I am a psychotherapist with advanced clinical training in Psychosynthesis Counselling and Psychotherapy. My work is further informed by specialist training in somatic trauma integration, transpersonal and spiritual dimensions of experience and Dialectical Behavioural approaches.
Integrating relational, psychodynamic and body-based perspectives, I work with individuals and couples, with a particular interest in identity, creativity, relationships, and the unconscious. Prior to training in psychotherapy, I spent many years working within healing, spiritual, and somatic traditions, which continue to inform her appreciation for the unconscious, imagination, and the symbolic life of the psyche.
Alongside my clinical work, I have also spent over a decade working across the creative industries, in public-facing and creative roles. This has given me particular insight into the psychological demands of visibility, performance, identity, and creative labour in high-performance environments.
I work collaboratively and intuitively with clients, drawing on different models and techniques, to explore patterns of thought, emotion, embodiment, and relationship, supporting greater self-understanding, integration and grounding. Every session is client lead and tailored to your needs.
Alongside my clinical practice, I privately write and speaks on contemporary culture, and I am currently working on a book.
