​
I’m an EMDR trained, Drama and Movement Therapist and Supervisor living and working in London.​ Placing connection and understanding at the heart of my practice, I offer a culturally sensitive, person centred approach to psychotherapy.
​
As the Senior Psychological Therapist within HMP Services, I focus on therapeutic encounters through the lens of social justice and have a specialist interest in cultural influence on emotional development, and the influence of the creative arts on brain development.
​
Further to my role in forensics, I'm a visiting lecturer at Roehampton University and a performing artist.​
I use a blend of psychology, movement, dramaturgy, stories and neuroscience to support my clients in building a better understanding of their internal worlds.​ By using both EMDR and the arts as explorative tools, truths that are hidden within the depths of the psyche may be revealed in a safe and containing way. In accessing unconscious processes and offering them a form; be that through words, art, movement, or any other medium, we enable ourselves to explore and share our story, allowing us a more integrated understanding of who we are and why.
Both EMDR and creative processes allow us to retune our neural pathways establishing healthier thought patterns and a more autonomous relationship with the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us. Furthermore, my training in Neuropsychoanalysis and Neuro-dramatic-play equip me with an understanding of these processes from a neurological perspective, in turn enabling me to facilitate therapy from both a holistic and science led perspective.
