I have worked for many years with people who have experienced trauma, bereavement and transitions of all kinds, or who simply feel not right in themselves following adverse life circumstances. Such experiences can result in many difficulties: feelings of dread, anger, shame or estrangement from yourself, your body and the world. 

 

My aim is to offer you full acceptance of where you are now, and a safe and genuine relationship in which you can flourish. I offer walking sessions in which movement and contact with the natural world accompanies our sessions, and online sessions in which you can work in the safety and comfort of your own home.

 

I work with adults of all ages, and I welcome clients of all backgrounds, sexualities, relationship styles and gender identifications. I have a particular interest in the parenting of children of diverse gender identities and sexualities, and I am a member of the Person Centred Association’s special interest group in Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity. My pronouns are she/her.

 

While the core of my work is within the person-centred approach, which says that psychological wellbeing relates to the unique ways all of us find meaning and can be ourselves within the circumstances of our lives, I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how patterns of belief and behaviour can have an impact on how we are in the world, and Focussing, which listens to the unique quiet voice of the bodily felt sense. I bring all these perspectives to my work, and in my responses to you.
