Experience and interests

I have been in training since 2002 and seeing clients since 2003. I am working towards an MA in humanistic and integrative psychotherapy - this means that I draw on several different ways of working. It also means that I don't have all the answers - we work together.

Before I began training, I volunteered for a women's crisis line and have an interest in working with self-harm and abuse issues.

I am also interested in creative expression. I have been writing for many years, at the moment I am attempting to write my first novel. This is giving me insight into the creative process, what stops me writing and what helps me start again.

I have a degree in theology and a qualification in holistic massage. I think that our spiritual journeys and soulmaking have a place in psychotherapy. I am influenced by contemplative and earth-based traditions.
