Are you constantly experiencing relationship challenges, leaving you feeling distressed, bewildered, let down and perhaps angry and self-blaming for repeating these patterns? It can be utterly devastating to keep finding ourselves stuck in this way. Whether in intimate relationships, family dynamics, friendships or work situations, I can support you to explore the origins of these difficult issues, leading to healthier relationships with others. I can help with life transitions, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, loss, grief, challenging relationships and more. Also, those in the Creative/Performing Arts Community or Film/ Media.

Some things just need untangling. You don't need all the answers to be ready for this work, just a sense that the same patterns keep showing up. The same conflicts, the same pull toward what hurts, the same fog after loss or betrayal. You wonder: why do I keep ending up here? I'm not the kind of therapist who stays on the surface or walks on eggshells. I dig deep, at your pace, no fixed script. Whether this is your first time seeking support or you've been here before, you are in the right place. Clients leave feeling "human" again. Not broken but clearer, with a real path forward. Ready to stop circling? Let's untangle it together.

Are you struggling with a relationship or juggling the competing demands of your private and professional life? Are you feeling stuck and uncertain about how to fulfil your potential? Have you recently lost someone close to you? I first sought help as a young mother and the benefits were so enormous, I chose to train as a psychotherapist myself. I work one-to-one and with couples, helping you to identify patterns in your relationship with others, and with yourself, and establishing ways of changing those patterns that do not serve you.

I am trained in transpersonal therapy.
I have 30 years experience in psychology from academic study, work psychology and now private practice. Finding a therapist can feel like a minefield. Most important is someone to talk to that you feel comfortable with, and who can of course help. I understand how confusing and nerve-wracking it can be to take the first step. I provide clients with a supportive space in which to unpack things. I will help you to get a better handle on what is happening for you. I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, childhood trauma, midlife issues, neurodivergence as well as difficulty understanding feelings.

A very warm welcome. Are you looking for a supportive, reflective space to work through your difficulties? Sometimes it’s hard to talk to family or friends and we need someone who offers a fresh perspective with warmth and understanding. Together we can explore whatever is holding you back and help you find a way to move beyond it. All topics are welcome. Currently many of my clients are interested in uncovering a better sense of who they are, or finding their own authentic voice or inner strength, rather than pleasing others.

I support adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, grief, or developmental trauma. Many feel frozen, hypervigilant, or disconnected from their bodies due to old imprints and attachment wounds. They come seeking a deeper connection to themselves and a way to release held patterns. I help them move forward by gently re-patterning the nervous system. Integrating the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)—a music-based listening therapy—we acoustically stimulate the vagus nerve to restore safety from the bottom up, building emotional resilience and inner stillness.

Our true nature is free, flowing, wild and energetic. Childhood traumas create defences, because our survival instinct was so strong it protected us at all costs. The cost is our experience now, disconnection from our-self, our body, others, life. Resulting in difficult relationships, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and self harming behaviour. The decision to come to therapy is a brave one, it is a statement to yourself and the Universe that you no longer want to just survive, but to live with purpose, connection and aliveness. The therapeutic relationship encourages this life force energy, giving space for wholeness to grow.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others, and wondering if therapy could help. People seek therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes during a difficult time, other times when everyday life feels particularly challenging. For some, there isn’t a specific issue, but a quiet sense of emptiness or lack of direction. Therapy offers a space to slow down and explore what is happening in your life with compassion and curiosity. It is a place where you can feel acknowledged, listened to and supported, and where we can begin to make sense of your experiences and who you are.

I work with thoughtful, psychologically minded people who may be successful and high-functioning, yet feel stuck in patterns they cannot simply think their way out of. They come to me with anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, trauma, loss, low self worth or a sense that something needs to change. Together, we look beneath the presenting problem to understand what the mind and nervous system are trying to protect, bringing insight, emotion, body and behaviour into greater coherence. The aim is not simply to cope better, but to create meaningful, lasting change.

Humanistically recognising the needs of an individual ,we see how trauma can be held at a very deep level. Working from the story of an individuals early negative & positive childhood experiences and using Integrative therapy in a number of ways to help the process of getting to one's core beliefs, helps to create a safe space for them to explore and release old patterns. This happens by building a trust with the client to allow their vulnerability to come through. Then, looking at the blocks or defences, via counselling and body Psychotherapy, a unique holistic approach to wellbeing, allows the journey back to health.

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.
