I have MA in Dance Movement Psychotherapy (ADMPUK) and 10 years of clinical experience, where over 6 years Arts/ Playtherapist experience with children.
Do you sometimes feel stuck or limited by words? Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) offers an alternative to talking therapies. As our bodies hold the unconscious aspects of ourselves, movement-based therapy can be particularly effective in addressing feelings held somatically. Dance Movement Psychotherapists believe that changes in the body & movement patterns are reflected in the mind & thinking patterns, and vice versa.
DMP can help you feel more attuned to your body, support emotional regulation, reduce stress, improve confidence, and help to form a stronger sense of Self.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or experiencing a quieter sense of stuckness, fear, or grief that needs some attention.

You may be exploring counselling because you have been impacted by a significant event or trauma, and life feels unpredictable and hard to manage.

Working collaboratively with my clients, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space for individuals and couples to explore their experiences.
I am trained to work on a wide range of issues, with particular expertise in anxiety and self-esteem, trauma, relationship and attachment difficulties, life transitions, loss and bereavement.

I work with children and teenagers, using play, art, and talking therapy to help them express and understand their feelings.
I work with children facing anxiety, low mood, school struggles, self-harm, and emotions they can’t always explain. I have supporter families through divorce, illness, bereavement, and trauma—including abuse and sudden loss. Using play, creativity, and talking therapy, I create a safe space for children to make sense of their experiences.

Psychological support is about investing in you. Life can be chaotic, intense, confusing, and we can be left feeling disconnected from ourselves, our lives, and the people around us. Sometimes we just need some space to stop and think. Psychological support is also about developing a deeper understanding of yourself - who you are, what you need, what matters to you. For others, it's about building on existing skills - how to get more out of relationships, improving communication, being more assertive, boosting your sleep and performance, learning to be the best version of yourself.

I use schema therapy and other attachment based approaches to help those who struggle due to adverse childhood experiences, including trauma, leading to lasting difficulties.
You'll be surprised by how much can change for you. I am able to help people from all backgrounds and those who have exhausted all other options. I am trained to provide individuals, couples, and groups with evidence-based treatments for a range of difficulties that impact well-being and quality of life. My clients struggle with low mood and anxiety, and are affected by issues such as relationship problems, low self-esteem, trauma, sexual problems, loss and bereavement, or substance misuse. Many also experience a number of issues at once, making problems seem insurmountable. They often come to therapy feeling stuck and tired.
