I am a certified practitioner of Gabor Mate's somatic based psychotherapeutic approach, compassionate inquiry, and a certified CI private mentor. I have a 20 year background in teaching and mentoring in psychology, philosophy and religious/moral studies. Along with my professional career I have three decades of experience exploring body-mind practices throughout Europe and Asia.
My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in building a safe therapeutic relationship. I offer my clients a non-judgemental presence, curiosity, humility, playfulness and a deep desire to work alongside you on your journey of healing and personal growth.
I feel blessed to be a compassionate inquiry practitioner. It has been transformative for me and my clients in many ways. My clients come from a wide range of backgrounds wanting to explore deeply rooted patterns, associated with a range of topics, including, addiction, relationships, depression, identity, religion/spirituality, child abuse and ADHD.
Sessions are held in person at my home in Edinburgh and online over zoom.
I am also delighted to offer individual and group mentoring sessions for CI trained therapists looking to develop their personal and professional skills, goals and competencies.
