I have over 25 years’ experience as psychotherapist, working with Individuals, couples and teens, the LGBTQI community and in organisational psychology. I am also a Clinical Supervisor. I hope to support clients to develop greater self awareness and the practical strategies and tools to create desired and positive changes, in order to live a life that aligns with dreams and values, and to navigate individual relationship and life challenges. I have training in EMDR modality, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, CBT, Aceptance and Commitment Therapy, Transpersonal Psychology and Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy.
I have special interest suporting those from the LGBTQI community, am neurodiverse affirming and specialise in issues such as anxiety, Complex PTSD, PTSD, depression, health anxiety, OCD, relationship issues and transpersonal states. I have training in Buddhist meditation and breathwork practices, having lived and studied in Northern India for many years.
I hope to create a safe and inviting space for clients from which to explore, heal and enhance their lives. I offer a depth of experience, integrating both eastern and western approaches to mental health and personal growth and facilitate regular retreats and workshops on these topics.

If you are struggling and want to find a way forward there is help! You don't have to suffer alone and therapy can offer the opportunity to heal and forge new and more hopeful and joyful ways of being in the world. The clients I work with usually say they are feeling more self aware, have better coping strategies and feel a greater sense of ease and peace after 3-4 sessions.
