About me

I have always been fascinated by how as humans we make meaning, how we experience life, and how we come to understand ourselves. I studied Psychology at university and worked therapeutically in both the NHS and in a range of other mental health settings afterwards. Through this work, I deepened my values and passions of a more holistic way of living-well and found myself wanting to work more with the causes of our difficulties.

Following a personal period of loss, I trained as a counsellor and also began my own therapeutic journey; for me this changed everything and allowed me to really meet and to change the relationship I had with myself.

After graduating from counselling I worked as a group work therapist and also in private practice. I love counselling and feel so privileged to be able to work alongside clients. For me, the power of counselling lies in that it allows us to develop a deeper awareness of ourselves - of our beliefs we hold, often subconsciously, and of our body-felt sense of the world - allowing us to attend, nourish and challenge ourselves - to learn to trust and extend ourselves whilst feeling more rooted in our lives.

I have always felt most liberated and most myself when I’m outside; I think food tastes better outside, conversations flow more easily and emotional tangles feel less constrictive. I feel a sense of belonging in being in relation and in interacting with all the magic the more-than-human holds. But, most importantly like many, know that we urgently need to grow a more reciprocal relationship with the more-than-human.

I am currently learning Nick Totton’s Wild Therapy which is the weaving of two true and passionate parts of me, parts that I’ve always known I had to join. I have lots of dreams, ideas and plans mixings and swirling together for where to take this so please keep an eye out this summer!
