About me

I established my private practice in 2007, in Dorset, and now work exclusively online, supporting clients across the UK. Over the past 19+ years as a qualified therapist and coach, I’ve specialised in helping people heal from the deepest emotional wounds.

All of my work is somatically, trauma-informed. After extensive training with leading international professionals, I discovered Brainspotting, and it’s now at the heart of my practice - not only because I’ve witnessed profound changes in my clients, but because I’ve experienced its power myself.

Brainspotting goes far beyond traditional talking therapy. It works deeply with the brain and body’s natural healing ability. This isn’t about surface-level coping strategies just to get through the day, it’s about breaking long-held patterns and experiencing deep, embodied, lasting change.

I work with compassion, patience, and respect for your nervous system’s unique pace, ensuring every session is trauma-informed and tailored to your needs. You are in charge of your healing, and I am right there with you, every step of the way.

I know from personal experience how deeply life’s challenges can affect us - how pain, confusion, and loneliness can take both a physical and emotional toll. Like many, I’ve experienced trauma, including narcissistic abuse, and I live with a chronic health condition. I understand the complex relationship we can have with ourselves, our bodies, diagnoses, and the healing process.

The instinct to do it all alone can be strong - not least because shame often tells us we should - but healing isn’t meant to be solitary. Your unseen wounds are nothing to be ashamed of, we all have them. They are not your fault, and you deserve to experience your deep healing, and what that means for you and your life.

I’m a dancer, dreamer, doodler, and deep thinker - intuitive and empathic by nature. In the past, I never thought of myself as creative, but therapy has shown me how deeply creative we all are. Working with Brainspotting and somatic approaches is profoundly creative, it connects us to parts of ourselves we may not even be aware of.

I love sunsets and expansive views, especially by the sea on a crisp, blustery day. I’m inspired by good books, films that stay with you, and the simple joy of dancing in my living room. There was a time when I had no idea what I loved, I had wandered so far from myself that joy felt out of reach. Being able to name these things with you now is a wonderful part of my own healing.
