About me
I came to this work from a varied background in the creative arts, with many years balancing life as a performer, with the intense lows and highs of working in professional kitchens as a chef around the world. I reached a point of complete burnout, a crisis of identity and a need to look within.
Counselling made a profound difference in my own life during a time major transition. It gave me a space to feel truly seen and supported, perhaps for the first time. Through this process, I began to understand and accept myself, which allowed me to make choices that aligned more closely with what I truly wanted.
My own experience informs the way I work; I see it as a deep privilege to walk alongside my clients as they explore what it means to them to feel truly themselves, and support them in stepping toward the life they want.

Approach
I’m trained in Psychosynthesis Counselling, a unique and integrative form of therapy that works with the whole of you; your thoughts, feelings, body, and even the deeper, often spiritual aspects of life. This doesn’t mean religious, but rather an acknowledgment of your innate potential for growth, meaning, and connection.
Psychosynthesis views challenges, crises, and even failures as opportunities for transformation; moments where we can uncover and embrace a more authentic version of ourselves. It asks us to explore not just what’s causing pain or struggle, but also what these moments might be trying to reveal. Perhaps a part of you that’s been neglected is calling out to be heard. Perhaps an old way of being no longer serves you and is ready to evolve.
I believe that you are the expert on your own life, even if you feel lost at times. My role is to support you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom and resources, helping you to navigate your challenges with compassion and curiosity.
My approach is flexible and creative, drawing on a variety of therapeutic techniques to suit your unique needs. While our work may centre on traditional talking therapy, I often incorporate other tools such as imagery, visualisation, writing, and body-based (somatic) techniques, when words alone don’t feel enough. Psychosynthesis also considers the many roles we play in life, and helps bring these into harmony so they work together rather than in conflict.
influenced by many factors, including our relationships, physical health, and environment. Together, we can explore your experiences with compassion and curiosity, creating space for new possibilities to emerge.
