I am an Advanced Practitioner of The Emmett Technique (muscle release therapy), and a Tutor of the One Day Workshop (for the general public). I am a qualified Therapeutic Arts Counsellor (MACGI Level 7), and a Practitioner of The Havening Techniques®.

​

I have worked for several years as a therapist in one-to-one and group settings, both in my own practice and in the Third Sector (working for Street Talk, a charity which supports women who are homeless, victims of domestic violence (DV), struggling with addiction, and/ or trapped in street-based prostitution since 2016).

​

My therapy work bridges mental health and wellbeing, social prescription, community development and interaction, building confidence and self esteem, coaching and mentoring.

​

I have a deep interest in exploring spirituality and the creative process from a multi-faith and cross-cultural perspective, building on my experiences of living in Europe, Asia, and Africa. I work in private practice, with Tobias School of Art and Therapy, Street Talk, the Princes Trust, as well as developing and implementing programmes with my partners- Spirit of Peace/AATI (Arts at the Intersection) and Art Journeys.
