My Journey

My journey began in South Africa, but in many ways, it began with a feeling I’ve carried since childhood.

​

From a very young age, I felt a deep connection to something greater—a closeness to God, to creation, and to the life that flows through all of us.

​

Even then, I sensed that what we can see and touch isn’t the whole picture. There was something extraordinary about being alive, something I couldn’t fully explain but felt deeply.

​

That sense of wonder has stayed with me throughout my life.

​

My journey eventually brought me to the UK. Moving countries gave me a personal understanding of leaving behind familiar people, places and ways of life, and finding a sense of belonging somewhere new.

​

Professionally, my path has taken me through social work, Gestalt play therapy, and systemic couple and family psychotherapy, eventually completing my doctorate in systemic psychotherapy.

​

I spent many years working in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, supporting children, young people and families through difficult periods in their lives. Today, in my private practice, I work with adults, couples, children and families.

​

Throughout this work, I’ve remained curious about the relationship between our experiences and the stories we come to believe about ourselves.

​

How do we begin to feel that we’re not enough? That we have to earn love? Or that we must stay in control to feel safe?

​

These beliefs often develop in the context of real experiences. They can become ways of protecting ourselves, even when they later leave us feeling anxious, disconnected or stuck.

​

When I sit with someone in therapy, I want to understand their pain, their relationships and what has happened in their life. I also hold a deep respect for the person beyond those experiences—their dignity, their capacity to grow, and their freedom to discover what matters to them.

​

My own spiritual understanding is that there is a wholeness at our core that suffering does not erase. That belief helps me remain hopeful, even when someone finds it difficult to feel hope for themselves.

​

You don’t need to share my spiritual beliefs. Our work begins with your experience, your language and your understanding of the world.

​

Together, we can explore the patterns and beliefs that may be restricting your life, make space for what hurts, and discover different ways of relating to yourself and others.

​

For me, there is something deeply moving about witnessing a person begin to trust themselves again—to recognise their own worth, find their voice, and feel more alive.

​

My own journey continues, too. I’m still learning, questioning and discovering, with music, languages, nature and the people I love all forming part of that journey.

​

I bring that humanity into my work, alongside my training and experience. There is room for depth, silence, curiosity, and sometimes a little laughter.

​

You don’t need to arrive with everything neatly explained.

​

We can begin wherever you are.
