The therapeutic services I offer is a creative partnership with you and I thrive on being part of someone else’s transition from crisis to transformation.
Helping people has been a significant part of much of my career in education, supporting and appraising staff in primary and further education in the UK, India, Sri Lanka, Brazil and New Zealand. I have supported teaching staff in the prison, hospitality, early childhood education and youth work sectors and teachers in primary school through professional development courses and workshops based on their own goals and aspirations.
Since then I have trained in hypnotherapy, counselling and psychotherapy, worked in rape and sexual abuse and been in private practice since 2013. I am a tutor for Chrysalis Courses for their hypnotherapy, counselling and psychotherapy diplomas. I provide workshops at the Romsey Wisdom Centre in Hampshire.
I have learned and taught yoga, meditation, therapeutic body massage and Reiki. I have learned Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga and now practice Kriya Yoga, the method of Self Realisation as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. I pursued these paths when I lived in Brazil, India and New Zealand. I returned to the UK in 2012.
I enjoy walking, cycling, painting, playing the Indian harmonium and kartels, singing bhajans and spending as much time as possible in communion with Great Spirit.

My Code of Ethics at The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and Hypnotherapy Society places your well-being at the heart of my approach.
These principles are a foundation of our ethical practice and decision making.
The fundamental principles of this code are:
Practitioners hold the welfare of clients central to their work and so commit to avoiding harm.
Practitioners endeavour to establish trust with their clients and the community in which they work. Therefore, practitioners not only honour the trust placed in them by their clients and the community but also act in a respectful, professional and ethical manner when representing their profession.
Clients have the right to self-determination and to be shown dignity and respect for making their own lawful decisions.
Practitioners are aware of their own judgements based on their own experiences, and need to take precautions (supervision) to provide a service that is not restricted by their own prejudice and limitations of experience. This also means showing respect for diversity of persons, without prejudice to colour, race, belief, gender, sexuality, social context, and mental and physical abilities.
Practitioners work to be as honest, truthful and accurate as possible. They are also responsible for looking after their own needs and health. So, a practitioner will only commit to a practice that they can offer being aware of own expertise, training, health and wellbeing and let the client know if anything changes.
