My therapeutic practice is also informed and supported by my ongoing interest in Buddhist philosophy and Insight Meditation.
I work online with adult autistic Individuals and with Couples in the UK. I provide an accessible & compassionate service that reduces distress & enables people to address what is difficult. If we have not been understood and accepted we may develop ways of being and doing that do not support our well being. We keep our true selves hidden from others and whilst this protects us, it can cause much pain and limit us. With an understanding therapist we can trust, we begin to make sense of who we are, how we are and what has happened to us in our lives. We can be truer to ourselves and live with more confidence, ease and acceptance.

I understand that considering to approach someone to discuss private and intimate matters is not easy, but this can be life changing. Experiencing emotional difficulties that affect your moods and behaviour are more common than you think. This can significantly impact a wide range of aspects in your day-to-day life and relationships. Therapy is often an effective way to reach a better understanding of yourself and the causes of your emotional discomfort. It may also help you to find the best way forward to overcome challenges and move on to experience meaningful life improvements simultaneously alleviating pressures and stress.

Diverse life experiences from a background in design, teaching and education and a number of years as a Buddhist monk training in meditation/mindfulness and currently studying an Msc in Neuroscience, inform my practice.
Suffering with our mental health is very hard to find relief from, finding ourselves going around in circles and losing touch with our previous lifestyle, wondering 'am I ever going to find a way out?' I offer you face-to-face sessions in a nurturing, non-judgemental environment . I work as an Integrative therapist so that your sessions are tailored to your needs. I predominantly draw upon Person Centred Therapy, ACT, CBT and Transactional Analysis to address issues such as: anxiety; trauma; depression/lack of motivation; disturbed sleep; performance/productivity, relationships/social interaction; existential angst/lack of meaning

My practice as a psychotherapist is informed by a blend of philosophical perspectives from both Person-Centred and Buddhist psychology.
Reasons to seek out therapy are, much like ourselves, varied, nuanced and complex. A deeply empathic, attentive presence, warmth and trust for how you process things and what you decide to bring to our sessions, are at the heart of my practice. As a therapist, I provide a therapeutic relationship which, over time, creates a space in which deep healing can occur. I hope to help you see yourself and make meaning of your experience(s) in ways which were not available before. My work is therefore centred around attending to the whole person, with equal respect and worth for both content and process, both feeling and thinking.

Hello, and thank you for reading my profile. Are you looking for long-term, in-depth, psychotherapy? Or do you have a particular issue you need to explore in counselling? Perhaps you're a qualified practitioner looking for a clinical supervisor. I could be that person for you, if we find we are a good fit. Whichever best describes you, my work is underpinned with an understanding of spirituality as a personal jorney into the nature of suffering. I think of spirituality as a pathway to self-development. Specifically, I work with mindfulness and Buddhist psychology to explore your current state of being, in mind, body and spirit.

I’m a person-centred counsellor; integrating Jungian and Buddhist understanding into my approach.
We all experience difficulties at one time or another. It could be that our relationships aren’t all we'd like them to be. Or perhaps we feel anxious, depressed, lonely, or we’re grieving a loss. Perhaps we behave in ways that we'd rather not, or that we don't understand. Or maybe life has lost its meaning, we've lost our sense of direction, feel stuck, or just don't know who we are any more. Counselling offers a safe, confidential space in which to explore such issues in relationship with someone who is skilled, non-judgemental, and really there for you. A space in which to come to terms with things, and allow them to change.

As a practising Buddhist and mindfulness teacher, I look at the soul's journey through a lens of working with our mind and hearts in order to free up energy to achieve what we want in life.
I offer counselling to people who are in some sort of transition in their lives. Often people come to me when they're feeling stuck, isolated or low. I often work with people in their twenties, thirties and forties who are facing some sort of mid-life transition. You might be weighing up what is important to you, and how to take the next steps in your life. I work with people who are often from marginalised groups, for example, LGBTQ+ people and/or people from Black and ethnic minorities. You might want to find out a way to live your life that feels authentic and unblock energy to achieve your goals.

Through the effective integration of mindfulness and Self-Compassion in Therapy (SCIP), Buddhist psychology and the Person-Centred Approach you will discover transformational inner resources and insights.
Perhaps a particular event, experience or relationship, whether recent or in childhood, has left you feeling wounded, overwhelmed and unable to live with the sense of freedom and open heartedness that you long for. You may feel an underlying sense of never belonging, of shame and unworthiness. You recognise it’s time that you gave yourself the chance to try for a more satisfying and fulfilled life. Perhaps simply you need to talk through your concerns confidentially with someone who isn’t a friend or family member. Whatever you are bringing you need to feel safe, understood and experience meaningful change.

I offer a free 50-minute consultation near the centre of Frome to see if working together feels right. Building trust takes time and it is my hope that meeting in person will give you the best sense of how I work. As a registered UKCP Psychotherapist in training, I provide Mindfulness-based Core Process Psychotherapy—a trauma-informed, awareness-based, approach that draws from both ancient Eastern and contemporary Western perspectives on the mind and body. In this somatic approach to psychotherapy, we work with an awareness of the sensations of the body to support an understanding of how we find ourselves in the present moment.
