I am a chartered psychologist drawing on eastern philosophies, compassion focused practices and evidence based psychology to help clients fully understand experiences, to create dialogue and compassion for all the different emotions, thoughts, behaviours, impulses experienced.

I draw on talking, role plays, meditations, visualisations and other practices that might help get to know experiences in more depth.
