I work holistically, placing value on spiritual, psychological, social and physical aspects of living. My approach is rooted in an Integrative Transpersonal framework and I draw on concepts from Jungian, Gestalt, relational, psychodynamic, neuroscience, body psychotherapy and family systems theory. I also use the creative arts in my work with clients who find it helpful. It can be a meaningful way to express feelings / experiences, for which language can struggle to describe.
The transpersonal element to my work gives space to connect to what can feel bigger than us, whilst trusting that we can find universality amongst things that can feel innately personal.
My previous career was as a musician, and I believe my musicality brings depth to who I am as a therapist. There’s a unique collective response to music of all kinds, that helps us feel. It’s as pure and simple as that.
Alongside my private practice, my clinical experience includes working with:
The NHS, where I short-term relational therapy, counselling for depression PCE-CfD (NICE Approved), and group workshops
Mind in Tower Hamlets & Enfield - 1-1 counselling
Private eating disorder clinic, Orri - group facilitation & one-to-one support
