I have completed six years of training towards an MA and Professional Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy at Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling, and am at submission in my submission year.

I have held a private practise for over four years and have additionally spent time working as a Bereavement Counsellor for St Margarets Hospice in Yeovil.

My approach is Humanistic-Integrative which means I draw upon different theories, with the core belief that you are the expert on yourself and my role is to help you unravel your unique experiences and how they have shaped you as a person. We work to create a space in which you can explore the ways in which you relate to others and how this effects your personal world. 

My personal areas of deeper research are how early emotional experience can result in adult physiological illness, and also the multiplicity within the 'self'; the ways in which we adapt for protection, and how reaching for external 'safety' can lead to internal conflict.

I regularly attend additional CPD courses including courses on Addiction, Dissociation, Sensorimotor and Trauma Therapy. Within my BCPC training I completed the additional module on Body Process, an exploration of how the body is experienced and experiences as a whole being.

I am a Trainee Member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP registration number 2011165747) and adhere to the UKCP Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct.
