My work brings together counselling, behavioural health, recovery coaching, movement, meditation, Buddhist practice and the natural world.

My relationship with the natural world began early. As a child savouring any opportunity I could find to wander off, I would be content and fascinated with woods, streams and the seashore. That lifelong connection continues to shape the way I understand regulation, attention, interconnection and change.

I began my NHS career in 1998 and spent many years working as a Health Adviser and counsellor in sexual health and HIV services, including at University College Hospital, Guy’s and St Thomas’, Chelsea and Westminster, and Eastern and Coastal Kent NHS Trusts. During this time, I studied psychodynamic counselling at WPF, the Westminster Pastoral Foundation. This work shaped my understanding of how people protect themselves, relate to others, manage risk and find ways to change.

After 15 years in the NHS, a back injury made it difficult to continue with seated counselling work in the same way. During a period of pain and uncertainty, I began practising yoga regularly. It supported my injury, but also offered something deeper: enjoyment, mental engagement and a quietening of internal chatter. I went on to study personal training and yoga, exploring how movement, breath and physical practice could support therapeutic and behavioural change.

Yoga and meditation have been part of my life for over 25 years. I have been teaching since 2012, and am a long-term student of Cyndi Lee and the OM Yoga approach, where alignment-based vinyasa, mindfulness, compassion and Buddhist philosophy are fully integrated.

This work also extends to Mulino Carletti, a restored watermill in the Apennine mountains, where I host small retreats shaped by yoga, meditation, walking, reflection and the surrounding landscape.

Today, I work privately with a small number of clients, offering discreet, integrated coaching for people navigating complexity, pressure, recovery and change.
