About me and my therapy practice

I have a private practice in Staveley, near Kendal, in the beautiful South Lakes, and in Lancaster at the Tara Centre.

Sessions can take place indoors or outdoors, or a mixture of both. 

I integrate transactional analysis, neuroscience, attachment, and somatic trauma theories with nature therapy, EMDR, imagery, creativity, movement, yoga, and mindfulness. This matrix of complementary theories and approaches gives me a toolbox with which to offer an individualised approach that is most appropriate in that moment with that client.

I am trained, qualified, and experienced in supporting people to make meaningful changes to improve their quality of life.

I am the author of the Wild and Wellbeing Card Deck, and co-author, with Babette Rothschild, of the 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery Workbook; both published by WW Norton.

I am a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance, 鈥渆xploring psychological responses to the climate crisis to strengthen relationships and resilience for a just future鈥.

Practice description

I integrate a range of theories and techniques, including Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, somatic and body psychotherapy, Somatic Trauma Therapy, eco-psychotherapy, sand tray, play, and creativity. I'm also a qualified yoga teacher, mountain leader, and forest school leader.

I've completed a variety of training courses in order to offer diverse interventions for the diverse parts of you, including somatic trauma therapy, mindfulness, sensorimotor art therapy for trauma, movement for trauma coaching, EMDR, eco-psychotherapy, image work, and a variety of nature-based and nature connection trainings.

I tend to interweave these kinds of creative, embodied, nature-connected, and mindful practices throughout my psychotherapeutic offering depending on each individual鈥檚 needs and preferences.

I have experience working with people who are experiencing a wide range of difficulties including PTSD, anxiety, selective mutism, separation anxiety, developmental trauma, identity exploration, autism, and ADHD.

I have worked with people who want to feel more in control of overwhelming emotions, more able to make decisions and hold boundaries, to feel more grounded and centred, to feel stable and safe, to feel certain about being valuable, capable, lovable, powerful, and equal.
