You may have tried other therapy without feeling that you’ve really been seen and understood on a deeper level
As somebody who has experienced a wide range of both life’s gifts and its challenges you understand the value of moving past the hurdles which block the way to your true path.
You’re open to the meaningful growth which comes from moving into and through the uncomfortable aspects which life can fold around us sometimes.
The hardest part is finding the right support when you need some help to move forward evolving into the next stage of your life’s journey.
That’s why you’re here. That’s why I’m here too. I have helped a lot of people from all walks of life with every challenge imaginable. I am here to help connect you deeper to the experience of your Self.
During a lifetime committed to empowering people on their individual journeys I’ve developed a radiant palette of healing strategies and helped many hundreds of people.
As a Doctor of Clinical Psychology with a successful career specialising in trauma therapy my work has equipped me with all the tools to help people find new light and meaning even when life seems at its darkest for them.
Integrating the wide range of well-being approaches I’ve studied during my career, I provide personally tailored support for every individual journey that I become part of.
“No two human beings are exactly the same. We might have similar paths, but everybody is different and needs to be honored in their uniqueness. Therefore therapeutic approaches that just do a one size fits all just don’t work”
A lifetime of learning has kept me connected to my own growth and development and my calling to help people heal
I knew very early in my life what my calling was and I’ve been fully committed to growing as a therapist, mentor and well-being facilitator ever since.
I finished my degree in Clinical Psychology at University College London in 1992 and I have never stopped being excited to learn new therapeutic approaches, as well as, well-being and healing methodologies. This has given me a wide range of tools and experience to draw on and so I work in a holistic way with a strong integration of body-focused and energy psychology approaches.

My Podcast Interview With Fit For Joy
I truly enjoyed being interviewed by Valeria for the Fit For Joy Podcast, where we explored the importance of honouring each person’s unique journey. Over my 30+ years as a clinical psychologist and trauma psychotherapist, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply entrenched survival-based coping strategies – including dissociative processes – require personalised, compassionate approaches to transform. My hope is that listeners walk away feeling empowered to reconnect with their authentic selves and the life energy that guides them home.
“No two human beings are exactly the same. We might have similar paths, but everybody is different and needs to be honored in their uniqueness. Therefore, therapeutic approaches that just do a one-size-fits-all simply don’t work.”
The Hidden Barriers: How Trauma-Based Survival Strategies Block Your Authentic Self
On the surface, we may appear confident, successful, even thriving in specialised areas of our lives, but beneath this exterior lies an inner tension. This tension often stems from emotional blockages formed as a response to previous life trauma, creating barriers to emotional flow and self-expression.
