About Me

I am a trauma-informed practitioner, guided by compassion and shaped by the depth of my own lived experience and personal journey. My approach is anchored in years of rigorous training in depth psychotherapeutic practices, and I remain committed to my own ongoing path of healing, growth, and wholeness—walking this journey in parallel with those I work alongside.

My life has been unconventional and varied, offering me a rich tapestry of experience. From music and events production to social-change activism and humanitarian aid, I’ve traveled paths that have connected me with people from all walks of life. These diverse experiences have given me the insight to work with individuals across a wide range of backgrounds, lifestyles, and cultures.

In addition to my private practice, I’ve worked in clinical psychedelic research as a psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist on groundbreaking trials. I am a passionate advocate for the safe, ethical, and culturally informed use of psychedelic medicines in regulated contexts. I serve on the advisory board of The Institute of Psychedelic Therapy and as Chair of the Spiritual Emergency special interest group, contributing to the evolving understanding of transformative experiences.

My ongoing journey of personal and spiritual inquiry continues to sustain and inspire my work. Practices that resource me include meditation, Earth-based wisdom traditions, embodied movement and dance, and walking through the wild, remote corners of the world. These practices ground me and remind me of the interconnectedness that lies at the heart of my work.

This path—woven from my own experiences and the threads of connection with others—continues to shape who I am as a practitioner and how I show up to support those I work with.

How I Work

I offer psychotherapy from a serene and dedicated garden room in Bruton, Somerset, as well as online. For clients drawn to Ecotherapy, I also work in the tranquility of local woodlands, creating opportunities to connect deeply with nature.

The First Step

Every journey begins with a conversation. I invite all prospective clients to an initial hour-long session where we can explore working together and see if we’re the right fit.

A Tailored Approach

Each client is unique, and I draw upon a rich array of tools and practices to meet you wherever you are in your process. My practice is grounded in a compassionate and accepting relational approach, focusing on depth, authenticity, and presence.

While our work often begins with talking therapy, sessions may also incorporate somatic, creative, imaginal, and expressive methods. Together, we discover the process that meets you where you are.

Some of the tools and approaches I may integrate include:

Somatic Inquiry – tuning into the body’s wisdom
Mindfulness Practices – cultivating presence and awareness
Constellations & Systemic Ritual – exploring family and systemic patterns
Art Therapy – using creativity as a pathway to insight
Movement – accessing emotions and truths through the body
Ecotherapy Practices – grounding and healing through connection with nature

The Heart of the Work

I believe in the innate wisdom of your inner healer. My role is to follow and support your unfolding process, trusting in its timing and direction.

Beyond all the tools, training, and techniques, this work is ultimately about human connection. At its core, therapy is a space where two people meet authentically. My commitment is to meet you where you are, as you are, with openness and care.
