I am a Senior Accredited psychotherapist with 25 years of clinical experience, specialising in stress, psychophysiology, and the psychology of physical health. My work is nervous system based — I treat the body as an intelligent entity that needs to be heard, and I bring a broad range of clinical training, research knowledge, and practical tools to that work.

I am a doctoral researcher at the University of Bath Department for Health studying breathing interventions for stress and anxiety. Alongside this, I own and run The Studio — a purpose-built movement and therapy space in central Reading and am co-director of Mind Garden Therapy Ltd.

I offer:

• Medium and long-term psychotherapy
• Clinical work with breath pattern disorders in adults and young people
• Consultation for people who have had negative experiences in counselling or psychotherapy
• Ad hoc consultation for families navigating mental illness, the healthcare system, or concerns around neurodiversity with a particular interest in the experience of neurotypical adults in neurodiverse families/relationships

Clients who come to me are often dealing with:

• Chronic stress, burnout, or an inability to switch off
• Disrupted sleep or insomnia
• Breathing difficulties that haven’t resolved with physiotherapy
• Stress or anxiety showing up physically — tension, fatigue, health concerns
• Trauma or relational trauma
• A previous therapy experience that felt harmful or left them uncertain about what happened
• Family strain around a relative’s or partner’s mental illness

My specialist areas are:

Chronic stress, sleep and burnout · Breath pattern disorders · Trauma and relational trauma · Negative therapy experiences consultation – Mind / body health
