About the Therapist
As well as working in private practice, I'm a Buddhist Minister and co-leader of Bright Earth Buddhist Temple. I've been married since 2011 and have two small dogs and one cat. I love walking on the hills here in Malvern. I've been fascinated and engaged by queer culture for my whole life and I love how IFS allows us to explore our identities, welcoming all of our different parts and supporting us to thrive as ourselves. IFS has supported me to heal from my own trauma, and to release unhelpful beliefs passed down from my ancestors and taken on from the dominant culture.

I have completed level two in Internal Family Systems (IFS): Working with addictive process in April 2022, and level one IFS in March 2020.
I love using IFS with clients, and I’ve become a real champion for the model. The healing process it supports can sometimes feel magical.
IFS supports working safely with clients and going at their pace. It allows me to explore different parts of the clients experience and to heal trauma.
In 2020 I qualified in Wild Therapy. Wild Therapy includes working therapeutically outside in the natural world, and also considering what our nature as human-animals means to the therapeutic process. Read more here: Wild Mind
I have an Advanced Diploma in Embodied Relational Therapy. This training supported me to see the mind and body as a whole system, and to work with physical sensations as well as thoughts and emotions.
I have a Diploma in Counselling from Tariki Trust. On this training I learnt how to be with another person, about how habits and compulsive behaviours are created, and how to create space for change.

I've been working in private practice since 2011, and using Internal Family Systems since 2019. Since learning about IFS I've become a champion for this approach to therapy. I love how it respects all the different parts of my clients, how it holds contradictions and inner-turmoil, how it supports us go at the right pace, and how it creates healing from trauma. It has transformed my pratice for the better, I love working as a therapist with this approach, and I love being a client using this method as well.
My own inner work has been supported both my life as a therapist, and by my Buddhist practice. I was ordained in 2007 and have learnt so much from that path.
