I am a senior student of Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy with a private practice in Poole, Dorset.  Drawing from my experience as a teacher of yoga and holistic bodyworker I orient my work to the wisdom of the body & to relationship.  

For me, feeling the rhythms of the body and the currents of the psyche are not separate.  After 25 years of teaching trauma informed yoga, I studied Living Anatomy in 2019 with the intention of training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, qualifying from CSET. It was here in the safe hands of my tutor Jo Coole and with guidance from my mentor Anneli Hulkkonen that I moved from Cranio into Core Process Psychotherapy, feeling the pull towards in-depth study of the psyche.

With my clients I work towards the integration of  present moment awareness, sensation in the body and the co-arising landscape of story, illusion and internal beliefs that keep us frozen in unhelpful ways.

I am working towards a 4 year post graduate diploma in Core Process Psychotherapy at the Karuna Institute and am currently in the clinical year of study. The psychotherapy I offer is relational, grounded in embodied awareness and deep listening. My work is driven by trust in our inherent capacity for personal transformation.
