about Linda

Hello, and a warm welcome.

 

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, Clinical Mind/Body Therapist and Nervous System Specialist, offering a collaborative, relational and creative approach in my practice.

 

My experience has been developed in various environments, including NHS primary and secondary care settings, Priory Hospital acute mental health services, and charitable therapy centres in Sussex, offering specialised support to survivors of acute trauma, addictions, psychosis, anxiety, depression, emotional challenges, compulsive behaviours, relational and identity crises.

 

I am accredited by and Fellow of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP), and I'm part of their Professional and Training Standards Review Committee. As an NCIP Fellow and practitioner, I abide by their Code of Ethics and Professional Standards. For my yoga therapy practice, I am accredited by the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). 

 

I am also a Martial Artist, student of Wado Ryu Karate. Karate is a physical and spiritual practice I honour very deeply, and as also assistant instructor and Safeguarding Lead, it is an art that guides my approach and commitment to both my personal and professional development.
