About Me
I have been involved in various personal growth modalities for over 30 years and have been practising psychotherapy since 2016.
I have an Advanced Diploma in Emotional Therapeutic Counselling which is a humanistic, person-centred therapy. I have done additional training in working with Trauma, and trained in Body Listening, which is a person-centred form of body psychotherapy with Tim Brown, and in Dance of Awareness which is a therapeutic dance practice developed by Tim Brown and Clare Osbond.
I am accredited through the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and abide by their code of conduct and ethics.
Alexander Technique
I qualified as an Alexander Technique teacher in 2001 after a three-year, 1600-hour STAT-approved training course at NETCAT in Leeds.
My approach combines a century-old tradition of hands-on work with insights from contemporary science and other bodywork modalities. My aim is ultimately to make myself redundant so you can take away what you have learned and use it as a resource for the rest of your life.
I have also written a well-regarded book on the Alexander Technique, published in Autumn 2024.
Other Qualifications and Interests
Art and creativity have always been a central part of my life. I made and designed fine furniture for a living for ten years. I write poetry and own a small poetry press. I play the piano and have a degree in music, a master’s degree in Myth and Cosmology, and a PGCE qualification in adult education and training. I hope that the breadth of things I have explored, thought about, and worked with in my life brings a richness and depth of perspective to my work with clients.
