About me and my therapy practice
I am an Accredited, Integrative, humanistic, psychodynamic and somatic process therapist with 20 years of experience in clinical practise. I have experience working in private practise, the NHS and the charity sector. I offer both long and short term talking therapy and also the option to combine talking therapy with CranioSacral Therapy for an integrated MindBody approach which increases your embodiment and awareness the nervous system giving you tools to regulate and release stored or incomplete threat responses..
Across a life time we encounter many transitions that shake our sense of ourselves. These build up until they cause a fracturing of the parts of ‘us’ that can lead to anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking patterns, relationship problems and the manifestation of physical illness, addictive behaviours and a general sense of dissociation, dis-ease and low functioning. You may feel you reached a point where you can’t ’take It anymore’ and recognise that something needs to change.
My grounding principle is in understanding each client from an holistic biopsychosocial perspective, to address all the elements of our experience of ourselves in relationship to others and the world around us including our intergenerational inheritances.
Over time embodied psychotherapy will leave you not only feeling whole again, but fully able to inhabit a revised sense of your self-concept, your body and the moment, for maximum enjoyment and potential in life.
I work with a broad base of clients to understand life up to that point, and the ways in which Neurodiversity has shaped the parenting we received, life experience and the way your sense of self and body developed around those conditions. This can be a radical change of perspective. It is deep compassionate work leading to acceptance and authenticity.
Practice description
I work in a quiet, comfortable practise a five minute walk from Clapham Junction station. The area is well served by both buses and trains and the shops and cafes of Northcote Road.
My first session
We will arrange to have an introductory phone call so that you can gauge whether you would like to try a session with me.
