My approach is shaped as much by my own experience of being human as by my professional training.
I am creative, curious, reflective, and sometimes restless — drawn to walking, writing and wandering as ways of making sense of life. I have always been fascinated by the big questions: how we find meaning, how we live with loss, how we navigate the contradictions of being human.
As a psychotherapist, I am described as thoughtful, compassionate, and willing to stay with the difficult or the uncertain. I value honesty, depth, and the courage it takes to bring our whole selves into relationship.
My path into psychotherapy has been shaped by my own lived experience — navigating family, loss, identity, and the search for belonging. Alongside my personal journey, I’ve worked as a pattern cutter and maker in the fashion industry, as a teacher and researcher in further and higher education, and internationally leading projects with a health charity. These experiences, across very different worlds, have given me a deep respect for diversity, complexity, and the resilience of the human spirit.
I trained in existential, person-centred and integrative arts psychotherapy, and I continue to learn and develop through my own individual and peer supervision and self enquiry. Over time, my work has been enriched by movement and embodied practices, nature-based perspectives, and creative approaches such as poetry and the arts.
