About Me

After university I had a career in finance, spending over a decade working at some of the world's leading global investment banks. Whilst on a parenting career break I decided I wanted to create a more nurturing and fulfilling career path. I therefore embarked upon studying and training in different areas of holistic health and wellness. I have accumulated nearly 20 years of extensive training and experience in a wide array of healing modalities, including complementary therapies, Reiki, eating disorder treatment, counselling, psychotherapy, trauma therapy and EMDR. I’m also the founder of Trauma Insight, a trauma-informed education and resource company supporting professionals, individuals, and workplaces on their trauma awareness and recovery journeys.

​

I have a busy private practice where I work with adult clients from all walks of life and who are experiencing a wide range of issues. I am also an Associate Psychotherapist at Harbor, a private mental health clinic in Central London. I work with clients both in-person and also online, allowing me to assist people anywhere with a stable internet connection. I practice in a holistic manner, integrating a wide range of skills to address the complete well-being of my clients, encompassing mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual elements.​

​

I have full public liability and indemnity insurance, an up-to-date Enhanced DBS certificate, and I practice under the ethical framework established by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).  This means that I am committed to working with you in a safe and professional way that empowers you to identify what choices you have available to you and what resources you already possess.

Due to the complex nature of the issues that clients bring to therapy, I am committed to continually improving my knowledge and skills through further educational training and CPD.
