About me
I am an experienced psychotherapist with a masters degree in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy, and I am an Integral Sound Healing practitioner with a passion and commitment for helping people through the difficulties they face.
I have additional trainings in Energy Psychology (working psychologically with the energy systems of the body) and several different energy-based healing modalities, perhaps the most well-known being Reiki.
Over the last couple of years I have done several trainings in Ecotherapy (the intentional therapeutic use of being in connection with nature) reflecting my passion for nature and my belief in the potential for a deepening relationship with the natural world to support our wellbeing, healing and growth. I am currently creating an outside theraputic space to more fully include this connection to nature in my therapy practice.
Together these influences support and augment my ability to co-creatively work with people in a multi-faceted holistic way encompassing not just the psychological and emotional but working with the body and spiritual dimensions, the soulful self.
I have worked in a variety healthcare settings from hospitals during my previous career as a nurse, to a bereavement service, counselling centres, an Employment Assistance Programme and seeing clients in my private practice.
Today I work for a Trauma Service charity working with individuals suffering from PTSD and in private practice.
I am dedicated and committed to my own process of growth, learning and development in all areas which enables me to understand from the inside out the process of dealing with crisis, challenge and transformative change.
I am registered with the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) as a Psychotherapist and abide by their code of ethics and as is required my work is fully supervisied.
