My clients often have an interest in spirituality, or the transpersonal (this is by no means obligatory!
Reaching out for support can be difficult. My wish is to offer you a welcoming, warm, authentic space, where you can be just as you are. Whether that is full of tears, anger, anxiety or joy (therapy is about connecting with ALL of you- not just the pain and wounds- your strengths and pleasures too). I offer Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), talk therapy and conscious connected breathwork. I work in a trauma informed way, bringing in mindfulness, the body, creativity, sand tray work and the breath. I work from a wooden cabin at a retreat centre that has wonderful views into nature (photos below).

Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy is a relational and embodied enquiry in which we can together explore how it is that you ‘do’ you. I offer a setting of compassion, acceptance and non-judgemental listening, and value these qualities in our working relationship. I am interested in what your experience is and, as you can begin to feel understood, in how you might begin to express and experience yourself differently. Having a place to bring yourself, your worries, your issues, can be a relief and can be deeply rewarding as we honour the feelings that move inside you and allow your own innate wisdom to find it's way.

Hello. We all need someone to talk to when life is difficult. Counselling can help you understand more about who you are, to make better sense of past or current events, your feelings and how you relate. I seek to provide a heartfelt, safe and accompanied exploration of any issues you bring. I will seek to create a trusting alliance with you and provide a place you can find and be yourself. The therapy I practice -Core Process- works with feelings, emotions, thoughts and the felt senses towards supporting you to move through any fears and anxieties and generate a greater sense of health and wellbeing into your everyday life.

It can be challenging to share our concerns and fears with others. We often worry that our struggles might be too heavy for our friends and family. I provide a private and secure environment where you can safely explore your thoughts and feelings. There is no loss or challenge too insignificant to discuss in therapy. You are not required to rush through your healing; this is your personal space to release the weight of life's burdens and reflect on your current and past experiences at your own speed. I offer a nurturing platform and my expertise to support your journey of personal growth and acceptance.

I work as an integrative therapist with a core foundational training in person-centred therapy. I provide a safe, confidential and trauma informed space to help explore what to do with this ‘one wild and precious life’. What can help with this is providing counselling in natural, outdoor settings. For this we can utilise the quiet and spacious grounds of Dartington Hall for ecotherapy. I believe that any healing is closely connected to nature. Being outdoors can help to feel less confined and more free to explore thoughts and process emotions.

I specialise in working with people who are troubled by relationship difficulties, family conflict and estrangement, and self-identity - particularly neurodivergence (ADHD, AuDHD and Autism). Life can get complicated, but clients tell me I reach places other therapists haven't. I'll help you to make sense of your experiences and find a way forward that feels more manageable, and I'll engage with what you bring, not just listen and nod.

You may feel you are coping with the demands of daily life, yet carry an inner sense of overwhelm, confusion, or a feeling that something essential is missing. Perhaps you appear capable on the outside but inwardly experience disconnection from yourself, difficulty trusting your own thoughts and decisions, repeating relationship patterns, anxiety, or a longing for a deeper sense of meaning and belonging. You may find yourself questioning who you are beneath the roles, expectations, and adaptations that have helped you survive, while sensing a quiet longing to reconnect with your true self and the life you were meant to live.

Sometimes life looks manageable from the outside, while feeling much harder underneath, especially after a loss, a diagnosis, an ending, or a change that has pulled the rug away. I work with loss in its many forms; bereavement, illness, the end of a relationship or role, and losses of identity and direction that are harder to name. I also work with men who are used to keeping going and coping quietly. If talking doesn't come naturally, that isn't a barrier, it's often where we start.

Transpersonal Counsellors
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.

How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.

Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.

What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
