Integrative Psychotherapist in Leek, UK
I believe that true healing happens when we connect our inner world of thoughts and emotions with our physical and energetic body. As an Integrative Psychotherapist with over 20 years of holistic therapy experience, I help clients find their authentic voice and feel truly at home in their own skin.
My own personal healing journey set me on the road to becoming a professional therapist. I worked through stress and developmental issues to feel good in my own skin and to find my own authentic voice. This lived experience gives me deep empathy and understanding for the challenges my clients face.
Prior to my training as a Psychotherapist, I was a Shiatsu Practitioner for over two decades.
I have an extensive background in Eastern healing modalities; Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu, Ayurveda and Yogic Philosophy. This continues to inform my holistic therapeutic approach.
Extensive travel and many years of living in the Netherlands mean that I have an understanding of cultural and social differences. This broader viewpoint often reveals new insights and opens up different pathways for personal growth.
I work with adults from 18 years old, helping with issues including anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, personal development, and life transitions.
Using relational therapy approaches, I help couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen their ongoing connection.
I teach this powerful technique, which helps us to recognise the impact of our thoughts and emotions on our Physical and energetic body. This connects us with our body's wisdom and inner knowing.
I have been a dedicated yogi and meditator for 25 years. This practice permeates every aspect of my life and helps me maintain balance and wellbeing. I believe that a holistic approach to life is the key to optimal health and wellbeing, and I bring this understanding into every therapy session.
