About Me

I find it a great privilege to be alongside you as you build a stronger sense of self and more fulfilling life. My therapy journey began in my late twenties when I began experiencing physical symptoms of anxiety that became unbearable. In therapy I learned to relate to myself compassionately and find peace and self-acceptance.

​

My four-year psychotherapy diploma in Transactional Analysis from an Integrative Perspective is complemented by various ongoing trainings that I attend; examples include trauma-informed practice, understanding neurodiversity, the therapeutic use of psychedelics, and anti-oppressive practice in the therapy room. For relationship and couples therapy I draw on both Transactional Analysis and my training in the Imago technique​. I am currently enrolled in a year long Somatic and Interactive Trauma training with Dr. Ralf Vogt of the Leipzig Trauma Institute, and regularly attend psychotherapy conferences both in the UK and overseas.

​

Alongside my psychotherapy career I have over fifteen years of experience in higher education as a cancer researcher, biomedical science lecturer and mentor. I have played competitive sport at an international level and have an interest in the mind-body connection in this context. I currently volunteer delivering athlete wellbeing support for the England roller derby training squad.

I am a Member of the British Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BACP) and Trainee Member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) in advanced clinical training towards full registration. I adhere to the codes of ethics of both bodies. I am in regular clinical supervision and a part of the Professional Development Group at TA East. I am also a member of the International Integrative Psychotherapy Association (IIPA).
