About This Practitioner

To say I am passionate about supporting others, is an understatement, I love what I do and was drawn to being inquisitive and interested in how humans are all so wonderfully different from as young as I can remember.

I was very lucky to have the experience of being brought up in Africa, which enriched my love and understanding of diverse cultures and backgrounds.

I experienced a huge amount of loss, change, trauma, uncertainty and exposure to adult life at a very young age, something I too feel has enabled me to be a better Therapist . "We learn through what we go through", as the saying goes.

I have always been interested in how negative life experiences can impact people so differently and how the mind body and spirit are so connected.

I am a firm believer that we have the power and resources within us to overcome anything we want to overcome, with the right support at the right time and with the right approach.

It is no surprise that I was drawn to work in Health, Social Care and Education for nearly 40 years within a variety of roles.

I provide a safe, non judgmental, grounded space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.

If you think you might like to work with me and that I might be the right fit for you, please get in touch.
