I embrace a holistic approach to therapy, but mainly recognising that the relationship to our soul is the key source of healing our wounded psyche. Jung called the soul self the essence of who we truly were born to be. The self with a big S. My therapeutic training has evolved over 30 years, from Humanistic to somatic, expressive arts, non directive play therapy and Jungian. The term most used for my approach is 'transpersonal therapy' this relates to working at depth to explore the bridging of our unconscious self into consciousness. To support your emotional and psychological well-being it starts with getting to know each other and together we move into what you need through relational attunement. The expressive arts, breathe work, dream work, play, shamanic practices and sand play are all helpful ways to allow this process of ‘Self’ knowledge to evolve. Whether you are seeking individual guidance or looking to enhance your relationship, I am here to take a unique journey with you, by offering a safe and trusting space for exploration and growth.

Workshops and Retreats
My 'painting your soul awake' workshops create a nurturing environment where you can explore your creative essence without judgement. My approach pivots around the ethos of Aviva Gold, Natalie Rogers and Jungian archetypal symbolism. Here you can spend a day connecting or re-connecting with your own blank artists paper, awaiting the flow of freedom to come alive. You will be with others who are also seeking a similar free flowing expressive experience. The groups are usually 10 to 12 people held in a local hall in Findon Valley and provide a fun and safe day to create and just be. Cost £90. All art resources and beverages are included, bring a painting overall or shirt and something to share for lunch. Dates coming soon.
My Workshops and occasional retreats at my home, create a unique opportunity for personal growth. Engaging with like-minded individuals in a nurturing environment can catalyse transformation. You'll leave with a painting that will surprise you, a glowing sense of warmth from the connection to a community of people on a similar journey.

“The workshop was life-changing. I felt truly supported and understood throughout the process, I played, painted and felt free to explore my old beliefs that I am not creative, which made all the difference.” ( participant N. 2018).
