I trained as a body psychotherapist at the Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre (CBPC) and am a full clinical member of UKCP. I run my body psychotherapy practice from my home in Islington, North London. I am also a trainer and training committee member at CBPC, and a tutor on the Body and Intersectionality in Psychotherapy module at the Minster Centre in North-West London.

Before I was a psychotherapist I worked and trained extensively in massage therapy, which has given me a deep appreciation of how touch, movement, and working with the body can facilitate emotional change. I have always felt that health comes from a greater integration between mind and body, and I love that through body psychotherapy I can work with people in a way that fully supports this integration.

I initially trained in biodynamic massage at the London School of Biodynamic Psychotherapy (LSBP). I stayed involved with biodynamic work on the organisational level, and for seven years was the Professional Development Officer for the Association of Biodynamic Massage Therapists (ABMT). More recently, I completed an year-long somatic trauma therapy training with Babette Rothschild and integrate these techniques into my client work.

I have an M.A. in Human Sciences from Oxford University, and an M.Sc. in Complementary Medicine from University of Westminster. What I take from these into my psychotherapy practice is a real appreciation for just how holistic we are as people. I welcome the exploration and interconnection of the physical, emotional, mental, energetic, intersectional, ecological, and spiritual aspects of our selves, and believe that by reclaiming the parts of us that are more disparate, we can begin to find answers to our problems.
