My Background

I am a UKCP Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, having an advanced diploma in Integrative Counselling.  I also hold an honours degree in Psychology,  an advanced certificate in Humanistic Counselling, and certificates in Person Centred Counselling.   I have also completed over three years of studying The Hakomi Method, which is a form of mindfulness based body-centred psychotherapy, involving assisted self discovery, and have more recently completed training in Body Listening, which is again a body-centred approach which helps to connect people with more level of their being other than the conscious level.

I am  also a qualified Medical Herbalist and a Registered Member of the Association of Natural Medicines and a full Healer Member of the National Federation of Spiritual Healers (The Healing Trust).

I have several years' experience of various types of meditation, particularly Buddhist mindfulness based practices, and also several years' experience of tai chi and chi kung exercises, as well as other forms of martial arts which can enhance energy and develop focus, discipline, agility, and a warrior spirit.

​I work both with individuals and with groups, and am happy to run workshops in the community (in schools, day centres, residential homes, etc.).
