My therapy practice is rooted in over 25 years of meditation and Buddhist practice. I am an ordained Buddhist and a parent; I bring both personal and professional experience to my work. I think it’s also important to say that I have had many years of therapy myself.
Before becoming a therapist, my background was in learning and development, careers guidance, project management, and teaching. This breadth of experience informs the way I work with clients — combining relational depth, and a compassionate, mindful presence.

Credentials & Professional Qualifications
I am an accredited psychotherapist with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). This accreditation means I undertook seven years of in-depth training and clinical experience to qualify as a therapist.
I have an MA in Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy from the Karuna Institute, awarded by Middlesex University. This training programme was one of the original mindfulness-based psychotherapy trainings in the UK. It offers an integrative and contemplative approach that combines Western psychotherapeutic methods with Buddhist psychology, mindfulness practice, and trauma-informed somatic work.
In addition to being a UKCP-accredited member, I am also a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Association of Core Process Psychotherapists (ACPP).
I engage in regular one-to-one and group supervision, as well as ongoing professional development, to ensure my practice remains responsive, ethical, and alive to new learning.
