About me

I am a highly motivated health and wellbeing practitioner with over 30 years of experience in empowering individuals to reach their full potential. My background combines a strong foundation in gestalt psychology (MA) with a deep understanding of plant medicine (diploma) and a focus on nature-based therapies. I hold certifications in trauma therapy, journey work, forest therapy, and nature practices, allowing me to create a holistic and personalised approach to healing. My passion lies at the intersection of nature and human connection. I have a particular interest and extensive experience in psychedelic-assisted therapy, specialising in supporting individuals through set and setting, and integration. This ensures a safe and transformative experience for my clients. I have a passion for nature and people and love helping individuals to find their way back to their true authentic self.

My Approach to Healing: Nature, Mind, and Transformation My approach to well-being is deeply rooted in the power of nature. For over 30 years, I've witnessed the transformative potential of combining nature's wisdom with the insights of Gestalt psychology. My work incorporates elements of forest therapy and plant medicine to create a holistic environment for healing. I understand that journeys can be profound, especially those involving psychedelics. That's why I specialise in psychedelic integration therapy, both in-person and online. Through this process, I guide individuals in making sense of their experiences and integrating them into their daily lives, fostering lasting positive change. This collaborative approach allows me to tailor my methods to your unique needs and goals. Whether you seek to overcome trauma, enhance creativity, or simply reconnect with yourself and the natural world, I'm here to support you on your path to a more fulfilling life. Our practice is affiliated with esteemed institutions like Global Health Academy and Edinburgh University, reflecting our commitment to evidence-based and innovative approaches.
