About

I trained at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC) and hold a Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling.

I have worked as a counsellor at the SWAN Project in Bristol, Southside Family Project in Bath and as a practitioner with Make a Move, offering movement therapy to mothers with postnatal depression and anxiety.

I have a background in dance, performance and writing and am a home educating parent. I’m passionate about healing intergenerational trauma through parenting, and self directed and consent based learning. I have my own creative and mindful practices; I write and read, move and create.

I came to train as a therapist after years of my own therapy from a young age, which had a revolving cast of practitioners and very little autonomy about who or what I worked on. I walked away from this experience feeling that no-one had really ever heard me. After studying for a degree in Dance and Creative Writing and embarking on making performance work and touring I felt that it was the time to move in a different direction and started training to be a therapist. I have undertaken further therapies which have all been a part of my growth and training to offer a safe, secure and meaningful therapeutic relationship.

I am committed to further professional development and undertake further training, reading and research. Alongside this, I hold that you are the expert of you, and that you are the best person to share with me how the things you deal with affect you.
