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 find a way to heal.

​

I am not just a guide in your journey; I am a fellow traveller.

​

I have discovered solace, connection and passion in yoga, music, the power of nature, and the simple joys of solitude. A blend of sensitivity and strength, I believe in the magic of embracing all facets of our being—the flaws, the fire, the wildness 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 growth with each step I take, acknowledging the ease that takes to type but knowing the messiness that often ensues in this "embrace".

​

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 trauma, somatic experiencing, and the complex interplay of mind and body. I have worked in a range of settings including the NHS, charitable sector, corporate workshops and schools. I have a particular interest and expertise in the treatment of trauma, addiction and recovery from abuse.  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, creating a safe space for exploration and growth. Together, we will unravel the knots within, nurturing the seeds of 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.

​

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.
