About

I work as a clinical yoga therapist in collaboration with other Allied Health Professionals and medical teams in acute care and psychosis rehab in mental health hospitals for both the NHS and Priory Group. I am also currently finalising my studies towards attaining a Level-7 professional diploma in Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy, accredited by the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP), of which I am a Fellow. I believe there is an immense need to integrate mindfulness, breath, body, mind and soul with traditional talking therapies, and I am very excited to be able to offer such innovative and truly integrative therapy that builds on the knowledge of my diploma in yoga therapy to include a wide array of psychotherapy modalities.

 

As an integrative therapist, the core of my practice is yoga therapy informed by psychotherapy models of Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Internal Family Systems, Compassion-Focused, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Spiritual Counselling traditions. I work intuitively using inquiry techniques and psychotherapeutic approaches to walk beside my clients in their journey, working with the whole person: physical, energetic, mental, emotional and spiritual. I honour the powerful and unique relationship between body, mind and soul to support my clients in welcoming a felt sense of joy, self-discovery, self-understanding and self-actualisation in their lives through an intuitive and individual blend of talk therapy, embodied somatic practices and active imagery to become more connected to both their internal and external worlds.

 

I have completed extensive specialised training and studies on the impact trauma has on the body and on our capacity to navigate in our environment, and I use relevant practices to regulate the nervous system and befriend the body on a path of deeper self-compassion, curiosity and acceptance.

 

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), and I am a member of the Association of Integral Eye Movement Therapy Practitioners (AIEMT).

​

I am  also a martial artist, student of Wado-Ryu karate, a physical and spiritual practice I honour very deeply. I am forever grateful to my teachers who continue to show me the way and inspire my practice through deeper awareness and self-development.
