts are also used to support somatic health using the innate ways that art making regulates the body.
Carl Gustav Jung said that; often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain. Art psychotherapy is a non-verbal approach that has the ability to access pre-verbal and intergenerational experiences that the conscious mind may be unaware of. My practice spans working with young adults who have become socially, emotionally, psychologically and physically displaced through events beyond their control, whether it be those who find themselves seeking asylum in the UK or those from diverse backgrounds who find that they would benefit from a psychodynamic modality.

Using Somatic and mind/body approaches, Psychodynamic framework, IFS parts work, Attachment therapy, Mindfulness.
My inspiration for this career stems from a desire to connect and communicate with people. This inclination has been a thread throughout my life. Having undertaken Counselling myself I have directly experienced the cathartic and powerful change it brings about. I work with both individuals and couples/relationships. Developing a trusting relationship and being aware of what happens between us is core to effective therapy. I work to understand the situation that you need support with and look at how this is impacting your life.

Psychoynamic, somatic, humanistic, transpersonal and existential (if these words mean anything to you!).
While you may be seeking therapy to help you out of a dark or difficult time- due to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, crisis of meaning, insomnia... therapy can be a powerful gift. We learn a great deal about ourselves and others- ultimately about living life with more ease and enjoyment. We'll get curious about what you learnt growing up: your world-view, your assumptions and even your bodily responses to situations that you face today. We'll see what has worked for you and what causes pain or limits you- to unblock and clear the path forward with compassion, kindness, insight, and even at times, a sense of humour.

use a somatic approach to address present concerns, supplementing it with CBT/ACT and mindfulness exercises.
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.

The type of therapy I offer combines mindfulness, contemporary psychotherapy theories (eg trauma, somatic) underpinned by Buddhist psychology and compassion practices.
I offer a warm and non-judgmental space for you to explore whatever is happening in your life. We can talk about what is going on but also may slow down and pay attention to sensation, thoughts and feelings. By doing this, our patterns and habits may be seen more clearly, bringing some compassion and understanding to ourselves. I am especially interested in how the body holds what has happened to us and how by paying attention to this in an intuitive and creative way, a different perspective may arise. In order to get a sense of one another and how we will work together, I offer an initial free 30 minute in-person consultation.
