Therapy Background

I have been practicing as a therapist for over 15 years. My initial training was in person-centred therapy, which still forms the heart of my approach: you, and only you, know what is right for you. My role is to support your autonomy and, through our exploration together, help you find your own shape to confidently inhabit.

Alongside this, I have trained in two therapies that draw on Buddhist ideas of overcoming suffering: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). CFT helps cultivate a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself, which in turn strengthens your relationships with others. ACT encourages us to clarify our values and make conscious choices that align with them, helping us live more intentionally.

I have combined these approaches with my Buddhist study and practice to create an integrated form of therapy. This approach offers open space for exploration, Buddhist-informed ways of understanding experience, and a range of practical exercises tailored to your needs.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Some people flourish with an open space for exploration, while others benefit from structure and clear goals. That’s why I offer both unstructured, ‘open-space’ therapy and structured, goal-focused therapy. I describe both on my Therapy Options page, and we can discuss which approach might suit you best.

I am also a qualified and experienced clinical supervisor, supporting and overseeing the work of other therapists. I work internationally with therapy clients, and within the UK as a supervisor. I’m also fairly well known in the therapy world as a specialist in Gender Identity Therapy for which I run a separate private practice.

Buddhism Background

My spiritual perspective is secular Buddhist and my primary influence is the US based teacher Gil Frondsal, within the Insight Meditation Tradition (Vipassana). I have followed these teachings for the last 20 years and I am currently undertaking training in Buddhist Spiritual Care Giving, under the tutorship of Gil Frondsal and Vanessa Able at the Sati Centre in California.
