After working internationally for many years I have come home in Oxford in the UK. My travels have sensitised me to the ways in which each family culture is deeply informed by place, time and social circumstances, all of this so often out of our control. Many threads weave together to form the unique sense of self that each person carries within them. At the same time, I have also become increasingly aware of how much connects us all, the universality of what it is to be human, of this earth, embedded in an intricate web of relational experiences. This awareness deeply informs my therapeutic approach.
