I am a Transactional Analysis practitioner who weaves this modality in with somatic awareness and healing practices, as well as having a passion for working outdoors in alliance with nature.
Hello! I am an experienced and energetic practitioner I experience many clients saying that they don’t believe that their problems are bad enough, that there must be others in need who are suffering more, or that it is indulgent to go for counselling. If you are finding it hard to cope with life, for whatever reason, remember that you deserve to be heard and that your experiences, memories and feelings are real for you. I walk alongside you as you explore your unique life experiences and bring them for healing. I'm a qualified counsellor and coach. I am also UKCP trainee psychotherapist currently working towards accreditation.

Are you familiar with the internal crow that constantly promotes negative and self-critical thoughts? I want to help you connect with your inner Robin bird, which patiently awaits discovery through self-care, self-acceptance, and self-compassion. My role is to help you understand and appreciate how each person's unique background and experiences shape their perception of themselves, others, and the world. I aim to provide guidance in comprehending and making sense of both comfortable and uncomfortable emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that often impede your overall well-being in adulthood.

I am an emotional focussed couple and family systemic psychotherapist, body dramatherapist, and clinical supervisor. I have 40 years' experience in mental health settings and 30 years in private practice. I am a warm, empathic therapist and highly value my relationship with my clients. I go on exploratory journeys with clients, with them leading and together we make meaning and sense as we navigate through difficulties and worries and at times having fun along the way. At some point the therapy stops at an agreed moment by the client when they feel they have reached a more comfortable place in their life and in their relationships.

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.
