About me
I come from an arts background and grew up in a family system marked by intergenerational secrets, absence, addiction, and loss. As a child, I often found myself wondering, “What do adults actually mean?” and “Where are they?”—questions that would eventually shape my path into counselling and psychotherapy.
In the early 2000s, I entered personal therapy, which led me to train as an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I began seeing clients in 2014 at the feminist organisation SARSAS, supporting survivors of sexual violence. Since then, I have worked with individuals facing addiction and substance use, as well as with a diverse client base through a social justice-oriented organisation in Bristol, where I developed a deep appreciation for group process and supervision.
My therapeutic approach is strongly informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), a model that has had a profound and optimistic impact on both my personal and professional life. I am currently working toward certification with the IFS Institute and am also Level 2 trained in IFIO (Intimacy From the Inside Out), which supports couples and dyads in relational healing.
Recently I have undertaken training in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), a powerful trauma psychotherapy approach that works with the body and brain to heal implicit trauma memory.
I am particularly interested in how individualism and capitalism disrupt connection and identity, and how cultural and legacy burdens can energetically impact our internal system, the psyche and our body. My work is grounded in the belief that we all carry an innate capacity for healing and presence when given the space to reconnect with ourselves.
