I am a former academic in Arts and Humanities with a Doctorate in phenomenology. My PhD was concerned with the visual and psychological implications of bodily change and boundaries. My interest in becoming a psychotherapist came out of the intellectual curiosity that my doctoral research instilled in me, especially in the field of body awareness. As my psychotherapy training has progressed, this has become a personal conviction to support and enable people in understanding themselves, envisioning change and growing into what they need to be.

I am an active person who loves cross-country running, hiking and lifting weights in my free time. I am also a classically trained dancer, and teach/practice Yoga (Hatha), Yin, Mindfulness and Meditation. I see these movement-based practices as an embodied form of knowledge.

My varied career and interests mean I am experienced in working with people of different abilities, ages and demographics. I am well-travelled, with a multi-cultural and multi-faith background that has given me a respectful curiosity for difference and diversity.
