About me
I bring a warm and compassionate approach to my work with people. I have fifteen years experience working with a wide range of people, within the NHS and private practice. I originally trained as a Psychologist. Through my own personal journey, as well as my growing interest in the healing powers of mindfulness, I decided to begin training in Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy at the Karuna Institute in Devon. I have my own mindfulness practice, which is an important part of my self-care and wellbeing.
My work is influenced by Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic theory, trauma research, and the psychology of mindfulness.

Testimonials
Here are some messages from people I have worked with:
“Thank you so much for everything this past year. You have helped me beyond words and I am very grateful. I have learnt a lot about myself and grown as a person and achieved things I never thought I'd be able to do”.
“I want to thank you so much for your help and support. I have made progress that I didn't think was possible. I feel so much happier and content, and for once I believe in myself and know that I am worthy of love and care. Thank you for giving me space and safety to discuss things that I didn't even know had affected me so much. Thank you for your kindness and for always listening. As I embark on this next phase of my life, I know I will have the strength to deal with the challenges that come my way, thanks to you”.
"Thank you for your kindness and understanding, and for helping me to be kind and understanding to myself".
