What do you need to get your life on track, to feel fulfilled, relevant, in control and in the drivers seat? Sometimes we just need a bit of support to get there, an outside eye, a gentle challenge. We always need, and deserve to be treated with sensitivity, respect and dignity. Life is full of challenges, but you don't need to face them alone. Letting someone in can be scary, but you really do deserve to be supported, and you have every right to live a fulfilling, rich and creative life.

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.

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.

Life can be demanding, and at times deeply overwhelming. Stress, anxiety, depression, and relational challenges can make it hard to stay balanced. I believe psychological therapy offers a powerful path toward understanding, healing, and growth. With the right support, people can learn and even master the art of navigating life with resilience. I practise an integrative approach, drawing on multiple evidence‑based therapies to meet each person’s unique needs, especially when working with complexity.

You are welcome here just as you are, however dark, difficult or unclear things seem to be; however lost, sad, confused, anxious or vulnerable you might feel. ​​​​​​​​I believe that therapy can offer hope when it feels like there is precious little of it. However, 'healing' might not involve a cure, but rather a coming to terms with our lives, which may be painful; a grieving, and an imaginative approach to what the symptoms of our distress might be pointing to. ...maybe there is wisdom and gold in the tears and grief. ...maybe we could gently make space for the parts of us that we struggle with and reject

BA in Contemplative (Humanistic and Transpersonal) Psychology and Traditional Eastern Arts.
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.

In my practice, it is my privilege to walk alongside individuals who are seeking to heal themselves as they grow through life.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed by life, but keep going because they’ve had to. People who long to be understood without having to explain themselves, who are tired of holding everything together. Maybe you live with trauma, chronic illness, or emotional patterns that don’t make sense—but you know there’s more to you than this. You want to feel safe in your body, clearer in your mind, and more connected to yourself. You don’t need surface-level advice. You need someone who really sees you—someone who can help you meet the parts of yourself you’ve had to push away, and find a way forward that finally feels like yours.

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.
