my background

I studied English Literature at Edinburgh many years ago, which I now see as linked to a lifelong interest in the relationship between our internal worlds and our experience of and interaction with life. Soon afterwards, I completed an in-depth training in Scaravelli inspired yoga and anatomy with the Inner Yoga Trust, and went on to work for many years as a yoga teacher and somatic bodywork practitioner. 

​

I later trained in psychotherapy at The Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust and then Birkbeck, University of London.​ I am experienced in working with a wide range of issues in a way that is responsive, adaptable and trauma-informed. I understand how important it is to find the right ‘fit’ and if that isn’t me, I may be able to refer you to a colleague or service if you think that may be helpful.​

​

I am also a trained breastfeeding supporter through the UK Breastfeeding Network and have volunteered with the Birth Trauma Association.
