CERTIFICATES AND MEMBERSHIPS

Like many therapists, I came to this work as other life experiences taught me more about myself, my values, and how I wanted to be of use in the world. 

I came from an academic teaching and research background in the social sciences and social psychology, moving into a behaviour change consultancy career that took me all over the world. Eventually, my curiosity for people and their capacity to change came together and I trained as a Person Centred psychotherapist in 2014. I combine clinical work with clients and research consultancy. 

Good therapists keep training and learning and build an integrated approach. My work combines somatic or body based psychotherapies with talking therapies.  I completed an intensive 3 year training in somatic psychotherapy in the USA. I recently completed studies in the therapeutic application of yoga based movement.

I am very excited about the developments and intersections between neurobiology and therapy, and I continue to study and train in applied neurobiology for anxiety and trauma. 

I have completed specialist training in working with neurodiverse clients. I am a certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS).
