Introduction

I am a body-oriented psychotherapist and somatic coach, working at depth, weaving focusing in to my professional and personal life.

What services do I offer?

I offer psychotherapy, somatic coaching and therapeutic-coaching, all interwoven with focusing to support the "living forward" energy of which Gendlin speaks. I have many years experience working with clients internationally on zoom, and occasionally meet clients face to face in London. (Please note my private practice is usually full, and you are welcome to check if that's the case).

My best work is with those clients who have a deep interest in personal development, supported by a commitment to the all-important homework between sessions to facilitate rich self-awareness. In addition, I offer secondary mentorship to those in the process of focusing certification.

If you are interested in learning more about how I work, particularly in the domain of trauma and addiction, you may be interested in my first book: "Love and Imperfection: A Therapist's Story." (Available through my website and on Amazon).

My background in Focusing

I began training with Jerry Conway in 2010, and subsequently shifted to Wholebody Focusing with Kay Hoffman, reflecting my interest in the holistic, whole-body approach already foundational to my somatic work. With Kay and Ann Weiser-Cornell for mentors, I completed my Focusing Practitioner training in 2018 and have subsequently become certified as a Focusing-Oriented Therapist. I continue to pursue learning and development opportunities. Having studied Gendlin's "Experiencing and the Creation of Meaning" with a colleague, we have now transferred our attention to "A Process Model."
