Coming home to yourself

​

At the heart of my work is a simple belief.

​​

Each of us carries within us an essential self that is capable of wisdom, resilience and relationship. Life can gradually draw us away from that place through trauma, loss, anxiety, difficult relationships or the demands of everyday life.

​

This is what I mean by coming home to yourself.

​

Whether we are talking together in the therapy room or working quietly alongside the horses, my intention is always the same: to offer a safe, compassionate relationship in which healing, growth and meaningful change can emerge.

​

I don't believe that therapy is about becoming someone different. I believe it is about becoming more fully yourself.

​​

How I came to this work

​

I've always been fascinated by what helps people flourish.

​​

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years working internationally in leadership and organisational development. That understanding led me into the profession of counselling and psychotherapy, where I completed postgraduate training in Psychosynthesis Counselling and have continued to develop my practice through somatic approaches and Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy.

​

Today, these different strands come together in one simple purpose: helping people reconnect with themselves.

​

The world that nourishes me

​

Outside my professional life you'll usually find me with my horses, walking my dogs or spending time in nature here in rural Devon.

​

Like all living things, we each have our own rhythm of growth, and I feel privileged to accompany people as they find their own way home to themselves.
