Us humans are beautifully complex creatures. In an effort to survive and protect ourselves we can develop intricate behaviours and patterns for our Being. Often these become rigid and problematic causing emotional, physical or mental dis-ease and dis-connect.
Much of this happens as a result of difficult, distressing or traumatic relationships.
My commitment for myself and for us all is to come to know these ways, allowing us to re-connect with ourselves and each other.

The Human Touch
Experience shows us that a therapeutic relationship with a skilful professional is a profound force for positive, life changing outcomes. On the surface it seems such a simple thing; to be in a room (in person or on-line) with a trained professional, another person - someone who is interested, listening, engaged, reliable, warm and compassionate who you have chosen to work with and yet it can be profound! Research into psychotherapy and counselling tells us that it is the quality of the working relationship is more impactful to positive outcomes than the modality of the therapist. The relationship is key!
Over the last 20+ years; I have had the pleasure of working with people from all walks of life and with all kinds* of situations/issues that they need support with and witnessing the positive outcomes.
Initially a bodyworker using therapeutic touch as a Craniosacral Therapist (CST), I then trained in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I bring all that holistic awareness and human understanding and experience to my therapeutic relationships today, whether working directly with the body with CST or TRE or counselling, psychotherapeutic counselling or clinical supervision.
Approaches Offered
Counselling
I am an Integrative counsellor which means I draw on various modalities according to which would be most helpful for you. In all cases our working relationship will be central. My main trainings include person-centred, psychodynamic, gestalt, relational mindfulness, core process, somatic and trauma trainings.
I work short-term and open-ended which means we can work together for as short or as long a time as is beneficial to you. My various trainings and own personal therapy mean that I can work with developmental, attachment and long standing issues from childhood, this type we call psychotherapeutic counselling.
Craniosacral Therapy
I have been working with this gentle, touch-based therapy that is both subtle and profound for decades. Clients of all ages have found it hugely beneficial. The way I work now is enriched by my additional trainings and experience in psychotherapeutic and trauma trainings.
Helpful for anxiety, stress, headaches, tmj, birth trauma, injury, digestive issues, low energy levels, poor sleep, sexual and emotional abuse, chronic pain.
I have particular interest in how it is to be human in these times, to release safely the after affects of overwhelm, shock and trauma that so many of us carry. This enables us to re-connect to our potential, to re-embody and to feel the joy of being alive.
Tension & Trauma Releasing exercises TRE
Experience TRE with a skilled and experienced practitioner to release stress, tension, and trauma stored in the body, promoting relaxation and healing.
From the work of David Bercelli, I trained with Steve Haines and qualified in 2015.
As a trauma trained therapist you can be assured of safe practice and containment.
