My initial training began in 2000 in Counselling and I then went on to complete a diploma in Hypnotherapy in 2006.

3 years later I became very interested in trauma and eventually went on to train in TRE. (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) this traiing is continuing

I completed all 3 levels of Brainspotting training and then did a level 1 training in EFT (Emotional focused Therapy).

Last year I completed IFS (Internal Family Systems) Level One which allows me to practise.

In my developmental years I experienced significant developmental trauma and this initiated a deep curiosity in self healing, psychology and self initiated exploration of spiritual and existential perspectives.
I suffered from cripplingly low self esteem and persistent anxiety that drove my fascination for understanding and recovery in a wide variety of fields from spituality to meditation and then to psychology and ultimately body based and trauma informed approaches.

So many times people would tell me that trauma was a wound that would always be there, always the suggestion being that it was not worth trying to heal it and better to just accept it and get on with life. Fortunately I never believed this always convinced that not only is healing and recovery possible but that our inner world is a crucial and much neglected sphere of devleopment that is as rich and as expansive as the outer world.
For me this inner journey and constant discovery becomes richer and clearer every day and I am aware there is so much potential and so much to be discovered inside ourselves.

I also learn so much from my clients and am ever amazed by their bravery and resilience and trust in their own ability to heal and grow.
