“We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.”
T.S. Eliot
Welcome, I am a therapist working with clients both online and in person in Chiswick and in Hammersmith. I trained with Re-Vision, and principally follow an integrative transpersonal approach. This means simply that I draw on different therapeutic perspectives and create space for soul as feels appropriate with each person – to include many and varied ways of exploring, understanding and finding meaning in experience.
I work with a broad range of concerns, such as grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, anger, gender, identity and relationship to self, self-esteem, body issues, trauma, addiction and self harm. People may also come to therapy in times of transition, such as quarterlife, midlife, menopause and later life, or with more general feelings of overwhelm, disquiet, loneliness and longing.
I have a particular interest in trauma, shame and addiction – and in the lasting impact of parental addiction on trust and relationships into adulthood. Therapy can be helpful in many ways here.
How I identify I am a cis gender woman and I’m aware that this brings perspectives and experiences which may be different from your own. These differences deserve to be honoured, treated with care and can bring richness to the work together.
