My path to this work began long before my formal training in 2014. Early on, amid the intricate dynamics of a bustling family, I discovered a profound sensitivity to the hidden layers within individuals—the stories beneath the surface, the pain masked by a smile. Like many who walk the path of healing, I too have felt the weight of suffering and walked through the shadows of trauma. I intimately understand the struggle of living a life that feels unfamiliar, disconnected from one's true self. I know the courage it takes to embrace change, to trust in the process, and to not just heal but to alchemise that pain to your very own fire source and softest wisdom.

​

I am not just a guide in your journey; I am a fellow traveller. I lean into my depth and edges and f up along the way. But I do so now with the fiercest compassion

​

I have discovered solace, connection and passion in yoga, music, the power of nature, and the simple joys of solitude. The moon is my guide. I believe in the magic of embracing all facets of our being—the grit, the fire, the softness, the wildness and the nuance within. As a mother, partner, daughter, and friend, I navigate the intricate dance of relationships with empathy and imperfection. I am a perpetual student of life, embracing new experience centred by my bodies wisdom and cyclical nature, moving with its own unique rhythm. Learning to listen to this rhythm has been one of the most profound and revolutionary experiences so far.

​

Professionally, I am a trained psychotherapist with a foundation in integrative psychotherapy from Regent’s School of Psychology and Psychotherapy, London. My journey of learning extends beyond certifications; delving into the lived experience, somatic dialogue and the complex interplay of mind and body. I have worked in a range of settings including the NHS, charitable sector, group workshops and schools. I have a particular interest and expertise in trauma and women's health. I am committed to ongoing education, diving into the latest research and experiential workshops to enrich my practice.

​

In our sessions, I offer a blend of compassion and challenge, holding a safe and creative space for exploration and expansion. Together, we will unravel the knots within, making space for your truest, grittiest, wildest expression to bring deep healing and transformation. I bring my full, human self into the room, recognising the most profound aspect of therapy is the space we create together, as two humans sitting together in a safe, open and honest environment always leaving room for a little magic and silliness. 

​

I believe in your inherent capacity for healing, and I am here to walk alongside you with compassion, challenge and curiosity as you journey back to yourself.
