Years of client work, academic involvement, and continuous learning have informed my approach.

I studied Person-Centred Counselling at the University Centre Colchester, Dance of Movement Group Work, Dance of Awareness at Brighton School for Embodied Therapy, and Group Facilitation Program at Gestalt Centre London.  I was trained in trauma-informed approaches with Christiane Sanderson, Centre on Action for Rape and Abuse, and Gabor Mate- Compassionate Inquiry. I hold my counselling practice and work at the University Centre Colchester as a Group facilitator and Counselling Tutor. 

I welcome every aspect of my clients' experiences and understand the complexity and diversity of our existence.  

In therapy, I create a confidential, warm, and empathetic environment while facilitating your autonomy, which is most important.

 

I will share my experience and knowledge with you, fully engaging in supporting your therapeutic process. Whatever you need the counselling space for, I will guide you emphatically, sometimes challenging you or being more direct, if appropriate. I have an appreciation for therapeutic humour, which, at times, can help you stay grounded and in the present.  

​

I incorporate mindfulness, aspects of body psychology, body energetics, and analytical psychotherapy. Depending on the client's preference, I work in structured and non-structured ways. I also offer psychoeducation.
