“I have a passion for integrating mind, body and spirit into the work we do and applying current, up-to-date advances in the treatment of trauma in a creative and formulation-based way.  I have a broad and varied experience having worked in different settings in both private organisations – I was clinical director of a residential trauma unit and ran an out-patient clinic in Harley Street – and as clinical psychologist and lecturer in the National Health Service.  I have specialised primarily in trauma, abuse and their many manifestations.  My main aim is to help clients to observe, understand and change patterns laid down in childhood and through acute stress.  Attunement is key and accompanying clients on such a journey and seeing them transform and accept is a huge privilege.”

“For me, relationship is at the heart of psychotherapy – a collaborative process between therapist and client, providing opportunities for self-reflection and insight in a safe, confidential and supportive space.

I specialise in treating complex trauma; having gained valuable experience in the past from working with women suffering from perinatal trauma, as well as with refugees and asylum-seekers, many of whom have had to endure war, torture, persecution and devastating loss.

I believe that experiences of deep distress and devastation can become catalysts for enormous personal development, an awakening of profound insight and authenticity. I feel privileged to support people in that transformational process.”

“Every individual is unique in their growth, and it is an honour to bear witness to this in my work with people. I believe that you arrive in treatment with a wealth of knowledge and experience, and I spend time developing a shared understanding of your road travelled so far. This helps me truly meet you where you are, with acceptance and non-judgement. Fundamental to this process is a sense of safety, trust, and collaboration. I believe that therapy is not just about reducing symptoms of distress, but also helping people thrive and bring vitality to their lives.”

“I work from within a relational approach, which places a relationship of trust, presence, non-judgmental and open dialogue and confidentiality at the basis of the work between client and therapist. My work places the client and their experience at the centre of the work. I base my work on deep empathy for others and on conscious attunement with my client.

It is my experience that within a trusted and holding therapeutic relationship previous attachment-based trauma can be re-patterned, survival-based fear structures can be transformed and new healthier ways of being can be experienced and embedded in life. This leads to a reduction in distressing symptoms, an increase in self-regulation and overall improvement in health, functioning and well-being.”
