Life is meaningful when there is connection. To ourselves, one another and the world around us. This is health, and is inherent in each one of us. I see my work as supporting people in returning to their own inherent health via contemplative and relational psychotherapy, body-mind and creative practices. This has the power to not only impact the life of the individual, but also everything that surrounds them. It is supporting and witnessing this that has driven the rich and extensive 17 year career as a therapist I’ve had in the UK and abroad.
I graduated, lectured and supervised at one of the leading Universities for Art Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. I have 17 years experience working as an art psychotherapist across diverse settings including adult mental health, children's and families' services and within the school system. I am currently fininshing my Post Grad Diploma in Core Process Psychotherapy. I am registered with the UK Health Care Professionals’ Council and UKCP, which means that my standards of practice are checked. I am also supervised weekly a UKCP registered therapist.
I have worked as an art psychotherapist since 2007 and have rich experience working in a variety of settings. During my career in London I worked in schools, family centers and charities with diverse communities and families. In Los Angeles I worked in adult trauma treatment centers and drug and alcohol Rehabs. I have trained extensively in a variety of therapeutic models including, IFS, DBT, MBT and have a particular passion for trauma informed and mind-body approaches. I currently work in the NHS in acute psychiatric treatment and also have a private practice from my home in Bristol.
​
All of this rich experience and is currently being consolidated by my training in Core Process Psychotherapy, a mindfulness based approach to psychotherapy with an emphasis on connecting to ourselves, each other and life itself.
​
I work in a sensitive manner, taking lead from my clients and working adaptively utilising training and theory to fit the person's needs and working at their pace and depth.
