My work brings together counselling, recovery coaching, movement and contemplative practice. Over more than 25 years, I have worked across NHS clinical services, independent practice, private households and international residential assignments.
I trained in psychodynamic and person-centred counselling and spent over a decade in the NHS, working in counselling, sexual health, public health and harm reduction. My work now includes supporting people through addiction, crisis, difficult family relationships and significant life changes, often alongside clinicians and other professionals.
Movement has long been central to my work. My background in physical training, yoga and meditation also brings creativity, practical activity, enjoyment and humour into the way I work.
My background in zoology and ecology informs my interest in nature-based approaches, including ecotherapy and outdoor practice. I divide my time between London and the Italian Apennines, where I have restored an old watermill, Mulino Carletti. It's a rustic, off-grid retreat where I host individuals and small groups for nature-based therapeutic work, yoga, meditation, writing and cooking.
