About me and my therapy practice
It is no small task trying to live and survive in today’s world, let alone being able to make sense of it. There are no maps for these times, our systems are beginning to unravel and we stand facing an unknowable future. How can we navigate a path through our lives that helps us to meet this world, and the challenges it presents.
What I know is that none of us hold the answers and this is a good thing! This means that all we have, is to choose to be in this together with heart, courage, curiosity and a willingness to make inner adaptation. Doing our own deeply personal and internal work is the very ground from which change can evolve, shaping a new world from the very bones of our being.
I offer a variety of ways to explore both your internal world and how it meets your external world. This will allow you to develop understanding about who you are now, how you have been shaped this way and who you are becoming.
I am a psychotherapist with a love of nature, living on a smallholding just north of Bath in Wiltshire, and I offer a diverse range of working to suit your needs. Indoors, outdoors, online or a mixture. I work creatively and in an embodied way, exploring through poetry, creativity and voice. I love to work with the wisdom of our more than human kin, to listen to the land and work with imagination.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Practice description
My work is in service of perhaps one of the oldest questions – how to be most fully human. I have worked within the creative and psychological industries for over 30 years; formally as an actor and musician and for the past 25 years as a coach and consultant, supporting systems and their leaders through messy and complex change. I’m a writer and poet with 2 published books by Wiley and Karnac. I am a psychotherapist and nature-based guide rooted in the belief that deep healing happens in relationship—with ourselves, with others, and with the living world around us. My practice is grounded in the rhythms of the Earth, drawing on the restorative power of nature to help people reconnect to their inner truth, navigate transitions, and tend to the soul wounds that conventional therapy often overlooks.
Our sessions often take place outdoors—in forests, near rivers, or on open land—where the elements themselves become co-facilitators in the healing process. I am fascinated by working in creative and embodied ways and draw heavily on my music, theatre and performance background. I will often lean on poetry and writing as a way of exploration.
Many of my clients are navigating burnout, trauma, grief, life transitions or are longing for deeper meaning. In our work together, we listen for the soul’s voice—often constricted and silenced by modern life—and respond to its call with curiosity, care and presence.
I offer hybrid format therapy where sometimes we meet outdoors and sometimes online. This works well for those who live further afield and can only make occasional outdoor sessions. We are all needing to adjust to modern life and the complexities that it brings us. I work outside therapeutically in all seasons, except for the bleakest days where we’d be wading around in a muddy bog! At this point, we move inside or online. Despite my hybrid offering, there is really no substitute for being in the embodied presence of another as you undertake this work on yourself.
