I am a practitioner of holistic medicine, a psychological therapist, counsellor, life coach, homeobotanical therapist, wellbeing advisor and mindfulness teacher. I help people gain better self understanding so they can live a happier life. If you would like professional support undertstanding yourself better, making life changes, achieving a goal, solving a problem or actualising your potential, contact me to ask questions and find out more about yourself.
I hold a MSc Psychology, MA Psychoanalysis, Diploma in Psychoanalytic Psychology, Diploma in Counselling, Certificate in Life Coaching, PG Certificate in Homeobotanical Therapy, and a Certificate in Teaching Mindfulness Based Approaches MBCT & MBSR. I am a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS); British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP); Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists (ACCPH); the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA); and the Register of Homeobotanical Therapists UK & Europe listing here.
I started my career working as a naturopath which was initially a hobby, before moving into a mental health career. I worked as a mental health researcher within the NHS and with psychoanalysis research institutes, and as a counsellor for the Blenheim Project and Breaking Free. In addition to my natural health clinic, I work as a counsellor, life coach and mindfulness based stress reduction teacher in Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and as a counsellor at Mosaic Counselling Service.
I am a member of the Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists (ACCPH), an independent professional body and register for counsellors, coaches, psychotherapists and hypnotherapists. The general public can verify with confidence that the therapist they are considering using has the qualifications they claim to have and up-to-date full Professional Liability Insurance. ACCPH profile here.
I trained as a Life Coach to bring my Homeobotanical Therapy/Flower Essence Therapy and Psychological/Counselling practices together. Life Coaching is the ideal way to integrate these therapies. I am interested in supporting clients who are seeking long-term change. You may want to start or complete a project, or find a new career or new relationship, or a new direction in your personal life or work life. With the help of a Life Coach you will feel supported and motivated to strive to achieve your goals and you will receive the practical tools you need to make changes.
Before training as a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher, I practiced meditation since 1999 and participated regularly in long silent retreats every year. I completed my mindfulness teacher training at Sussex Mindfulness Centre, part of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. In 2023 I started teaching mindfulness based stress reduction ot NHS professionals within the NHS.
As a mindfulness coach I support you to become more aware of your automatic thoughts and emotions, and your in-vironment and way of being in the world. You already possess the inner resoures to live a fulfilling life. By restoring your connection with your inner life, you can better manage your thoughts and emotions and acheive a sense of presence, ease, stability and peace in the present moment. Whether you're seeking support to start, develop, consolidate or deepen your mindfulness practice, I am here to support and guide you.
Homeobotantical Therapy is a natural way to connect, integrate and support mental, emotional and physical healing processes. It is a CORE Therapy, which means it blends well with all other healing protocols, both naturopathic and allopathic, in the acute and chronic management of illness. I am a member of the Homeobotanicals & HomeoHerbals UK & Europe Register of certified Homeobotanical Therapists and you can view my listing here.
The ideal bridge between counselling, life coaching and natural wellbeing is being a Flower Essence Therapist, because flower essences work on the emotional level by subtly restoring balance to negative emotions. I trained at The Bach Flower School that is a member of International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine, an accreditation board for Holistic therapists that provides the public with a body of regulated professionals checked by the IPHM.
I work as a Wellbeing Advisor for Weleda, an award winning multi-national company producing organic and biodynamic natural medicines, remedies and cosmetics, born of, embedded in and influenced by Anthroposophy. The goal of anthroposophy is the development of the whole human being. You can learn about Weleda and natural wellbeing on my Blog and my Weleda Shop. This natural health service is based on Holistic Integrative and Humanistic health care. Learn more about Weleda on my Wellbeing webpage.
