I work with individuals and with groups, offering a 'safe' environment, one which is welcoming, respectful, warm, accepting and non-judgemental. So often in current times, it can feel as if we are 'functions' as opposed to feeling, thinking human beings so it is important to me that you are able to be and feel heard and valued. I offer both talking and person-centred art therapies, in individual or group settings. I also offer integrative clinical supervision. Mindfulness tuition is also available. Both daytime and evening appointments are available.

I draw on a range of theories which include attachment, mindfulness, eco-therapy and somatic's.
At times we all need support to explore aspects of our life that have become difficult or confusing. I provide a warm and non-judgmental approach to therapy, providing a contained and confidential space for supported self-exploration of thoughts and feelings. Starting therapy can often feel difficult in itself and for this reason I offer a range of warm-up activities, grounding techniques, along with personal choice. My training and experience has been with group work and 1-to-1 therapy sessions for children, adults and families, this includes neurodiversity. I work with art therapy students whom the fee is £55.

I am an HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist, and I work with images, play, sensory and somatic exploration, depending on what feels present in the moment.
I work with adolescents and adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or finding life changes and relationships difficult to navigate. I offer a relational, trauma-informed and culturally aware space where you can feel safely met and listened to.

My approach draws on attachment theory, parts work, and somatic awareness, with room for the bigger questions about meaning and what matters most.
You're here because something needs to shift. You've done the work, read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe tried therapy before, and yet familiar patterns keep returning. You want a space that takes you seriously, moves at depth, and doesn't shy away from what's really going on.
My work is integrative, soul-centred, and direct. I bring therapeutic depth alongside a willingness to name what I'm noticing, gently but honestly. Sessions are a place to slow down, get underneath the surface, and build the kind of clarity and confidence that holds up in real life.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
