About me

PSYCHOTHERAPIST (PG Dipls. Psych. & Adv Psych., UKCP reg), FACILITATOR, CREATIVE COACH and FORMER LITERARY EDITOR

Over a decade of clinical practice as a transpersonal and integrative psychotherapist, I’ve supported people navigating self-doubt, silencing, people-pleasing, emotional manipulation, and loss of self. These patterns often sit beneath a huge range of symptoms including depression, anxiety, stress, chronic illness, addiction, eating disorders, numbness to feelings, and recurring difficulties in relationships.

Alongside seven years of advanced psychotherapeutic training at CCPE in London, my work is shaped by my own long-standing spiritual and contemplative practices. While each person’s path is unique, it matters deeply to me that theory is tested and grounded in lived experience, rather than held as concept alone. I’ve come to trust and understand healing as a cyclical process of disintegration, remembering and return – not becoming someone new, but reconnecting with what has been silenced or overridden. This often involves uncompromising honesty and the willingness to gradually surrender identities and ways of being that once protected, but now limit us.

Earlier in my professional life, I worked in the publishing industry as a literary editor for fifteen years, latterly as Editor-at-Large at Hachette UK. This background continues to inform my search for the deeper meaning and heart of the story that’s trying to be told. While my work is no longer focused on technique or craft, I often work with writers who want to remove the blocks to self-expression and trust in their own voice. For a decade I was a faculty member for Columbia University’s postgraduate publishing course, and have also been a guest lecturer for the University of Limerick’s MA in Creative Writing and a facilitator at their Winter Writing School.

I work primarily in private practice, offering long-term psychotherapy, one-off therapeutic consultations and creative coaching. Alongside my psychotherapy practice, I design and facilitate workshops exploring the meeting points between psychological depth, creativity and embodiment. I’m committed to ongoing professional development, clinical supervision, and embodied practice, including Yoga and meditation. I’ve been a staff member at CCPE since 2021, facilitating psychotherapy students in training.
