About me

My practice
I am a psychotherapist and counsellor with a professional background in filmmaking supported by a lifelong personal yoga practice spanning more than two decades. My fascination with the human condition drew me to documentaries, and over several decades I sought to make sense of the complexity of human experience through creative storytelling. Combining my training as a therapist with my film background enables a deeper understanding of how narrative coherence is integral to healing.

My lived experience navigating menopause during my therapy training sparked a research and clinical interest in supporting women through this significant bio-psycho-social-cultural time of change. My understanding of how this pivotal life stage can affect all areas of life and relationships provides my clients with a reassuring and empathic foundation for our work together.

My person-centred therapeutic approach is led by my clients' needs and lived experiences. My relational way of working is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive, drawing on attachment theory and interpersonal neurobiology. My diverse background and approach offer a deep and holistic understanding of my clients' experiences, helping them to feel seen, heard and understood in their respective journeys.
