Transpersonal Therapy

I've been working with clients for over ten years, and my approach has continually evolved. My primary training is in a holistic and transpersonal model of therapy, which means I work with the whole person - mind, body, feelings and hold the perspective that the problems we face also hold potential that might be trying to emerge.

I use an integrative, relational and embodied approach and believe therapy should adapt to meet each client’s needs. This means our sessions might sometimes involve deep discussions on concepts and theories, while at other times, we may focus more on emotions, or imagery, or something which feels more ‘coach-like’ in style. Throughout, I remain attentive to my own and my clients embodied experience.

I am deepening my interest in the body and have trained in somatic trauma work and am in the middle of training in body psychotherapy. I am also supervised by a body psychotherapist. As our understanding of trauma continues to develop and the historical split between mind and body lessens, I feel it is becoming increasingly important to include the body in the therapeutic process. You don’t need to have any prior knowledge or interest in this and I will only work with the body to the extent that my clients are comfortable with.

I’ll always prioritise what feels safe and comfortable for you, ensuring our work together remains collaborative. My interest in embodiment also reflects my passion for health, which led me to complete two distinct 8-week trainings in intrinsic and holistic health.

Sessions are held in a garden studio at my home, with a view out on to my garden. I find the connection with nature and the outdoors is an important part of the therapeutic experience and you are welcome to make use of that connection as much or as little as you feel appropriate.
