I am a UKCP trainee psychotherapist currently studying at the Karuna Institute. Prior to beginning my training, I undertook a doctoral dissertation in philosophy and have spent many years in creative practice as a musician. The pursuit of creative expression and personal freedom has been a constant theme throughout my life.

I believe that the core of therapeutic work lies in bringing awareness and sensitivity to what is unfolding within the client’s experience. While therapists do crucial work to hold and support a client, it is the client who will connect with their own orientation towards health and in so doing take leaps of faith, cross thresholds into parts unknown, and find the courage to pursue freedom and peace within themselves.

Meditation practice is a cornerstone of Core Process Psychotherapy, and has been a continuous friend along my therapeutic journey. Meditation-based skills and inquiry provide a crucial perspective and resource within my therapeutic work.
