I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy society, accredited Integrative Nutritionist and Functional Health Coach from the Integrative institute of Nutrition, Creative Performance, Inner leadership and Voice Empowerment Coach from CMI and CIF, Meditation and Breath-work Facilitator from TMI.

​

In the process of both my own healing and becoming qualified, I have learned that healing is non-linear and happens in waves. In my experience there was no better journey to take, other than the journey of my own healing. I believe in the magic of the process and trust it. I am passionate about holding spaces for human beings as they unfold and come into the light of their unique, empowered and chosen potential.  

 

Working together will enable you gain clarity on what's making you feel the way you feel, and what makes certain thoughts overrule your life. You will get a comprehensive understanding of what is wellness for you and what are the healthy coping mechanisms that can work for you. Hand in hand, I work with you to grow and evolve in a more psychologically informed way that is aligned with your unique sense of empowerment and wellbeing.   I hold no more knowledge that what you know inside of you. That is your paramount source of healing. I hold your space with humility and grace as I facilitate and invite you back to travel into the depth of the alchemy within.

What Can I Help with:

​

Whatever it is you are going through, if life feels challenging, overwhelming, muddling, tight, uneasy or stuck on the inside or outside; get in-touch for an initial consultation.  Initial consultations are what I consider preparatory sessions for our work. I get to understand more about what brings you here and now, you get to meet and know how I work and if we feel we can work together we contract for our sessions to follow. 

​​

I understand that the decision to start therapy requires many considerations, if you are uncertain or require more information, contact me for a Wellbeing Consultation.

​

Psychological Approaches:

 

My 121 sessions (f2f and online) offer a multi-modular psychological therapeutic approaches and modalities to healing, honouring your neurodivergence, bio-individuality, and how you choose to define your personal culture and identity. The therapeutic modalities I incorporate are grounded in the belief that each individual heals in their own unique way. To support what works for your healing best, I integrate a variety of psychological frameworks and theories to support a comprehensive (Mind-Heart-Body) recovery and healing. These approaches include but not limited to Person Centred, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Attachment and Existential. Each session is tailored to your specific needs and individuality, ensuring that our work together is centred on your readiness and inner pace. I strive to work integratively and functionally, creating a space where your path towards healing is fully professionally supported.
