About me

Psychotherapy Experience: Stretching back over 20 years, I have worked with a wide range of people (adolescents & adults) in a variety of settings (within the NHS & privately). I have worked with long-term and short-term clients and am excited to welcome both in my practice.

Elemental Therapy: I am returning to practice after a career break to work under the umbrella of 'elemental therapy' - it has been a dream of mine to practice outdoors and the Shepherds hut is situated off-grid in a re-wilding haven. I have spent many years working with adults and children in and with nature, both therapeutically and for fun. I have also worked outdoors with groups and businesses and continue to offer this.

Life & Business Coach: I love my work as a life and business coach. I operate within a framework that understands that the imagination, body and feelings can be more aligned and ready for change than the mind realises! Paying attention to this and the interconnectedness of families, friends, workplace, culture and ultimately the planet, gives this work a powerful foundation.

My teachers: I have been influenced by a number of modalities but my touchstones over time remain a constant. These include the teachings of the Buddha, intrinsic to the body-based work of Core Process psychotherapy and the principles of interconnectedness, found in nature and echoed in eco-psychology. I also have experienced profound teachings within shamanic and ceremonial traditions.

Other things I like to do: I love painting en plain air and I exhibit in art trails and solo exhibitions. I enjoy walking with the hound and spending time with family and friends. Sometimes I dance, play music and write, and I've always got a book on the go.
