BACP Accredited counsellor & trauma therapist

Qualified as a BACP Accredited Counsellor and an ICF Certified Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach, I established my therapy private practice in 2007, in Dorset, and now I work exclusively online, UK-wide, specialising as a trauma therapist.

I support deep healing and relief from distressing memories, anxiety, burnout and the stuck trauma of narcissistic abuse.

I use Brainspotting to help intuitive, high achieving individuals tell their story in the way they need to, and process and release the emotional pain and self-limiting beliefs that have become stuck.

With over 19 years experience working with a diverse range of clients, including in Women's Refuge and 10 years in the NHS specialising in Counselling for Depression and Clinical Supervision, I've undergone extensive training with leading international professionals to bring you the some of the most effective therapies for healing our inner wounds. 

But like you, I am more than just my qualifications and trainings; I am someone who feels deeply, cares deeply and strives to live a meaningful, purpose-driven life.

Now, I am more passionate about my work than ever, helping other deep feeling, purpose-driven individuals find the most effective ways to reconnect to their own heart and intuition, and to break free from what’s truly holding them back from living a more joyful, fulfilling life.

I understand how deeply life’s challenges can affect us, how pain, confusion, and loneliness can take a physical and emotional toll.

Like many, I’ve faced trauma, including narcissistic abuse, and I live with a chronic health condition. I know the complex relationship we can have with our selves, our bodies, diagnoses, and the healing journey. The instinct to do it all alone is strong, but healing isn’t meant to be solitary.

That’s why I’m passionate about this work. True healing requires honesty, tenderness, and permission to feel, even when it’s messy or hard to explain.

I'm a dancer, dreamer, doodler and deep thinker. I describe myself as intuitive and empathic.

In the past, I never really considered myself to be a creative person, but along with the above, my therapeutic work is deeply and powerfully creative...we are all creative in some way.

I use powerful interventions, including the neuroexperiential modality of Brainspotting, that help us to contact the parts of us that we may not be consciously in touch with ...who was I kidding that I'm not creative?! ... and this is how powerful our inner blocks can be, telling us that we are not good enough, not clever enough, not creative enough to be creative!

I love sunsets and sunrises, although I'm rarely up early enough to catch the latter! 

I love to absorb a wonderfully expansive view...add in the sunrise or sunset and that's pure bliss! 

I'm inspired by a good book and I love to wander by the sea, especially wrapped up snug and warm on a crisp cold, blustery day, there's nothing quite like blowing the cobwebs!

To get lost in a film is a real treat and I really do love to dance, even if just around my lounge, lots would say their kitchen but that's really not my favourite room in the house!

There was a time in my life when I had no idea what I loved. I'd unconsciously wandered so far away from myself that all of this was completely off my radar. It really is a joy to be able to list these for you here now.

If you're ready to reconnect to who you truly are, I'd love to hear from you. It's never too late to heal.
