About Me
Lifespan Integration Certified practitioner and UK Trainer / Counselling / Psychotherapy and Supervision / Humanistic / Integrative / Traumatology Pgdip
"We are all just walking each other home" - Ram Dass
My path into psychotherapy began early, shaped by a deep curiosity about the human condition. In my twenties this seeking took me outward through travel, and then inward, when I realised I wanted to train both as a Buddhist practitioner and a psychotherapist. That convergence continues to inform my work today.
I’m especially drawn to the intelligence of living systems — how mind, body, and relationship naturally organise around survival, attachment, and meaning. Trauma can interrupt this self-organising flow, often pulling us away from our authentic selves in order to belong or stay safe.
I now work primarily with Lifespan Integration therapy, which I experience as a deeply respectful and effective way of restoring coherence. Using gentle, repeated timelines — a guided revisiting of key moments across a person’s life while staying anchored in the present — clients are supported to integrate parts of themselves that were never fully welcomed, allowing their innate healing capacity to re-emerge.
I am a UK-based Lifespan Integration Trainer and Practitioner, offering therapy, training, and supervision grounded in a complex systems understanding of trauma and healing.
My Inspirations
“Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one's being, but by integration of the contraries” - C.G. Jung
It is exciting times in the therapy world as so much is being discovered about the body mind system and the neuroscience behind effective therapy. For this reason I largely call on Lifespan Integration Therapy (LI) with ego states lost in time. LI uses timelines to literally (neurologically) show the body-mind system that the past trauma/pain is over and that whatever strategies were needed to survive then, can now, safely be upgraded.
My experience tells me that change only occurs when whole body mind insights happen. When it is really seen that the cost of staying the same outweighs the cost of change, only then can the old reactive ways of survival melt away.
I am very inspired by Joanna Macy and her wisdom that brings systems theory and Buddhist philosophy together. I am inspired by the truth of our interconnectedness and seeing through the illusion of a separate self...and I love Andrea Gibsons poetry and I love that both of these humans recently died so consciously!
