Uncovering who we are and what we have the potential to be is a constant journey. I accompany others as they explore who they are and who they want to be in the world – Whether that’s through their own body-based wisdom, through artistic representation of a critical turning point in their life, or through understanding themselves more deeply via the lens of neurodiversity.

I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years’ experience of work in the NHS and I’ve spent twenty years in community and charity work as a consultant, supervisor, mentor and community researcher.

Are you a deep thinker who really values a space where you can be deeply seen and heard. Maybe you have already had some talk therapy and you are looking to go a little deeper and incorporate some body-based practices. You might be going through a challenging transition or grappling with issues around your identity. There are so many things that might have brought you here. To this moment where you are looking through these listings trying to find a practitioner that you match with.

Building a therapeutic relationship is something that is very sacred to me. Giving you the space to come as you are and speak about what’s really on your heart every week is such an honour. As a neurodivergent clinician myself I know just how precious these spaces can be when you are feeling on the edge of burnout or just want some support as you take on something big in your life.

I am an integrative therapist inspired by systemic and narrative approaches to mental health – which take, a non-pathologising stance grounded in the knowledge and wisdom of the people we work with. I have been working in private practice for over 5 years and I rarely open to new clients, but I am really excited to be able to offer a few spaces for a small number of weekly clients.

I am offering a new way of working with me where I incorporate all my training in body psychotherapy and a somatic-based breathwork training – a combination of talk therapy and some sessions with breathwork.
During these sessions, as with regular therapy, it would be important to get a really good picture of you and what has brought you to therapy, understand what your needs are as a client, and what you really want to be different in your life. When we have sessions incorporating breathwork we will start with a conversation and check in; then there will be a 15-minute guided breathwork session giving us lots of time afterwards to debrief the session together.
Breathwork can be a profound tool that supports people to expand their capacity. It gives people more room to feel what is actually happening without being overwhelmed by it. Each person’s experience of this work is unique but many people report:
• Feeling more able to choose how to respond to challenges in life rather than react.
• Feeling more able to freely express themselves.
• Feeling their relationships with others are more open and connected.
• Having more room to be with the full spectrum of human experience.
• Feeling more present to the joy and wonder of life.
• Feeling more connected to their creativity and aliveness.

As a neurodivergent therapist I would especially like to invite neurodivergent people to get in touch; whether you have a diagnosis or want to explore areas that feel related to the experiences of neurodivergent people. I bring a neuroaffirmative approach informed by my extensive clinical and personal experience.
